We need to have a clear testimony if we want to have an effective ministry. As youth leaders, we need to help our youth be able to share their testimonies.
To get your testimony ready (while helping your teens get their ready), you need to have your Bible, paper and a pen with you. Write out your testimony.
Set aside time each day to read over your testimony. Have your teens pair off with someone they are comfortable with sharing their testimony. Now have them practice sharing their testimony with each other. Encourage them to get together with their practice partner as much as possible and practice giving their testimony. They don’t want to become mundane when telling their story they just want to be comfortable sharing it with others.
Your testimony should include the following things:
1. Your acceptance of Christ. Where were you? Who was with you? etc.
2. The freedom from guilt. How did you feel when you accepted Chirst?
3. Your faithfulness to God. Has your faith been tested? Was God there to help you?
4. The change in your life. What is new? What is different? Bad habits that you’ve given up?
5. Your deliverance from sin. How have you been saved? What were you saved from?
6. Your assurance of eternal life. How do you know you have eternal life?
Help your teens find scripture that supports what they believe. Help them memorize scripture that supports salvation and eternal life.
Pray for and with your teens as they put together their testimony and practice becoming comfortable sharing it. We are called to tell the world and go making disciples. Don’t leave your teens hanging!
