Lesson Introduction: The Power of Motivation in Evangelism

Opening Scenario

Imagine you are attending a community event, and a friend approaches you with excitement, sharing the transformative impact of their faith on their life. They glow with enthusiasm, recounting how their beliefs have guided their decisions, shaped their relationships, and provided peace during challenging times. As you listen, you feel drawn into their story, curious about how their motivation has led them to become an advocate for their beliefs.

Discussion Prompt

Before we dive into the lesson, let’s take a moment to reflect on the following questions:

• What motivates you personally in your own faith journey?
• Can you think of a time when someone’s genuine passion for their beliefs inspired you?

Group Activity: Sharing Experiences

After a brief period of individual reflection, we will break into small groups. Each group will share one personal experience related to the discussion prompt. The goal is to identify common themes related to motivation and evangelism.

Instructions:

1. Form groups of 3–4 participants.
2. Each member will take 2–3 minutes to share their experience.
3. As a group, discuss key motivations that emerged from your stories.
