Theme: Evangelism as Overflow – Sharing the Gospel with Urgency, Joy, and Faithfulness

  1. Evangelism Is Overflow, Not Obligation
    • The conversation emphasizes that evangelism flows from a heart captured by the Gospel.
    • It’s not about pressure or performance—it’s about loving people enough to speak up.
    • We share because we believe Jesus is worth knowing.
  2. Why We Hesitate to Share
    • Fear of rejection, lack of confidence, and not knowing what to say are common reasons.
    • But the group reminds us that God does the saving, not us—our job is to be faithful, not perfect.
  3. Personal Stories and Everyday Opportunities
    • Each speaker shares real stories of Gospel conversations—with neighbors, kids’ sports teams, or during daily routines.
    • Evangelism isn’t reserved for special events—it happens in the normal flow of life.
  4. Equip and Encourage One Another
    • Churches and leaders must equip their people with training, prayer support, and examples.
    • Encouraging one another with testimonies fuels boldness and joy.
  5. Results Are God’s, Faithfulness Is Ours
    • Evangelism is not measured by conversions but by faithfulness.
    • “We plant and water—God gives the growth.”
    • Success is showing up and sharing Christ, regardless of the outcome.
