Christmas can be a disturbing holiday as the challenges of gift giving, card sending, and entertaining weigh heavily on our time, our minds, and our bank accounts. It’s easy to lose sight of the reason we Witnessing Made Easy: Yes, You Can Make a Difference xiii celebrate Christmas: to honor the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I find that if I’m not careful, my Bible reading time diminishes rather than increases just before Christmas, despite my desire to do the opposite. My only remedy has been to devote much of Christmas Day to reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Passing one jammed shopping mall after another during the fall of 2006, I began to wonder why no one ever thinks of giving a gift to God for Christmas. After all, the three magi had presented gifts to Jesus when He was born. Surely, we should continue to give gifts to Him. The more I thought about that omission, the more convinced I became that some people would welcome the idea of enrolling in the contest to lead more souls to the Lord as a Christmas gift to God. Having had some success in the past with putting out press releases, I took this route to share my idea in the usual way.
The response was muted. The secular press just didn’t seem very interested, and the Christian media hadn’t seemed to notice the release. After that disappointing result, I did a little online research and found that there were outlets for press releases that go solely to Christian Testimony media. I rewrote the earlier press release a little and sent it out via some of those services. I was pleased to find out that it was much less expensive to send out such a release solely to Christian media than to all media. The response was very encouraging this time. Many Christian news outlets briefly summarized the contest, and inquiries about the contest rapidly picked up. I was also interviewed for some printed articles and drive-time radio programs. Because of the long lead times involved with some of the stories, I decided to extend the end date for entries from January 31, 2007, to Easter 2007. That also seemed like a logical ending time for finishing a commitment made to God as a Christmas gift in 2006. I was delighted to find that not only had the quantity of contest inquiries increased, but the quality of the most recent ideas provided some real eye-openers, as well. I was equally impressed that the ideas didn’t duplicate one another; people were finding vastly different, effective ways to reach those who didn’t know and accept Jesus. Preface xiv Not surprisingly, the tools of mass communication appealed to some. If you can televise programs around the world where no one is now seeing Christian messages, you can begin to create fertile furrows in unplowed fields. One report showed that by spending $110 in Kenya to televise an hour-long DVD, eleven people reported that they were saved and five others volunteered to work as Evangelism Tool. That apparently low cost per person contrasted with some e-mails I received that estimated a cost of more than $10,000 per person saved for some major evangelical events in the United States. Radio was also described as a possible answer. One man reported that he had found a way to establish Christian radio stations for less than 1 percent of the usual cost. He had several stations operating in Canada and planned to expand to about a hundred more around the world. He reported that relatively few of his listeners had ever heard a Christian message before. One man wanted to tap into the tremendous flows of tourists who seek entertainment. His idea was to build a Christian-themed multimedia experience in Branson, Missouri, where believers could bring their friends to learn about God’s promises. But most people had the opposite feeling about employing mass media: They saw energizing the vast numbers of Christians as the best way to help lead more souls to Him. After all, if each Christian would speak to just a few non-Christians, the potential for Him to open unsaved hearts would be tremendous. As you can imagine, there are some amazing individual evangelists: They can walk up to anyone, quickly establish powerful rapport, and talk easily about becoming saved after just a few general sentences. Some of these people contacted me and shared their testimonies. One man even sent a book describing his methods. His approach was so well thought out that it could have been a role model for recruiting sergeants trying to find the next 100,000 U.S. Army troops. Gradually, I began to hear from people who had focused on taking insecure believers and turning them into effective witnesses. What was the lesson? Directing Christians to help lead more souls to Him is an ongoing educational task of the church that deserves to be part of Witnessing Made Easy: Yes, You Can Make a Difference xv every worship service. Yes, that’s right. People need to be reminded to share their faith during each service and to receive practical training in doing so. What’s the biggest hurdle to getting Christians to share their faith? Many Christians are delighted to be saved, but don’t feel like they have an obligation to help anyone else become saved. Without the desire to help the unsaved, there’s little benefit gained by instructing people in how to accomplish that task.

