If new believers are not comfortable with this, we can also use the following prayer:
Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner and unworthy to be in Your presence. I do believe, however, that Jesus died on the cross, shedding His blood for my sin in my place and rose again from the dead. I accept Christ’s payment for my sin. Thank You for Your forgiveness and that I will know You better forever. Thank You for preparing a place for me to be with You in Heaven after this life. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. After completing the sinner’s prayer, we should follow up with more questions that lead new believers to explain, in their own words, they now trust Christ and why they now believe that Heaven is their ultimate destination. If their hope is Biblically based, we should rejoice with them and share what the Word has to say about the life and destiny of those who truly believe. We can then obtain their contact information and refer them to a Bible-based church so they can continue in their spiritual growth. As they grow more deeply in their faith, it will be important for them to explore subjects like baptism, prayer, Bible study, obedience, faith, worship, service and more. As this growth takes place in new believers, we will see them developing their own hearts for evangelism and beginning to go out to win even more souls for the Savior as they strive to glorify God!
Appendix Just Walk Across the Room by Bill Hybels is an excellent resource for more information on evangelism.
