Just 1 Challenge

Lead someone to the Lord in 30 days
Can you lead Just 1 person to the Lord in the next 30 days?

If you accept this challenge you will need to Practice, Practice, Practice.

Take these three steps:

1. Agree on times to practice sharing the gospel with your gospel partner on every day for Just 1 week.

2. Pray, by name, for your Just 1 candidates and those of your gospel partner everyday. This can be done during your practice sessions.

3. Within 7 days, contact each of your Just 1 candidates and follow the outline for a potential conversation on thew next page.


Starting the Conversation

Ask them if you can practice what you just learned.

You might say, “How are you? I just finished a training on how to share my faith and I would like to practice with you.”

Do you go to church?

Do you have a Relationship with God? Would you mind if I share what I have been learning about my Relationship with God?

Remember to listen first to their answers with curiosity and concern, before you talk. Seek to understand more than to be understood.

At the end of the call, did they understand?

Ask them if they are interested in asking Jesus to be their savior.

If they say no, ask them why and if you can follow up with any unanswered questions.

I would like to set up a meeting to get together.

Offer to pray for them.

Remember, Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2

How to start a conversation with:

Your Just 1: I was asked at church to write down the name of someone that I cared about and was praying for and your name came to mind. Do you mind if I share what I have been praying and learning.

Someone you know: I was praying for you and would like to talk to you about something that changed my life.

For someone who is suffering: I can’t imagine the pain you are going through. Can I pray with you for something specific? Do you have a Relationship with God? Would you like to know how to have one? Would like to know how He has gotten me through hard times.

A complete stranger: Identify a similarity. Hometown? career? School? Kids in sports? Talk about life and then ask permission to share a story. Personal testimony? Have you ever felt like there was more to life, but did not know what it was? Do you know that you were created in the image of God in order to have a relationship with God?
