Witnessing
Bearing testimony to what God has done, especially through Christ. Acts 1:8 defines the apostolic mission: 'You will be my witnesses.' The Greek word martys (witness) implies personal experience and testimony. Peter declared, 'We are witnesses of everything he did' (Acts 10:39). Paul shared his conversion story repeatedly (Acts 22, 26). First Peter 3:15 instructs every believer to 'be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.' John wrote 'so that you also may have fellowship with us' (1 John 1:3). Witnessing is not a technique but an overflow — sharing from personal experience what God has done.
