I'm taking an evangelism class this semester in seminary at Liberty. While this class does not seem very hard academically, it will definitely be a challenge spiritually and emotionally. We are required to report on several witnessing experienced. I emphasize that the requirement is the report, not the witnessing. It would be ideal if I entered this class as someone who regularly shares his faith, but I cannot say that's true for me. I rarely share with anyone. So I'm trying to see this class as an opportunity. It's going to be tough and it's going to force me to really rely on God for help and strength (which is in itself another opportunity.) Trying my hardest to think of it that way made me think of something else.
How often do we mistake opportunities for hassles or annoyances? I know I do it all the time. I could very easily view this class as a big pain, and whine about all the "assignments" that I have. Or I could take this chance to learn how to tell others about Jesus without fear. This is just one example of the many opportunities that I would rather not miss.

Have you tried the "Share Jesus Without Fear" witnessing plan? You will have no problems when using it. Bobby at jcandbdc@yahoo.com
That's one of the books we'll be going through in class! I'm looking forward to reading it and working through it.
