This is what early Christians believed and how they saw their role in fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations-and it changed the world.
What if we understood that simply doing a good job at work can turn on the light for coworkers “so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16)?. What if we knew we didn’t have to be perfect and say just the right things-that it was God’s work to draw people to himself that “no one can come to me unless drawn by the Father” (John 6:44)?. What if even in brief interactions and casual mentions of our faith, we knew the Holy Spirit was at work in the hearts and minds of people to “prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8)?. What if we were confident in Christ’s presence-that he is with us always and everywhere, in every situation (Matthew 28:20)?.

You might feel a bit intimidated by hostile attitudes toward Christianity held by some coworkers. You might feel like broaching spiritual conversations is inappropriate for the workplace-or that’s what you’ve been told. You might feel unprepared to answer the questions you fear colleagues will throw at you. This might be true of you-and for a lot of understandable reasons. Success in evangelism is consistently taking the initiative, using the gifts and opportunities God gives us, to help individuals move one step closer to Christ. To help these individuals take one step closer to Godīecoming the unique reflection of the image of ChristĪs the resurrected, glorified persons God intended. The organic process of intentionally engaging Although it is thrilling to be part of someone’s journey to faith, broaching a spiritual conversation with colleagues at work can arouse no small amount of angst.
