We continue our reading on the book of Acts.
What is an evangelist?
Has an evangelist ever come to your town or church? Billy Graham is probably the most famous evangelist in the world.
An evangelist is someone who preaches the good news (gospel) about Jesus and invites people to become Christians - like Peter on the day of Pentecost.
READ
Acts 2: 37-47
Peter's sermon had a big effect on people and they wanted to know what to do about it. So Peter prompted by the Holy Spirit told them. Look at verse 38 to see if you can remember what he said.
1. Turn ........................................
2. Be b .........................................
3. Your sins ......................................
4. You will r ..............................................
If somebody asks "How do I become a Christian?" Peter's four points would be a good summary to remember.
We're not all evangelists. But we can all take opportunities when people ask us about Jesus.
PRAY
. . . for friends you would like to lead to Christ. Invite them for the Ignyte camp 13-15th December. Don't miss this opportunity!

Whether we say just the right thing or can't think of anything that seems right, all we have to do is open our mouths and trust God to use us. We are the instruments, but God is the One who makes the music through us.
Have you tried to explain a spiritual principle to someone lately and sounded only sour notes? Have you been stymied about how to make clear that thing that seems so obvious to you?
Remembering the difference between your role and God's role can help to comfort you if you've blown it. It may even give you the push you need to increase your knowledge so you can "sound off" more eloquently next time.
Allow the joy of being used by God to motivate you. He will make music through you!!
Be blessed and take the lead.
