3 Things They Should Have Taught in Church about Witnessing

Are you ready to take your witnessing efforts to the next level? At Airstrike, we understand that spreading the word of God is a crucial part of our mission, and we've found some valuable insights that might not have been covered in your traditional church teachings.

In this blog post, we're going to share three important lessons about witnessing that could transform your outreach efforts.

And, of course, we'll show you how to use our unique cross pennies and Million Dollar Bill gospel tracts to make your conversations memorable and impactful.

Building Bridges Before Sharing the Message

Witnessing is not just about delivering a message; it's about building a connection with the person you're talking to.

Think about the example of Jesus, who often initiated conversations by showing genuine interest in people's lives.

In John 4, we see Jesus engage in a meaningful dialogue with the Samaritan woman at the well.

He didn't immediately reveal His identity; instead, He built a bridge by asking for a drink of water, leading to a profound conversation about spiritual thirst and the living water He offers.

John 4:7-10 tells us a story relating to this. It reads, "So a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, 'Give me a drink.' (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)

The Samaritan woman said to him, 'How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?' (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink," you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.'"

If you read carefully, you see that Jesus didn’t simply bombard the Samarian woman with the truth of the Gospel.

Instead, He built a bridge with her through conversation and asking for a drink.

This way of approaching the situation helped the woman become more receptive to Jesus’ message.

The Power of Visual Aids: Introducing the Million Dollar Bill Tract

Imagine the impact of leaving someone with a smile and a Million Dollar Bill tract after sharing the Gospel message.

This ingenious tool not only serves as a conversation starter but also leaves a lasting impression.

The Million Dollar Bill poses a thought-provoking question that engages the reader: "Will you go to Heaven when you die?"

This simple question immediately invites curiosity and sets the stage for a meaningful discussion about faith and salvation.

In Matthew 13:31-32, Jesus tells the following story: “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown, it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."

These story teaches us that even the smallest of seeds planted in the lives of others can lead them to a vibrant and blooming faith.

Our Million Dollar Bill tract is a wonderful and simple way to plant that seed in the heart and mind of another.

The Art of Timing and Patience

One of the most valuable lessons in witnessing is learning the art of timing and patience.

Not every encounter will lead to an immediate conversion, and that's okay.

Our Million Dollar Bill tract, along with the engaging conversations sparked by cross pennies, can act as reminders and catalysts for further reflection.

Sometimes, it takes time for seeds of faith to grow. By leaving a piece of your heart and the Gospel message with those you encounter, you're sowing the seeds of transformation that may blossom in due time.

Galatians 6:9 reads, "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

This verse is a powerful reminder that we must be confident that God is working in and through us, bringing His perfect plan to completion according to His timing.

Through the Holy Spirit within you, God will bring others to faith.