Before using the Real Life Stories Lighthouse Christian testimony books, I didn't realize how important it was to share my testimony with others. It was just my story.
Since coauthoring and witnessing with these books, my perspective has really changed. I was too shy to talk to people, but little by little I am breaking out of that shell by just leaving books where I am led to leave them or just saying,"Here is a free book for you". I have even started leaving them with my tips at restaurants and drive-throughs. I am grateful for this ministry because it allows anyone, even shy people like me, to share the good news. Denise Gary, Indiana Please pray for Denise as she continues to carry, 2 Real Life Stories Christian Testimony books in hand and uses them under the Holy Spirits direction. Pray for Denise to have favor with businees owners in Gary, Indiana, to get permission to place Real Life Stories Christian Testimony book displays in their businesses. Pray for the offering of books to open people up to receive prayer and to talk. Pray for any remaining fear, shyness, or feelings of not being able to leave her as she continues to obey God and walks out her witness daily. Pray for Denise to teach others what she has learned! Pray for Denise to become a Disciple Maker! We thank God, for Denise being willing to learn!!! If you? Are Shy and are willing to learn we can help you!! Order a case of mixed books today, and we will add, "at no charge" a DVD to help you get started: http://www.reallifestoriesbooks.com/store/p1/Real_Life_Stories_Sample_Case_Book_Pack.html#/ Thanks for praying saints! Together we are making an Eternal Kingdom Difference!! Are Christians doing other forms of ministry, such as; deacons, elders, worship team, ushers, childcare, day care ministry, youth ministry, senior ministry, women’s ministry, men’s ministry, audio video and sound ministry, parking lot ministry, maintenance ministry, janitor and security exempt (excused) from being a witness for Jesus?
Are apostles, prophets, pastors and teachers exempt (excused) from being a witness for Jesus? 2nd Corinthians 5:17-18. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. To reconcile means to put something that was once one, that was torn apart back together again. Man was created to be with God. Man sinned and his relationship with God was torn apart, severed or split. But God had a plan, that sinful man could be reconnected to Him, that their relationship could be restored or put back together by Jesus Christ.Once a man’s relationship is restored, the man is then given the ministry of helping other men connect to God by telling them what Jesus Christ has done for them.The ministry of reconciliation belongs to everyone that has been reconciled to God.At the moment a person is born again or saved the ministry of reconciliation, telling man how to connect to God through Jesus Christ belongs to that new believer. So, the first calling the first responsibility of every Christian is to the ministry of reconciliation. (Being involved in other forms of ministry does not change or stop your first calling!)The first calling of an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher is also to the ministry of reconciliation!!This calling, this responsibility started the moment they were born again and this responsibility stays with them in their callings of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher!!! This first calling to the ministry of reconciliation never changes or ends!!Obedience to this first calling will enhance and help make their 5 fold ministry calling more fruitful!! Selah Something to Prayerfully ponder or think on. If you would like to know more about answering the call to be an active witness for Jesus. You can Freely watch our 12 part video series at this link: http://www.reallifestoriesbooks.com/free-videos.html#/ Please pass tell all your email, Text and Facebook friends about this Free Video Series!! These Videos can help people you know!! Coach, Jim and Carla 219 -762-7589 Www.reallifestoriesbooks.com Christian testimony is the detail about the passage by which a person converts to Christianity. It includes all the truth of the personal life that how Jesus impacts the life of any person. Testimonies give us a lesson about life and increase our faith in Jesus. Testimonies show the victory of a person in life and how God helps him in a hard condition. Christian testimonies may be dramatic with instant life-changing points or may gently change life but both are very inspiring and convincing. Salvation testimonies include the real-life story of a person that how Jesus change his life by winning over the sins. For realizing the story as testimony you have to recognize the impacts of Jesus on your life.
