Sharing Jesus Without Fear

William Fay is the author is this great book that every believer ought to read. The book clearly gives simple steps to overcome fear in personal witnessing. It also gives several good approaches that can be successfully used in sharing your faith. It is a book that I have put in the hands of several of our church members.

I spoke to Bro Fay yesterday and he is certainly sold on sharing our faith with others. One thing he said that really caught my attention. He said that one remarkable thing that has come from his book is that church members are getting saved like never before. He said, we need to begin the "inreach" effort along with the "outreach" effort. Apparently they are discovering that over 30% of church members in the average church are unsaved! That's scary!

It therefore becomes apparent that one of the reasons we have so little spirituality in some of our churches is that 30% of the membership maybe lost! This may explain a lot about the downward spiral of our churches.
