Yes, every one loves to hear story. It is a good way to begin a conversation or sermon. Jesus applied the same method. And He won the heart of the crowd. Praise God. God bless your ministry.

In there I find inspiration to tell my story, and because my story includes His story I know I am fulfilling my commission. Several years ago, in a class dealing with one-on-one witnessing, I was made to understand that I (all of us) have a story, and that is the simplest method of witnessing. It also occurred to me at that time that telling my story is all I can do. It is entirely up to God what He chooses to do at that point. I am merely to be the messenger. I possess no ability to save or redeem anyone. I am the sower but God gives the harvest. That has removed my apprehension about witnessing for Christ.
By the way, I know sometimes they shoot the messenger, but there is no fear in that. This earth is not my home. I’ll go home when God is ready for me and by whatever method He chooses or allows.
