Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Today, I want to share with you an incredible story from New Zealand! Raj and Joyce unexpectedly encountered two high school students at a local mall. After striking up a conversation, they asked them spiritual questions, and both girls accepted Jesus after hearing the Gospel! And as the conversation continued, they dis...

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone’s in Christ, he is a new creation…” And this is exactly what happened in Sam’s life. But, really, the story starts a Christian named Pete in Australia. Pete received a text from his pastor’s wife asking if he would speak with an ex-inmate facing difficult challenges in his ...

How far are we willing to go for the Gospel? Well, I know that it can sometimes feel impossible to even broach the topic of spiritual things with others; but truthfully, it is easier than we think. God provides opportunities for us to share, whether He brings the person to us or asks us to step out in faith and find the...

I’m excited this week to continue telling you more about what God is doing around the globe. And Oceania is our spotlight!

In Matthew 9, Jesus says, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” It’s easy to get caught up in church programs and forget—we’re also called to go out. Pastor Manat from Indonesia shared how many churches—including ...

Being a follower of Jesus means being a lifelong learner—continually growing, being discipled, and equipping others to do the same. Our sanctification—becoming more and more like Jesus—doesn’t stop after one lesson or one experience; it’s our daily commitment to grow deeper in our faith by reading the Bible, praying, wo...

What if one day off could lead to a lifetime of impact? In Timor Leste, a group of pastors and children’s leaders decided to spend their free day not on rest—but on mission. These faithful Indonesian leaders chose to be equipped through a Hope For Kids training through our ministry, which is a children’s evangelism disc...

Why is it so important to be equipped to share our faith? Because the opportunity to lead someone to Christ can come when we least expect it—and we need to be ready. Gan Shuo from Malaysia joined a Hope for Kids workshop just to support the Sunday School ministry. But through that training, God gave Gan a new burden: to...

This summer, we’re hearing stories from around the world, and this week, Asia is our spotlight continent! And even though Asia has a land mass of almost thirty percent of the Earth, they have 60% of the world's population. They are very diverse having 44% of the world's people groups with very different cultures and lan...

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I’ll hear from heaven, and I’ll forgive their sin and will heal their land." This promise from God found in 2 Chronicles gives us such hope—even in a time where hope is scarce in our country. ...

Things change when a community comes together. We see this time and time again in our neighborhoods, cities, and country. And this very same principle applies to telling others about Jesus. We’re stronger together. In Namibia, Africa, this is happening all across the country. But I'd love to share with you an example of...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

I met a pastor a few years ago who told me that evangelism doesn’t work anymore. He told me you can’t go and talk to people because the culture doesn’t approve. Do you know where this pastor was from? The African nation of Zambia. Unfortunately, that is a common statement we often hear around the world. However, I asked...

The Gospel changes everything. Can I get an amen?! In our day and age, what's happening in our country and culture makes things look very bleak. But there is truth that we as Christians believe...the Gospel changes people from the inside out. And when people are changed, communities change. When communities change, citi...

We should all want hope in our country. But you know what? We'll never have hope in our country until we have hope in our cities. And we'll never have hope in our cities until we have hope on our streets. We'll never have hope on our streets until we have hope in our homes. And we'll never have hope in our homes until w...

What’s more valuable than worldly success? In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asked, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet [lose] their soul?” Well, we know, it’s Jesus that is the greatest treasure a person can attain. And that’s the heart behind what’s happening in Vienna, Virginia, where a local churc...

Have you ever felt unprepared to share your faith—but knew the Holy Spirit was prompting you to speak up anyway? That’s exactly what happened to one of our new trainees in Jamaica. After just the first day of evangelism training, she went home and began talking with a colleague. All she had learned so far were the two d...

Sometimes, the most powerful Gospel conversations happen in the most unexpected places. In Trinidad, during an evangelism discipleship training, Darren and his trainer approached a group of men hanging out, drinking, and listening to loud music. But off to the side, one man named Wallen sat alone. His car was being repa...

Has fear ever held you back from sharing your faith—even when you knew God was prompting you? Elizabeth felt exactly the same. Before receiving evangelism training, Elizabeth had the desire to share the Gospel—but fear often held her back. Like many of us, she second-guessed approaching strangers, unsure how to begin. B...

Over the course of the summer, we will be sharing with you some stories, thoughts, and encouragements from our staff on each continent around the globe. This week, we will be sharing testimonies from North America! I have heard many wary Christians doubt whether anyone is open to the Gospel here in the United States. We...
