When preparing to go into the harvest to share the gospel there are four questions to consider: (1) WHY should I share the gospel? (2) WHO should I share with? (3) WHAT should I say? and finally (4) WHEN will I do it? Let's look at each of these separately. On this page we will look at WHAT should I say?
3 Circles - A Simple Tool for Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ - below are a few examples of how to share this tool with others.
Three Circles Sample 1
Three Circles Sample 2
A "WHAT?" ACTIVITY - Practice Drawing the 3 Circles
Grab a blank sheet of paper (and if possible a partner or someone you can practice with or train) and draw the 3 Circles. Practice until you feel confident. Refer back to the videos as needed. This is a simple tool you can use to share the gospel with people you know, as well as people you don't know.
Another "What Should I Say?" option is to tell others what Jesus has done in your life using a "15 Second Testimony" tool.
An example of someone sharing a 15 second testimony within the 3 circles framework
A "WHAT?" ACTIVITY - Think Through Your 15 Second Testimony
On a sheet of paper write down:
1) Two words that describe your life before you began to follow Jesus
2) Two words that describe how you began to follow Jesus. Typically you could use Forgiven and Follow - You can say, "I was Forgiven by Jesus and chose to Follow Him"
3) Two words that describe your life AFTER you became a follower of Jesus
Refer to the video for details
