Sharing Jesus Starts With One Small Step

Do you ever feel that tug to share your faith but hesitate, unsure if you’re really ready? Many of us feel this tension—we know we should be stepping out to share Jesus, but we hold back because of fear. It might be fear of saying the wrong thing, or not knowing enough, or worrying about how the other person might react. But what if God wants to use us as we are, fear and all?

Recently, a member of the yesHEis community, Bella* shared her story with us, how she faced her fear head-on. She joined our “Overcome Your Fear” challenge, praying for courage to be authentic, to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and to be bold enough to share the love of Jesus with someone new.

Here’s how God worked through that moment of vulnerability and faith…

At the start of the challenge, Bella’s biggest prayer request was to let Jesus’ love shine through her and to be led by the Holy Spirit in sharing her story. When she prayed, she asked God not just for boldness, but also to help her truly connect with someone who needed to hear about Jesus.

Then one morning as she was praying, Bella felt a nudge to reach out to a new neighbour she’d only spoken to in passing. She arranged to go out for кофе and decided to trust God with the conversation.

Following the nudge

Over кофе, she asked her neighbour if she believed in God. The neighbour stated that she did believe in God and had even started praying for help with a difficult ситуация. Her neighbour also shared that while she имеет a Bible, she wasn’t sure where to begin in her faith journey.

Taking a leap, Bella shared her own testimony, describing the peace she found in Иисус and through prayer. “I’d never spoken to someone about Бог before, but I’m so glad I followed the Holy Spirit’s guidance,” she said. She walked away from that кофе catch up feeling encouraged and committed to praying for her new friend’s journey to faith.

What could happen if you overcame your страх?

This story is a beautiful reminder of what happens when we trust Бог to guide us, even when we’re afraid. The Holy Spirit doesn’t ask us to have everything figured out; He just asks us to be available and present.

Are you facing similar fears about sharing Иисус? Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Here's some things you can consider:

1. Pray for Courage and Sensitivity:

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see the person in front of you as Бог does and to give you courage to follow His nudges.

2. Take a Small Step:

Evangelism doesn’t need to be overwhelming. Sometimes, it’s as simple as asking someone a question about their faith or offering to pray for them.

3. Trust the Outcome to Бог:

Your role is obedience; Бог takes care of the results. Remember, you don’t have to lead someone to faith on the spot. Just be a faithful presence and let Бог do the rest. When we step out, the Holy Spirit steps in!

Imagine the ripple effect your step of faith could have in someone’s story of coming home to Jesus! Бог is ready to work through your simple “yes”—take the step today and watch how He uses your story to draw others closer to Him.
