Friday: Share the Story

Reflection: Peter says to honor Christ as Lord and be ready to explain your hope with gentleness and respect. Missions eventually requires words. Prayer matters. Listening matters. Meals and service matter. But the good news must be shared. Share your story, not as a polished speech, but as honest witness. Tell what Jesus has done in you. Tell how grace met your sin, how hope carried your grief, how Christ is changing your desires. You are not responsible to save anyone. You are responsible to point to the Savior. Global missions presses this truth on us: people need more than kindness, friendship, and relief. They need Jesus. The same is true for the people beside you. Today, ask God for courage that is gentle, clarity that is humble, and love that is willing to speak. Someone near you may need the hope you have been holding quietly.
Application Question: How would you explain the hope Jesus has given you in a way that is honest, clear, and personal?
