Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
You know, in sports there are two types of folks: the players, and the spectators. And there are many of us who live vicariously through the players without ever so much as putting on a pair of athletic shoes. Unfortunately, the same thing is happening in many churches today, and it’s heartbreaking. Believers are sitting on the sidelines of the Christian faith, letting others do the work of evangelism while they miss out on fun, and the blessings. But you know, it doesn’t have to be that way! In Europe, there are churches who band together every summer to put on summer camps for children. And during their time at the camp, they not only play sports but also have an opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel. And at the very same time, adults and teenagers are being discipled in how to share their faith. Now that sounds like a win-win! Be encouraged—it’s never too late to start sharing the Gospel.
