Giving Testimony and Witness
Most people go to church to experience God, but our encounters with the Holy are in the very fabric of our lives. We live as individuals and in relationship to others as family and friends, at work and in the community. Our faith can be nourished in these relationships by becoming aware of God's action and learning how to give witness and testimony to it. The activities designed for the individual will help a person gain some comfort in sharing one's faith and living out that faith in daily life. The activities designed for the home and family are suggestions for family groups, however you define that, or for small groups who wish to gather to learn more about faith practices. In these suggested activities the participants will practice sharing their experiences of God and the way their faith informs their life with one another. This may help provide greater comfort for venturing out to share those thoughts with others. The activities for the workplace and community are ways you can witness to your own faith in the larger sphere of daily life. They may help you have more confidence sharing your faith beyond the comfort of home or church. As with all faith practices, giving testimony and witness require discipline. !