Salvation testimony is very helpful for understanding God and increasing faith in God. Testimonies are the best way to show the love of Jesus and how Jesus change your life. If you want to describe your testimony then you have to follow these steps to show how Jesus changed your life. You have to describe the impacts of Jesus on your life before and after knowing Jesus. I was standing on a fence, and there was an incredibly large group of people assembled around it. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood another man, Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was the fence I was standing on. Both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one, each having made up his or her mind, each went to either Jesus or Satan. This kept going on, and eventually Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowds, as did Satan. But I joined neither group. I stood on the fence. Then Jesus and his people left and disappeared. So too did Satan and his people. And I was left alone, standing on the fence. As I stood there, Satan came back. He appeared to be looking for something that he’d lost. I said, “Have you lost something?” Satan looked straight at me and replied, “No, there you are. Come with me.” “But,” I said, “I stood on the fence. I chose neither you nor Him.” “That’s okay,” said Satan. “I own the fence. You belong to me.” Using Real Life Stories Christian Testimony books and testimonies has taken our witnessing to the next level. Instead of giving people just a track we are now able to give them a whole Real Life Stories Christian Testimony book to read. I was brought up learning about God in the Catholic religion, as was my grandparents, aunts and uncles who were very strong Catholics. I was sprinkled as an infant and went to Catholic school in the first and second grades. I couldn't conform to it so after this I went to public school. My parents made sure I received my first communion and the confirmation of my faith, but that was about as far as it went. I always knew God was real and anytime I was knocked to my knees, I knew there was a God to pray to. I just didn't want to submit or commit my life to walking with Him at a personal level. I led a very troubled teen and wild adolescent lifestyle with alcohol, drugs, and smoking in front of my parents at a young age. I was very rebellious, yet a hard worker. I knew how to manipulate people; I just always ran life the way I would have it. I always was searching for the next challenge or high. I started racing cars at a young age, snowmobiles and even boats later on. I did anything for a quick high. I was a spoiled little rich kid. My father was in the boat business and had a very successful business which was volatile with ups and downs of the recreation RV business. I was brought up a very poor steward of resources. We had money that did not help us; it actually caused us issues from being able to buy the alcohol, drugs and racing toys. I led a very fast lifestyle. It never brought me any lasting joy; it only brought a lot of misery and tragedy in my life. At age 18, a young gal that I was dating was killed in my presence because we were in a place where we shouldn't have been. We were not supposed to be there, and a drunk driver hit us. I had time to pray a lot when I lost her and knew there was a God, but again, I didn't submit and didn't commit to be all in with God. I went through a divorce in my late 30's. I had two sons that were not brought up knowing much Bible truth and I feel very sad that I was not the parent that they needed. I was a workaholic and a raceaholic. I was too busy for them and that's one of the reasons I went through a divorce. I am a truck driver and that's not a good field for marriage because of the separation of being gone all the time. I went through a divorce and bankruptcy. That’s when I really got back to my knees and did a lot of praying at that time, but again, I didn't submit yet.Yet I knew I needed to make a solid commitment to Jesus - to let Him become Lord over all of my life. I needed to let go of demanding my right to make my own decisions without including Him in my decision making (with the hope of Him blessing those decisions of course). I can remember pulling to the side of the road and praying a sinner's prayer with James Dobson after listening to a Focus on the Family message. After that, I got involved in a church and the very first class they put me in was a finance class; they showed me how I needed to tithe (Honoring the Lord with the first fruits of my income, so He could bless the remaining ninety percent). I had race cars and race boats, but I sure couldn't afford to give ten percent of my income to that church. I had too much money, but God took care of that a short time later, and there again it was a submission issue. I met my current wife at the age of 40. She was a career woman in the golf course country club business and I was in the boat business. We wanted to have a Christian wedding. She was brought up Reformed. I knew that we had to have God in the midst of our relationship. She never had any children, and wanted to have a child with me. I failed miserably at raising my own two boys because I didn't have the Lord in my life. We knew if we were going to do this, we were going to have to bring our child up in a Christian environment, so we committed to that in our marriage right from the beginning. God blessed us with a church family; a small non-denominational church that really walked with us. I was still a Christian Truck Drivers and in the boating business; my wife was managing