How Ordinary Christians Can Share The Extraordinary Gospel: Less than 5% of Christians share the Gospel with one person per year. 76% of Christians do not know the mission of the Church (The Great Commission). But why? Sadly, many Christians are unequipped and untrained to share their faith. In addition, the church has taught us to outsource this work to the professional pastors—simply invite your friends to church and they will do it for us. However, is this the biblical instruction? No. In this episode, Dale and Veronica look at the Bible's expectation for sharing the Gospel. by Real Christianity
