Discovering, Naming and Telling Your Faith Story
Andre Lesperance
Personal stories of experiencing the living God have always been among the most compelling and effective means of evangelization. This is true, perhaps more than ever, in today’s world; “People today put more trust in witnesses than in teachers, in experience than in teaching, and in life and action than in theories,” (John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio 42).
In this practical workshop you will discover aspects of your own faith story that are easy to tell in brief, natural ways—and you’ll get some practice doing so! You’ll also reflect upon the opportunities in your daily life to share your stories of faith, and how to draw out the stories of others.
Every baptized believer has a story of faith—an incomplete story that continues to unfold every day. Whether your life has seen dramatic conversions, seasons of slow growth, or confusing twists and turns, someone needs to hear your story of faith.
