Kung nahihirapan kang ibahagi ang iyong faith, hindi ka nag-iisa.

Maraming Kristiyano ang sasang-ayon sa iyo. Kung nakikita mong isang challenge ang Great Commission, magsimula tayo sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanong: mayroon ka bang connection sa mga hindi Kristyano?

It may seem obvious, but the truth is, you can't share Jesus if you don't have a point of connection with non-believers.

Now, there’s no judgement here – but it’s a good question to ask. Marami sa ating ang passionate about our faith and open na i-share si Jesus, but it's easy to get caught up in attending and serving at church and unintentionally become stuck in a Christian bubble with no friends outside of church.

Jesus left us with a mandate to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15), a gospel that he himself brought in his words and actions. While he was among us, he regularly welcomed people from all walks of life – often to a table for a meal. There’s a long-standing tradition from the way of Jesus that sees hospitality not only as an expression of love, but as the best way to invite people to both hear and experience the gospel of God’s love in action.

Ang pagtulong sa mga tao na makilala si Jesus ay nagsisimula sa pagbuo ng mga tunay na koneksyon sa mga taong hindi pa nakakakilala kay Jesus.

Maghanap ka ng opportunities to connect sa mga hindi Kristiyano sa 'yong everyday life. By cultivating those connections, you create opportunities for great spiritual conversations. Magsimula ka sa mga friends mo, family, at mga taong nakikita o nakakasalamuha mo araw araw. It could be as simple as starting a conversation with your barista or someone at uni, or in a friendship you already have but want to take deeper.

As you grow your friendship, find ways to demonstrate the fruit of the spirit. Let peace, love, and joy shine out like a light on a hill pointing to Jesus. In the context of your close relationships, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and take opportunities to open up conversations about Jesus, church, and faith.

Evangelism will become a natural part of your life as you simply connect well to the people in the world around you, letting love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and self-control flow through you.

Connection is something prized and valued by the Kingdom of God, and it is something unique you can offer your non-Christian friends. Ano ang isang bagay na hindi pa nila nakukuha mula sa kanilang sariling komunidad? Marahil ito ay tunay na suporta at pagmamahal mula sa isang komunidad na pinahahalagahan ang malalim na koneksyon. This kind of community offers safety, security, and stability. People are hungry for genuine connection. Share Jesus by practising deep connection with the world around you.
