How To Start a Conversation About the Lord |
Most advise about this that you get from churches are uncomfortable, awkward, and unhelpful. below are some tips that might help you get started without making everyone feel weird.
1. leave your bible or a church tract out where they can be seen.
this is a good way to give people the opportunity to bring up the subject if they want to, or to avoid the subject if it's a sensitive topic for them, but if the tract has the gospel on it, then you have still given them a chance to read the truth for themselves.
2. Tell (or ask) if you can pray for them.
"can I add you to my prayer list," or "can I have my church pray for you," is a good way to let people, who mention that they have a problem, aware that you're a christian without coming off like you want them to join a cult or something. it shows a Christ-like compassion for people without being too overbearing.
3. Invite them to a special day at church
special days and church competitions are good excuses to get people to visit your church without being too pushy. you may want their help to win a competition, but you also want them to be saved as well.
