MOVING FORWARD

Pair up into groups of two or three and take a few minutes to practice sharing the Bridge Diagram. If they want help, they can find the script here: https://www.sagebrush.church/onelife/New_Bridge_Diagram_Script_BJ.pdf. After everyone has finished practicing, come back together and pray for the people in your life who do not know Christ. Pray also for boldness to share your faith with them.