the country club at the time when she got pregnant. It was tough for us to go to church but we did, because we were committed to it. Again, we struggled with being involved in church and getting filled so we could be a blessing, but God took care of that. He brought me out of the boating business and into truck driving full-time. My wife's country club actually closed its doors and became a public golf course, so she was out of that business. Eventually we started looking for a new home church. We were blessed to find a church that taught the balanced Word of God, and taught the absolute importance of having a daily, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, inviting and allowing Him to be LORD of our lives - every DAY - every HOUR of the day. We were baptized at that church about 6 months later; both of us fully immersed and came up out of that water a new spiritual creation -- hungry for Jesus and the Word. We haven’t looked back since. For those yearning to be connected properly to God, there can only be one Truth and one way to God; not multiple. Satan has brainwashed many to believe there are multiple ways ... [as long as true Christianity isn't the ONE you chose!]. Jesus is that only way, truth, and life. He's the only One who paid the penalty for our sins to be totally forgiven, so they won't be held against us on the Judgment Day, so we would not have to pay for them by suffering for eternity in hell like others who reject the free gift of eternal salvation that He offers to everyone. I pray that others would find that same truth and that more would be transformed by the Word and the Holy Spirit setting them free from the sin that separates them from God. God's unconditional love (unconditional acceptance) once we are connected with Christ -- the peace that surpasses all understanding and joy unspeakable He gives us is real. I've found a lot of things that brought temporary and unfulfilling happiness in my life. I've been very blessed and spoiled rotten, but nothing else brings the lasting joy of serving the Lord and seeing others come to know His saving grace. Nothing else brings the satisfaction of pouring your life into helping reach lost souls, and then helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord, because engaging in these activities is what blesses God the most in how we live our lives, and we not only bring HIM joy, but we will reap eternal blessings. Several years ago God called me to become a chaplain for the Testimony Book of Transport For Christ. Even though it took me a long time to come to Christ, along that journey I had stopped in other trucker chapels over the years when I was trucking. I would pick up a devotional, CD, had some fellowship, or just cried and prayed. It's just a blessing that these Truck Drivers Ministries are out there for truckers that can't get to a home church, or have a hard time finding a church they are comfortable with. God has also called me to network with other truck drivers in distributing Christian literature for truckers to freely have at various truck stops around the nation. Our primary focus is to make free Bibles available for the truckers, but we also place other trustworthy Christian literature in truck stops for them as well. There are more than 8 million people are driving trucks in the US and they are unable to attend any evangelism or testimony meeting because they have no time to go to the church. But trucker’s ministries are trying their best to providing testimonies ad gospel to truck drivers at truck stops for increasing their faith. Trucker’s ministry arranges evangelism meetings at truck stops so that truck drivers will attend them and increase their faith in god. Truck drivers have to travel long routes so they dint have free time to go to church for Evangelism Tools to increase their faith. But trucker's ministries are helping to increase their faith by providing them food and clothes. Trucker’s ministry also increases the chances for truck drivers to attend evangelism and gospel on truck stops.
Trucker’s ministries are becoming popular day by day and many truck drivers are connecting with these ministries. These drivers are called missionary drivers. They believe that everything is in the control of Jesus and they get salvation only by believing the god. The first trucker’s ministry was established in Pennsylvania City in 1951 that start providing gospels to truck drivers at a chapel truck stop. By establishing this ministry the faith of truck drivers increases and also the rate of smuggling and prostitution decrease across the chapel truck stop. Singer and veteran ministry preach the gospel by playing it on the radio. This type of preaching is more influential than other ministries. Trucker’s ministries fulfill the needs of drivers for making their beliefs stronger. Just like truckers ministry, prison ministry help to increase the faith of people by describing the life of prison that how a prison gets closer to Jesus, and how his life changed. You can read prison ministry books for increasing your faith because prison ministry describes that no one will help you except Jesus. When a person feels alone and hopeless in a prison then only Jesus will help to solve his difficulties. During prison, an inmate will promise himself to start flowing the right path and get salvation. An inmate will feel like a newborn baby after prison because he will start following Jesus's orders and gets salvation. You can easily found prison ministry book and born-again testimony videos on our website that will motivate and inspire you to believe god.
