Five things I have learned about…sharing my faith

Cathy Madavan encourages us all to find winsome ways to share the good news with those around us

I distinctly remember becoming a Christian at university in the early 1990s. It was all so exciting! I was forgiven, loved, welcomed into a new family and given a new purpose in life. Frankly, my excitement bubbled over everywhere – in my part-time work where I told anyone who stood still about Jesus, and in the pub where I wrote: “Smile! Jesus loves you!” on the chalkboard. I simply could not imagine that anyone would not want to know the good news. Over 30 years have passed since then, and I hope I am just as committed to sharing my faith (although my methods may have become slightly less confrontational). Here are some reasons why, which I hope will encourage you to share your faith too.
