I hear repeatedly how someone’s story (their testimony) has made an impact in someone’s life. One person’s experience can evoke emotions and memories and spur a person to make a “180” change. The recovery our facilitators witness during our post-abortion Bible studies brings tears to the eyes of the leaders and is a constant reminder of how many hurting people need to hear the work God is doing in people.
Rick Warren says, “Your personal testimony is more effective than a sermon, because unbelievers see pastors as a professional salesmen, but see you as a ‘satisfied customer,’ so they give you more credibility. Many won’t accept the authority of the Bible, but will listen to a humble, personal story.” I wholeheartedly agree. The power of your story can evangelize your world.
In 2015, the founders and volunteers of the collective ministries of Initiative 180 and Peace After the Storm will be releasing a new book, Go Tell It, sharing how one surrendered life can birth a ministry and impact our culture, one story at a time. As the release date draws near, you’ll be hearing more about Go Tell It.
Please be in prayer for this project as we share from our heart to yours.
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1 John 5:11
