The document discusses sharing one's Christian faith through evangelism and testimony. It notes two key New Testament words for sharing faith: euangelizomai, which means "to proclaim the good news", and martyreo, which means "to bear witness". The document outlines four styles of personality-based evangelism: assertive, storytelling, relational, and invitational. It encourages Christians to use their spiritual gifts to speak and serve for Christ through evangelism, as they have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so.

the power to witness is a changed life.

your life for Christ is the power to [speak
and serve] for Christ. So if God by His
Spirit has changed your life, be confident
of this:
God has given you power. Acts 1:7-8
