Our Responsibility to Share
As believers, we hold a special calling in our hearts that encourages us to share our faith with others. It’s not just a suggestion; it’s a command from our Savior to go into the world and spread the Gospel. We understand that sharing our faith is about more than just words; it’s a lifestyle that reflects our love for God and our desire for others to experience His love as well. Our faith is a light that shines in darkness, and when we share it, we are providing hope and encouragement to those around us. We welcome this responsibility to be His witnesses wherever we go, knowing that we have the Holy Spirit guiding us.
