A few years ago, after a festival, a young man \u2013 call him Joe -approached me. He said, \u201cLuis, how can I share the Good News? I\u2019m not an evangelist. I\u2019m not a pastor. And I\u2019m not a missionary! I\u2019m just an ordinary guy.\u201d In response, I said, \u201cWell, has God changed your life?\u201d Of course, Joe said \u201cYes!\u201d So I told him, \u201cIf God has changed your life, then you have what it takes to share the Good News! You have personal experience! You have a first-hand understanding of the power of Jesus!\u201d Often, I see people like Joe, who are afraid to share the Gospel because they don\u2019t have some credential that gives them some imagined authority. But the truth is, we don\u2019t need the title of \u2018Pastor\u2019 or \u2018Missionary\u2019 to tell the Good News. All we need is a heart for Jesus, and the story of Him working in our lives. People cannot argue with how God has changed your life. So this week, be bold about telling your story. Tell the world how you went from being lost, to being found in Christ. Tell of the peace you have in Him. Be honest. Be vulnerable. And be confident that God can use your story to bring others to Him. He said, \u201cYou will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8). This is Luis Palau.
