The Power of a Personal Testimony

Another interesting thing about Paul’s preaching of the gospel was his use of his personal testimony. When Paul shared the gospel message with powerful government leaders, he would often begin with his personal testimony. Then, he would always key in on what happened when Jesus died on the cross.

We should follow the same pattern. We all have a testimony of how Christ has changed our life. In sharing it with others, however, we should keep from exaggerating or glorifying the past. Instead, we should focus upon what God has done for us.

Your testimony is one way to build a bridge of communication with an unbeliever. And it is an excellent way to return to the source of our hope and power: Christ and the cross. Like Philip, as you follow these essential principles of evangelism, God may use you to lead a searching man or woman to Jesus.

The Jesus Movement began during a chaotic moment in American history, when thousands of young people searching for truth encountered the life-changing message of the gospel. In Jesus Revolution, Greg Laurie shares the compelling story behind this spiritual awakening—including his own transformation as a teenager coming to faith in Christ.

This book takes readers behind the scenes of a movement that changed lives through the power of God’s Word and the hope of Jesus. It’s a timely reminder that God still works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

When you give to Harvest Ministries this month, we’ll send you Jesus Revolution as our thank-you. And if your gift is $50 or more, we’ll also send you the Jesus Revolution movie on DVD—an inspiring way to enjoy and share this powerful story of revival.
