Dear Kent, We started with 30 people in our youth group. Together we went through the "How to Share Your Faith" training for the next four weeks. We also decided to pray and fast during the training for the people we had listed on our impact cards. After the training, our group of 30 shared their faith with about 150 people in about ten days. Most of the people said "yes" and received Christ. Some of them said "no." Still others said "yes," but then we never saw them again. But since the training, our youth group has grown to almost 100 over the last few months. Thank you for all your help!

Dear Kent, I felt I just had to share with you the following. I just returned from 10 days in Uganda....we saw 252 souls saved! Hallelujah...we worked with 6 national pastors and our missionaries there. I personally was blessed to lead about 40 of those to Christ and while I couldn't always use the diagram, I did always use the verbiage...whether talking to children or adults and it worked miraculously. The photo above is me with the first lady in Uganda who accepted the Lord through the "Share Your Faith" testimony and witness. She was in her garden....down a jungle path... and we asked her if we could share with her about "Someone" who changed our lives for eternity. When I finished she said that she wanted to know Jesus and that she too, wanted to go to heaven to be where Jesus is. It was a thrill and a wonderful start to a week of Sharing "my" Faith with many. I especially loved being able to explain to them what just happened (using ESPN). It was wonderful and I wanted to you enjoy the blessing along with me. ... I hope you receive this in time to savor the wonder of it over the weekend. I hope I never loose the "awe" of being used by our Lord. To God be the glory! Thank you, again, for the gift of "How to Share Your Faith."
Thank you Kent for giving the Body of Christ a new tool for sharing the Gospel! We are so excited about the impact that HTSYF is having upon our members. The printed material is "just" the proper amount of teaching and then the video presentation with the instruction and examples of each point is powerful. As our people have left the training each week they have been excited that they can actually understand and feel comfortable as they speak to their lost family and friends. Several have already come to Christ.
We have presented this during our Wednesday Evening service and our members who are involved in our children and student ministries have asked if we will do it at another time so they can attend. Others have shared with them how tremendous the presentation, etc. has been each week. We plan to incorporate this as regular training in our on-going educational teaching institute called "MPBC University."

Dr. Tucker, I want to express to you our church's appreciation for putting together such a wonderful, biblical, practical, and simple program that encourages people to share the Gospel in such a natural, easy way. I am familiar with a number of the training resources to equip people to share their faith, all of which are good, but yours was simply the best. From the first session, our church was given all the necessary tools to start reaching people for Christ. The DVD and workbook are extremely easy to follow. Everything is to the point without a bunch of fluff and goes a long way toward removing the fear out of sharing Christ. I can't recommend this material enough. For pastors who are looking for an effective way to equip their people to share Christ, without having to remember a lot of material, memorize large amounts of Scripture, or being scared to death, then this is definitely the material to use. I plan to recommend this to all my pastor friends.
Blessings,

We held our fourth SYF training session last night with 100 people. The reports continue to demonstrate the power of equipping people and God's amazing Grace. A 4th grader shared the bridge illustration with his entire class on the chalkboard. A sales manager at a local auto dealership led a co-worker to faith in Jesus. A troubled young man stopped in my office reading me the notes he had written two weeks ago just before a failed suicide attempt. After visiting for a long time I shared the bridge. Andy prayed to receive Jesus. Thanks for praying Kent, this was the most effective four weeks of ministry I have ever been associated with."
"Kent, things are going great. We have had several people accept Christ as a result of the "How To Share Your Faith" training. I met a homeless man in a park and began speaking to him. One thing led to another, and I began drawing the Bridge Diagram for him. Almost immediately, he interrupted and said, "Oh, yeah! I've seen this in rehab!" I spoke with him briefly, concluded that he had in fact accepted Christ and was attempting to put the pieces of his life back together. Our church bought him a bus ticket to travel from Florida to California to reunite with his family. God's power through your efforts has been amazing. Thank you for putting the method into print."
