1. Have a good
class, Kenny
.
We’ll pick you
up at six.
Enjoy
yourself
.
Thanks, Mom
and Dad!
seven ways to
share god’s love
2. Be a friend.
1. Start with the
person next to you.
One of the best ways to share
God’s love is exactly the
same way you get acquainted
with anyone you meet.
Hi, I’m
Kenny
.
I’m
Isidora.
Asking people questions about
themselves and their lives is a good
way to get to know others and make
friends; it shows that you’re both
interested and concerned.
Have you
been playing
violin for
long?
Two years.
And you?
Not quite as
long. I probably
sound like a
screeching cat
compared to
you!

2. Made you
cry? …
Oh, I heard
a violin solo
when I was
younger—
What made
you want
to play the
violin?
it was so
beautiful it made
me cry
.
Interesting.
The class
is about to
start.
Maybe we can
talk again
later?
I’d love
to.
3. Listen!
Encourage
people
to speak
their
heart.
Listen to
them and
hear them
out.
Isidora,
I’ve been
wondering about
what you told
me about your
reaction to
the violin
solo.
Several weeks later.
What
reaction?
You mentioned
you cried when
hearing the
violin solo.

3. Well, my
parents had just
divorced then, and
the music helped me
to … you know…
I think I do.
And I know
that Jesus
understands
too.
Jesus?
Jesus Christ?
Oh, you
probably
don’t. …
4. Give them God’s answers...
Give them
God’s
answers in
your own
words. You
can also
show people
verses from
the Bible.
You
do?
Yes. I know
that He’s right
there when we
struggle through
something.
Lift up Jesus by telling
the person what He does
for you!
I recently
had a close friend
… you know, die.
It says here in
the Bible that He is
near to them with a
broken heart. …
And read
this.
Jesus
comforted
me.
I’m sorry
for your
loss.

4. Yes, and
He wants to
comfort
us.
So He
understands
what I’m going
through?
“…A man of
sorrows and
acquainted
with grief ”1
.
1.
King David once said
about God “Even though I
,
walk through the darkest
valley I will fear no evil, for
,
you are with me; your rod
and your staff they
,
comfort me. 2
”
Isaiah 53:3 ESV
5. When the time is right
,
introduce them to Jesus.
Jesus wants
us to be happy
.
And He wants to
be our personal
friend
.
Sounds
awesome. … But
how?
You can pray
with me to ask
Him to come into
your heart.
Do I have
to kneel?
Would you
like that?
No.
Okay
.
Pray with them to
receive Jesus.
For those who are undecided,
you can offer to pray for them.
2.
Psalm 23:4 NIV
Wait for God’s perfect timing. Remember Paul counsel: “I planted the seed in
’s
your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not
important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is
that God makes the seed grow” (1 Corinthians 3:6–7 NLT).

5. 6. Take care of those you lead to Jesus.
Encourage new believers to read God’s Word so that they will grow in faith.
Get their telephone number or email
address so that you can continue to
minister to their spirits.
Can I have
your email
address?
Sure.
Encourage new believers
to read the Word so that
they will grow in faith.

7 Pray for people!
.
Keep on praying for
those who come to
know Jesus, that they
will grow closer to
Him.
My audition
went incredibly
well!
It was as
though Jesus
was playing
through
me!
And I had a
strong sense that
you were praying
for me!
I was!
Pray for those who are not yet saved to experience God’s love and care in
their lives and come to know Jesus.
