How to Use Teachable Moments to Witness

When Talking With People

✍Start the conversation on a point of interest.
✍Share some of yourself first, then ask a suitable question. 

✍Positively affirm what people say. 

✍Share a part of your spiritual self.

If You Feel Led By the Spirit

✍ Ask them about their spiritual standing. 

✍ Wait for their reaction.

✍ If they answer with an enthusiastic yes: 

  • Continue a friendly conversation.
  • Give them a gospel leaflet. 
  • Arrange to meet again.

If They Are Not Interested

✍ Drop it.
A simple way of witnessing is to use the FORT principle.

✍ God will not give up on them, but this is not the right moment The FORT Principle

Family- Talk about family first because people are usually interested in talking about their family.

Occupation- Then ask about their occupation or work. Religion- Then ask what church they presently attend. Testimony- Finally share a personal testimony.
