Glimpses of Hope
Keys Ministries educates and equips ministry leaders for service primarily in the former Soviet Union, and on today's Footsteps, Don Casteline, the executive director for Keys, points out that some of their graduates work in areas that are "very difficult with the Gospel." So, what's their strategy for sharing the Good News of Jesus with people in that "very closed" part of the world? According to Don, these former students are "offering glimpses of hope, encouragement, and then opportunities to share Christ." That simple approach to personal evangelism should work for us as well. It's basically 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV):
"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."
Let's put that verse into practice!
