Make Witnessing Our Way
Session Overview
In this session Greg Wilton invites students to see evangelism not as a special activity reserved for mission trips but as a way of life that flows out of following Jesus every day. The heart of his teaching is simple and freeing. We do not go out of our way to witness. We make witnessing our way. MissionLab becomes a place to practice what should already be shaping our lives at home.
Greg centers the session on the good news of Jesus and how God uses ordinary people with ordinary personalities to point others to Christ. He encourages students to lean into who God has made them to be, to pray boldly for people, and to learn how everyday conversations can naturally move toward the gospel. This posture prepares teams not only for ministry in New Orleans but for lifelong obedience wherever God sends them.
