\u201cBut in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.\u201d 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)<\/em><\/p>\n

We learn in this scripture that we should always be prepared to give our testimony. This means we need to put thought and work into developing the delivery of our personal story of redemption, so that we will always be ready to share. Our story of salvation is a powerful tool for witnessing. Print this guide out and use it to help you develop and be confident in the delivery of your testimony. Remember you don\u2019t have to include every single detail of your life. You could develop this from a general overview of your life or one specific time or experience. You need to be able to deliver your story in 3-5 minutes or less for greatest attention and impact.<\/p>\n

Aprendemos en esta escritura que siempre debemos estar preparados para dar nuestro testimonio.
