Guest blogger and fearless leader Alan Dunham shares his thoughts on last weekend's Dare 2 Share conference.Dare 2 Share rocked. 10 brave students traveled down with us (Emily, Mary and myself) to Chicago for the Invincible tour put on by Greg Stier and Dare 2 Share.
We were challenged to get right with Jesus and to share our faith.
We were all asked to make a list of 5 people to share the GOSPEL with and we were also given the cell phone challenge to call one of them on Saturday during the conference. Ask Frank how his conversation went - unreal. If that is not enough, we also found time to collect 16,000 pounds of canned goods. I am so glad we went and so thankful to take a group of super students.
Next year the conference is called BLAZE and it will be March 19-21. Put it in your phone now!
The B.D.F. asks:
Willing to share with us, Frank? Be a guest blogger and let the B.D.F. post it? Just leave a comment, we'd love to hear your story.
Blessings, The B.D.F.
Dare 2 Share was an amazing weekend. I feel truly blessed to have gone. On Saturday we were challenged to pull out our cell phone right there at the conference and share the gospel with one of our friends. Before the challenge Greg Stier(the founder of Dare 2 Share) taught us how to share the gospel.
ReplyDeleteG-God created us to be with him
O-our sins separate us from God
S-sins cannot be removed by good deeds
P-paying the price for our sins, Christ died
and rose again
E-everyone who trusts in Christ alone has
eternal life
L-life that's eternal means we will be with
Jesus forever
So, I called my friend and started to share the gospel with him. I started telling him about God wanting to have a relationship with us. Then I told him about the problem of sin. At first he thought that good works would get him to heaven. But then I explained to him how God is perfect and he expects us to be perfect also. And we may think we are good people compared to others, but God is not comparing us to other people but to himself. There is no way that we could ever be good enough to remove our sins. I continued to tell him about grace and Jesus' death on the cross. He understood all that I told him. I asked him if he was ready to trust Jesus Christ as his savior. He said yes!! I prayed with him and then invited him to church with me this Sunday.
God really is amazing, and he can use us in incredible ways if we let him. I would also like to say that I did not do this on my own but it was the Holy Spirit working through me. I would like to encourage everybody reading this to get out there and share the gospel with your friends, family, co-workers, etc.
