Many Christians struggle with personal evangelism, sharing the message of Jesus Christ with others. One reason for this is that religion is generally considered a private affair in our society. To talk to others about your faith seems a little pushy and in bad taste.

The series shows why sharing Christ is important and provides Bible-based advice on how to witness.
