Introducing the GoodSeed Tool Selector
At GoodSeed, we have a number of tools specially designed for giving away to people. When you are faced with an opportunity to give a tool, some questions to consider are: What language does your friend speak? How old is she? What is his worldview? What is her preferred learning style?
Consider this your personal ministry
“I am an ambassador-homemaker. I have young children. I cook, clean, help with homework and bring the kids to school. Wherever I go, I am on the lookout for how I can share the gospel with others. I plan for my day as a homemaker by setting aside time and budget to manage my household […]
Excuse me, Ambassador, someone wants to meet you!
For many of us, there is little that is more frightening than to hear Jesus say in Mark 16:15, “As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.” The thought of sharing the gospel can be truly petrifying. “How do I do it? What do I say? What if they outright reject […]
I thought I was ready, but I wasn’t
(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.) One day during the course of his daily routine, Tim* came across a man along the street and they struck up a conversation. As they chatted, Tim learned that the man was “religious” and that he enjoyed reading books. A light went on in Tim’s […]
I wonder if I just wasted a bunch of money
(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.) Calvin* and a friend were going on a four-day road trip for a conference. They estimated that it would take four days by car to get to their destination and they planned on stopping for meals at diners and restaurants. As part of the […]
Ever consider your handyman?
(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.) I was having a chat with the handyman who had come over to my house to fix a leaky pipe. He had paused for coffee and we took a few minutes to chat. I learnt that he was more than just a handyman—he was a […]
I gave a book. Did it have impact?
(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.) We’ve talked about “Personal Distribution Points” and “Be Ready Boxes” and living a lifestyle of just giving away gospel tools. But does it have impact? Here are several testimonies from people who received a GoodSeed tool. My colleague of 20 years Tony* had witnessed to […]
Are you ready to give the Good News?
(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.) All believers are given the biblical mandate to live a lifelong lifestyle of being ready to share the Gospel at a moment’s notice. This sharing doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with us cultivating a deliberate lifestyle of being ready so that when God puts […]
Don’t rush Advent–or the gospel
“Haste makes waste.” We’ve all learned that some things just aren’t worth rushing. Celebrating Advent is one of them. Sharing the Gospel is another. Advent is a slow and purposeful celebration. It cannot be hurried or abbreviated. It is more like a buffet than a drive-through. Each week’s candle kindles a new truth: hope, love, […]
Jesus who?
“Teacher, you swore!” Mrs. Barclay had just begun to read the Christmas Nativity to her third-grade class when Lisa, a bright little girl in the front row interrupted. It took a moment before she realized Lisa had never heard ‘Jesus Christ’ as anything but profanity. (Fast-forward ten years…) Now a college sophomore driving home for […]
