I’ve been thinking recently about “the testimony” — your story of conversion. Most of us have one and most of us have done exercises where we write it the testimony of our conversion, revise our testimony for clarity, and shorten our testimony to share it in 5 minutes or less.
The basic premise of Reimagining Evangelism: Inviting Friends on a Spiritual Journey is that God is at work already in the lives of pre-Christians, and our job in evangelism is to participate in that work. The author uses the metaphor of being part of a “detective agency” to explain personal evangelism.
All of us have unique stories that God has given to us. Some of us have conversion experience stories. Some of us have had gradual awareness stories of owning why and how we believe. But our testimony is more than just coming to a place of faith.
