Empowered to Share the Gospel I was a little intimidated by joining a Gospel Advancing group. Not only was there a time commitment but also it felt daunting to have accountability with other Christian leaders about my own witness for Christ. As we encouraged one another by sharing our victories and failures, I realized I wasn’t a whole lot different than the others. More importantly, I truly needed this group. Having this regular accountability and following some of the principles we learned have empowered me to be more intentional in my prayer life and in sharing the Gospel with unbelievers than I think I’ve ever been. I have a long way to go, but I’ve come to really love and appreciate my Gospel Advancing group. I’m so thankful I accepted the invitation to join. – John, Youth Pastor in Virginia
