testimony of faith and then how tosimply present the gospel using thetried and proven outline.You will begin by asking, “In your  personal opinion, what do you
understand it takes for a person to
get to Heaven and have eternal life?”If that person is interested, yes tellthem that F – stands for forgiveness;A – is for available and how God’sforgiveness is available for all; I – stands for impossible – we cannotget to Heaven on our own; T – is
for turn and how we are to turn inrepentance from sin and self and in
faith to Christ; H – is for HeavenSavior and Lord. Of course, there
is much more to learn, but it is so
simple to share the gospel.Sure, all of us are busy but if youhave “too many irons in the re,”you usually burn your ngers.Prioritize your time. God wants touse you in a far greater way than youhave ever imagined. You can investyour life in someone who in turn
can touch others in a chain reaction
of spiritual change. Don’t miss the
most important eternal blessing of leading someone to
 
Christ.Do you ever 
wonder aboutcertain aspects
of life? For 
instance, wedrive on a
 parkway, but park in a driveway! I don’t
understand Christians who claimto love the Lord and believe the
gospel, but are not ready and ableto share. There are some spiritualactivities that make a lot of sense.
We are urging all of our peopleto be willing to be trained in
the highly effective evangelism program called FAITH, whichlasts for 9 weeks this fall.
You are invitedto a special banquet to hear 
my good friend,Dr. Michael
Lewis, the pastor 
of the First Baptist Church of Plant City on August 30. Evenif you are undecided about the
 program, check us out and cometo the dinner and learn more
about it.
We are planning on our largestsemester attendance ever and begin training and visiting on
September 13th. Learners arestill needed for teams. You
do not have to be outgoing,knowledgeable, or experienced,
 but just be willing to learn.You will learn to share your 
F.A.I.T.H. Launch
 but also for howas we share howsomeone canknow that he is
going there by
trusting in JesusChrist as
