"How do we talk to our friends about Jesus?"

Tonight was one of my favorite nights on campus so far. I went to campus for my usual Monday night, Freshmen Small Group Bible Study. I was crabby, because it was 9:oo, and all I wanted to do was stay home with the hubster and the cats, and chill out. When I got there only, four girls showed up, and I was really discouraged.

We studied Mark 4:1-25, the passage that talks about the 4 Soils. We were talking about good soil bearing fruit and what that would really look like. Somehow, all of the girls started asking similiar questions or making statements like.... "I am not afraid to say I am a christian, but I am afraid to talk about Jesus." "How can I tell someone that Jesus is the only way?" "How can I get into a conversation about Jesus?" "What if I miss the opportunity? Will God bring another one?"

What a treat to a) have real conversation b) to have people who really have a desire to see their friends come to faith but have no idea how to do it c) it gives me a place to start with them as far as discipleship and training.
