Share your style

On Wednesday night, the Jr. High youth took a test to learn their particular style for sharing the Gospel. The four areas include the talker (uses creative and funny ways to present their message.), the buddy (a "true friend" that builds strong relationship to share), the brain (uses logic and organization to present a strong case for Christ.), and the stalker (uses direct, bold, and blunt methods of winning others to Christ).

Which word describes you most?
A. Funny
B. Bold
C. Caring
D. Logical
Sometimes I tend to…
A. Joke around too much.
B. Hurt people’s feelings with my directness.
C. Worry about what other people think of me.
D. Get frustrated with others who don’t “get it” when it comes to thought problems and mental images.
Your friends would probably describe you as...
A. The life of the party.
B. The leader of the pack.
C. A friend who really listens.
D. The smart kid.
I tend to get in trouble for…
A. Too much joking.
B. Being to blunt.
C. Not much.
D. Arguing.
How would you bring up the Gospel with total strangers?
A. Get them laughing, get them talking, and then switch gears to Jesus naturally.
B. Ask them if they know for sure they are going to heaven when they die.
C. Try to talk to them and wait to see if they want to talk at all.
D. Ask them questions about who they think Jesus was and if they are open to proof that He was the Son of God.

If you scored mostly...
A's: you are talker.
B's: you are a stalker
C's: you are a buddy
D's: you are a brain

After taking the test, I found myself to be a "stalker". That is not necessarily my personality, but it is how I share the Gospel with others.

These styles are not hard pressed, you may find yourself a mixture of them. Jesus is the perfect example of a mixture of all of them. Strive to do the same.
Serving Christ,
Graham

I found myself mixed between a buddy and a brain.

Logan says he's a buddy.
I don't think that's really a surprise to anyone, now is it?
