Don’t Let Fear Win

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
You know, sometimes we hesitate to share our faith—worried people won’t be open or interested. But here’s what we are seeing around the world—more than 60% of the people that we ask are open to having a spiritual conversation. And Samuel and his team recently saw this in Romania. They visited two churches to train believers—young and old—in sharing the Gospel. And during the training, something amazing happened. One team after another shared stories of people who were open, interested, and genuinely curious about eternal life. In fact, one seventeen-year-old boy listened intently and then place his trust in Jesus, accepting Him as Lord and Savior of his life! You know, one of the pastors equipped was deeply moved—not just by those that they saw come to know Jesus—but by how open people were to talking about faith. So let’s not miss an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus because of fear. Let’s get sharing! For help, visit sharelife.today.

Witnessing Life Change

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
When we say yes to God and faithfully share the Gospel, something powerful happens—He uses us as messengers of hope, and we get to witness lives transformed firsthand… just like He once changed ours. In the Czech Republic, a group of believers recently completed evangelism discipleship training. Peter, one of the students, shared that his fear of rejection is now gone—and the door to evangelism has opened for him. Another trainee, Romana, described it as “a breakthrough.” She went from hiding during outreach to boldly sharing her testimony—even with her own family. During the training, they were able to share the Gospel was shared 33 times, and saw 13 people place their trust in Jesus. And then, they got to see all thirteen’s lives changed instantly! When we’re faithful to go, God is faithful to move. God can use you as part of someone’s story too. Let’s get going! Visit sharelife.today.

The Gospel in Spain

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Europe is often called post-modern—where many believe that no one wants to hear the Gospel. But we know the Word of God is alive and active and that the Gospel is always effective in every corner of the world! God still changes lives...and in Spain, He’s doing it through young people! Earlier this year, 18 teenagers were trained to share their faith. And just months later, at a youth missionary camp in Palma de Mallorca, they put that training into action—reaching 94 people with the Gospel with 15 accepting Jesus. These young believers discovered how simple it is to start spiritual conversations—and how powerful it is when they do. You know, God isn’t finished with Europe. He’s using His people—young and old—to bring the hope found in Jesus to their communities. And if God can do that in Spain, well He can do that here too. So let’s not wait. Let’s share the Gospel.

Sports and the Gospel

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
In Romania, over 150 teenagers recently came together for a sports and discipleship camp—and it was incredible to see what God did! They all signed up to play sports...and to learn how to share their faith. What may seem like a strange combination has been an impactful experience for years in Romania, as Christian leaders pour into these teens. Many previous graduates have been significantly impacted and even become leaders in the church in Romania. And these teens walked through the same exact experience this year. They played sports and were equipped to share their faith—and then sent out to do it. On just the first day, 98 people heard the Gospel. And in the span of a few short hours, 13 made decisions to trust in Jesus alone. So let’s be intentional about discipling the next generation—using the gifts God has given us for His glory.

Post Modern Europe

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
This summer, we’re taking a look around the world and seeing God is at work. And this week, we will be hearing stories of what God is doing in Europe. Europe is perhaps one of the most post-modern places on the planet, and yet, God is moving in mighty ways through this continent. Even in these past years of war and great political turmoil, hundreds of thousands of people have given their lives to Christ. Some of these have been refugees that have flooded across the borders of nations. And Christians in countries like Moldova, and Romania, and Poland have been able to come together and bring supplies to those in need. In addition to these acts of love, they’ve been able to share the Gospel, and many have come to know Jesus because of it. Let's join in and be faithful witnesses in our communities as well.

God Multiplies Obedience

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
In Brazil, a young girl’s life was transformed when someone shared the Gospel with her at an evangelism training. She made the decision that day that she wanted Jesus to come into her heart and be her Lord and Savior. The following day, she told her grandma and asked if she could take her Bible to school. And even though her grandma wasn’t sure it was a good idea, the little girl quietly tucked her Bible and some Gospel tracts that she had just received into her backpack. As a result, she shared the Gospel with three of her friends who, after hearing her share, asked if they could accept Jesus too. Through one life that was changed, three more were also transformed. You see, this is the power of spiritual multiplication—impacting lives far beyond what we might imagine. So let’s be faithful to share the Gospel, because you never now how God will continue to use it. For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

The Gospel To The Next Generation

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
If you’ve ever wonder whether discipling young people is worth it—just look at what’s happening in Chile! Every Tuesday, two dedicated teachers at Liceo San Sebastián are discipling seventy-one teenagers in 7th and 8th grade. These teachers were personally trained to share their faith, and they quickly realized their calling was also help shape the next generation to know and to love Jesus. And God has faithfully blessed their commitment. Just recently, twenty-one 8th graders received the gift of eternal life by hearing and understanding the Gospel clearly. What an incredible reminder that the Gospel is powerful—no matter your age. When young people are discipled, they don’t just grow...they go. They share their faith with their classmates, their family, their friends. And if they can boldly proclaim the Gospel at their schools, surely, we can do the same in our communities.

Faith Like A Child

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
If you’ve ever wondered whether someone is “ready” to share their faith—just look at the children in Honduras. These young believers recently completed the second level of evangelism discipleship training in their church, and they’re not waiting until they’re older to obey God’s call. They’re boldly sharing the Gospel right now with their friends, their classmates, and even their families! It’s a powerful reminder of Proverbs twenty-two verse six: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” You see, when kids love Jesus and are discipled to share His love with others, we see them naturally rise to the challenge. They can’t stop sharing with everyone they know. And if they can do it with such faith, courage, and joy...what’s stopping us? The truth is, we’re all called to share the Gospel! So let’s follow their lead. Let’s both equip the next generation—and say “yes” ourselves to sharing. For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

No Obstacle Too Big

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
God has given every believer a clear calling—to share the Gospel. And that call doesn’t change based on where we live, what challenges we face, or even how we communicate. In Bolivia, a group of Christians recently came together for an evangelism discipleship workshop—where they were trained and equipped to share their faith within the Deaf community. For many, it was their first time learning how to communicate through sign language. But they said yes to God’s call, and they’re now stepping out in faith to reach people who may never have had the chance to understand the Gospel before. You see, when we step out in obedience—no matter the obstacles—God provides what we need. And these believers in Bolivia showed they are willing to learn opens doors for the Gospel that might otherwise stay closed. So wherever you are, whatever you’re up against, remember—God wants to use you to share the Gospel. For more, visit sharelife.today.

God’s Faithfulness in Latin America

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
We are so excited to share more stories about what’s happening around the globe with you. And this week, our spotlight is Latin America! God is so faithful. Truly, as we walk with Him and seek His will, God shows up. And as we’re faithful to His command to share the Gospel, we see Him change lives before our very eyes! This happened in Latin America this past year. At one of our evangelism discipleship trainings in Colombia, Milagro came to learn more about God and evangelism. During the training, she felt God speak to her regarding salvation and revealed to her that she couldn’t do enough good works to save herself. Only by placing her trust in Jesus and what He did on the cross could she be saved. She felt like a woman free of working her way to heaven. She told us joyfully, “It is by the grace of God that I’m saved!” Want to learn how you can share the Gospel clearly? Well, visit our website at sharelife.today.
