Ask the Lord to give you wisdom and guidance as you write.
Keep your testimony within a three-minute time limit· Consider your audience.
Communicate personally with the particular individual or group so they can identify with you.
Be realistic. Relate that as you walk in obedience, Christ enables you to live through your problems rather than removing them from your life.
What Not to Do:
Make statements that reflect negatively on any church organization or individuals.
Mention denominations or churches by name.
Speak in a preaching manner. Instead, keep to a normal, conversational tone.
Use vague terms such as joyful, peaceful, or changed without explaining them.
Also, avoid using religious terms such as saved, convicted, or sin without defining them. These words do not communicate to non-Christians.
Writing Style:
Begin with an attention-getting sentence or incident.
Be positive. Be accurate. Be specific–details arouse interest.
Use one or two Bible verses, but only where they relate directly to your experience. Explain the reference–for example, say, “One of Jesus’ disciples said…” rather than “1 John 5:11-13 says…”
Write a finished and logical conclusion.· Edit and rewrite as needed.· Rehearse your testimony until you can give it naturally.
