What
Event / challenge / problem / personal background details
Example: “A couple from our church met Maria during an outreach and engaged in conversation with her. They learned that she grew up in the Catholic church and was struggling to know whether God actually forgave her for her sins.”
Why
Reason / motive and emotions / feelings
Example: “This fear made her constantly worry about pleasing God with her actions and earning His love and forgiveness. She felt no joy in life and was scared about dying. As they were talking to Maria, tears came to her eyes, and she was very emotional.”
How
How was the gospel shared with the person(s) in your story? If a Scripture was given, let us know.
Example: “So the couple expressed the grace of Jesus and explained how His actions on the cross was enough to forgive her sins. She didn't need to earn her salvation, but just confess her sins and accept the free gift of salvation. They gave her a Esperanza magazine and pointed out some of the verses that she could read to help her understand it more for herself.”
Conclusion
Tell us what change you saw the gospel make in the person(s) life that day.
Example: “When they asked Maria if she would like to accept this free gift of salvation, she said yes. So, with tears streaming down her face, she prayed to commit her life to Jesus and begin a new life. Before leaving her, they showed her on the magazine where the church's address was and invited her to come next Sunday. She said she would do that, and she thanked them for talking to her.”
