Share Life Today

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

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...

When we learn to share the Gospel, we become part of something eternal. This past September, Samuel walked into our ministry’s offices in Uganda. Homeless, jobless, and abandoned, he’d spent nights on the streets of Kampala, desperate and hopeless. He told us, “I thought about ending my life so many times…I just needed ...

When we ask God for opportunities to share the Gospel, He answers—and sometimes in ways we don’t expect. One evening this past September, a young man in Kenya who learned to share his faith felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak with two young men from a nearby village. He had recently been to one of our evangelism t...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. Last August, in Kasungu, Malawi, a young girl was moments away from taking her own life. But God had another plan. Evance, who had learned to share his faith, heard about her situation and went to her home. While others were trying ...

Why is it so important to share the Gospel? Well, because right now, someone is praying for the truth. Daniel was one of them. He cried out to God, “Reveal Yourself to me—for my salvation and for my personal growth.” And that very same day, Japhet—one of our EE trainees from Nairobi, who had just learned to share the Go...

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

This summer, we’re spotlighting what God is doing around the world; and this week, we’re hearing stories from Africa. And let me tell you...there are exciting things happening on this continent. Just this past year through evangelism training events, we saw over twenty million people make professions of faith in Jesus. ...

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

As we conclude this week talking about the church globally and how we’re called to go to the nations, I wanted to share a testimony with you from a challenging part of the world. Made up of the former Soviet Union and most of the Middle East, Central Asia is a region where persecution happens almost every day to Christ-...

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

In His famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heave...

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

The auditorium was packed. As I stopped and looked around, I heard dozens of languages being spoken at the same time. We all settled into our seats as our time together was called to order. This was Evangelism Explosion's third Congress of Nations, and eighty-three different countries were represented. During that morni...

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

In the book of Ephesians, we read, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." So let us not neglect praying for our brothers and sisters all around the world. They’re fighting for their faith on their...

"Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Have you ever heard this famous Biblical passage before? You know, it's called the Great Commission, and it's Christ's final command...

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

Do you realize that God has given you a story to tell?  We often refer to it as a testimony but I prefer to call it “your story.” If you have trusted in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, your story of how God saved you and changed you counts.  I hope that’s obvious to you.  But as I travel the world, I’m often amaze...

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

"Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” Now, I've heard this famous quote over the years, and frankly it's silly if you think about it. In fact, I've seen this not work in my own life. When I lived in Nebraska, I had a neighbor I was good friends with. I did all sort of nice things for him, hoping h...

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

The Holy Spirit is softening and drawing hearts to Himself each and every day. And we can be a part of His work. One of the very best ways to join the Holy Spirit is by praying for what we like to call “Divine Appointments.” I can’t tell you how many times He has led me a person who was waiting for someone to share the ...
