“Have you talked with anyone about Jesus Christ during the past week? During the past month? In the past year? Since you became Christian?”

“For almost forty years I have been involved in helping to train Christians across the country and around the world in how to share their faith in Christ more effectively. While I am encouraged at how large numbers of Christians are beginning to witness with confidence, our studies still show that the vast majority of believers—perhaps as many as 98 percent— are neither confident nor effective in their witness for our Savior.”
