Online - Online Launch of Faith Sharing Profiles
@
Share Jesus International. Over the last 25 years it has been a privilege to work with local churches and individual Christians who want to share their faith. What we have discovered is that many of us feel pressured to share Jesus in a certain way. And when we fail to do so, we can end up feeling really guilty!
As a charity this year, we have been doing some research into how Christians share their faith. We’ve done quantitative and qualitative research to explore some of the underlying tensions when it comes to faith sharing. And on the back of that we have created a quiz that helps each of us explore our natural approach.
Having field tested it in a number of settings, we are launching the research online and we’d love you to join us! You’ll get a chance to do the quiz and think through how you share your faith.
