So we need to do our personal testimony...

Here is the 5 areas to build your personal testimony:
  1. Thinking back, how did you view your non-saved life? What did your life revolve around?
  2. What was the trigger for your salvation?
  3. What growth, benefits, opportunities, attitude changes, relationship changes etc have you experienced since salvation? What does Christ mean to you now? How do you know Christ is in your life?
  4. Where do you think your life would be if you were not saved?
  5. Now you are saved, how do you view your pre-saved life?

Also think about:

  • What is the purpose of your personal testimony?
  • What work has Christ done in your life?
  • How are you strong now? How are you still weak?
  • Keep it short (3 mins or 1-2 pages)
  • Dont use christianese. Dont preach. Dont speak negatively/critical
  • Write as if you are sharing with just one person.
  • Ask the Lord to give you guidance!
  • It's not a life story - what's the most important idea you are putting across?

Two weeks to do your first draft!
