Three Minute Testimony Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the womans testimony… Jn. 4:39

Three Minute Testimony In Acts 22 and 26 the Apostle Paul tells his redemption story. Both times his testimony was divided into 3 separate categories: 1. His former life (before he met Christ) 2. How he met Christ (the circumstances surrounding his conversion) 3. How his life changed (after he met Christ)

Pauls Story Pauls story in Acts 22: His Former Life – vs. 1-5 The Circumstances Surrounding His Conversion – vs How His Life Has Changed – vs

Pauls Story Pauls story in Acts 26: His Former Life – vs The Circumstances Surrounding His Conversion – vs How His Life Has Changed – vs And that is our pattern as well

Sharing Your Story Involves: My Life Before Christ How I Met Christ (circumstances, etc.) My life now

My Life Before I Met Christ: Before meeting Christ I…….. Felt guilty and ashamed Had no purpose or direction Lived a meaningless life Felt disconnected from God Tried to earn Gods favor & love Felt empty inside People of any age relate to these feelings

How I met Christ One day I discovered that: 1.My problem was that I am a sinner – in fact everybody is (Rom. 3:23) 2.Sin separates us from God now – and forever (Isa. 59:2, Rom.6:23a) 3.We cant fix the sin problem by trying to be good (Isa. 64:6, Titus 3:5, Eph. 2:8-9) 4.Jesus died & arose to solve our sin problem (Rom. 5:6-8, Col. 2:14)

How I met Christ 5. God wants us to TURN from our sin [repent] (Acts 2:38, 2 Cor. 7:10) 6.And TRUST Christ alone to forgive and save us from our sins forever (John 3:16, Rom. 10:9-11) 7. And He will! (Rom. 10:13)

…SO I PRAYED SOMETHING LIKE THIS Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I am sorry for that. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin and then arose. Please forgive me for all of my sins and help me turn from them. I now confess you as my Lord and Savior and trust you alone for my salvation. Thank you for the free gift of eternal life. Amen

3. My Life Now: I am NOT perfect, but I have Peace,…. …because I am Forgiven. My life has Purpose and Meaning. Im part of Gods forever-Family. I can pray to God & He hears me! I Live my life On Mission. You might end with a specific illustration of Gods grace/protection, etc since then

The Final Step Give them an opportunity to respond. Repeat the sinners prayer to them and ask: Is that what youd like to say to God? Would you like to pray that prayer right now and receive Gods forgiveness and His gift of eternal life? But how can you do all that in just 3 minutes?

Practice

Some final thoughts… 1. Protect the integrity of the Gospel. Guard against easy believe-ism. Make sure the person you are sharing with has a basic understanding of repentance and faith – and that their decision to follow Christ will fundamentally change their lives.

Some final thoughts… 2. A great way to begin the conversation is: Have I ever told you about the Most Important Thing that ever happened to me?
