Does anyone know of a good online course in witnessing? I want to know what
I'm doing before I go out and, though well-intentioned, drive someone away
from the gospel by not knowing what I am doing.

your small or large world). The biggest complement for me to get is to have
people I barely know, Know that I am a Christian, maybe by the different way
I speak to, and about, people and things. Maybe they have watched me read
my bible or scripture during my private, slow moments at work. I don't
