3 Lesson: Witnessing to someone can be a very hard thing to do. It can be intimidating to know what to say or even how to approach them. But it s a comfort to know that the footsteps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord! God is with us each time we witness. We take no thought to what we would say but just let Him use us as His mouthpiece. Many times we don t have to go out looking for someone to witness to; they come to us. There is a difference between a Christian and a person in the world, and people see that by the way you act, dress, and talk. Many people will see that Christian life reflecting through you. We witness daily to the world without even approaching anyone! We also have many tools to help us witness to someone. We can point them to the themessage.com, hand them a tape, or give them a witnessing card from our wallets we are making today! U3
