Step 4 - The End

You’re almost ready! Before you dive in, let me share several quick tips that may help and enhance your writing.

Pray

This is obvious but we can get so consumed in the task of writing and figuring out our testimony that we forget to do what is essential! Invite others to pray

Don’t do this alone.

Recruit 2 people who will pray for you before and during; try to include at least one adult on this prayer team.

Do a heart check

Are you ready to publicly represent Christ? Be sure your heart is right with God and others. Anyone you need to talk to? Apologize to?

Know your audience

Are you speaking to mostly Christians, non-Christians, or a mix? Be sure to use language that your listeners will understand. Avoid church lingo like “saved,” “re-dedicate,” “invite Jesus in your heart.” What do those words really mean, especially to a non-Christian?

Write it out point form

Writing out in point form will enable you to think through properly before you write out your story. Does this part fits here or will it be better if I put it at the end?

Writing out MY STORY

Finally! Your end product. Write out YOUR STORY with the points that you had noted down previously. Check for spelling, grammar and vocab errors before sending it to us!

Ignore doubts

Expect your mind to be filled with lots of doubts and messages like, “Who do you think you are to share your story? You're such a hypocrite. God can't use you.” This is a strategy of Satan. Fortunately, as a Christian, you don't have to be perfect to share your story (hey, I'm not!). But you do need to know that God is with you and is cheering you on. And so are the people who are praying for you!

Keep your focus on God

Remember, it's God who has given you a story to tell. Be excited about your story, but be sure to give God the credit He deserves.Have fun!

You are loved by God and your friends no matter how you do, so relax and enjoy the privilege of telling others about the incredible relationship you have (and they can have) with Jesus.

The end!
