At Youth for Christ we have a concept about sharing the gospel called 3 Story Evangelism. Your story, My story, and God’s Story.
If we care about a person enough to share the gospel with them. We should take the time to get to know who they are and what their life is like (That’s their story).
We then see areas of their story that overlap areas of our story. At that point we can use the most powerful tool of sharing the gospel. That is, our personal story of redemption (the way God worked in our life to bring us to repentance and salvation.
This is how we build a bridge between their story and God’s story.It’s by sharing how good God has been to us. It really is the best way to share God’s plan of salvation.If you have a “personal story of redemption” and the capacity to learn and care about another person’s story YOU can make an eternal difference.
