This session looks at the uniqueness of our personalities and how evangelism fits with how God made us.

This series is written by Third Space Ministries, a charity which seeks to demonstrate the love of God in ‘third spaces’ – community spaces and leisure industries. https://thirdspaceministries.co.uk/

For the action at the end you will need to ensure that everyone in your group has access to the internet in order to access the Fusion Mission Styles survey https://missionstyles.org/ or that someone in the group can access it on their behalf.  This will be the focus of the discussion time. The survey is aimed at students but it can be helpful for people of all ages.

For people who do not have any access you can print out this document before the session for everyone in your group. https://in-him.com/styles-worksheet.pdf

Discuss any feedback from last week, especially with the ‘taking it further’ section.

Introduce this session by playing The Simpsons 2 minute video clip as a light-hearted way of showing that we all have our different styles of witnessing! (Ned Flanders approach is not one I would recommend!)

(The Simpsons Season 4, Episode 3, ‘Homer the Heretic’)

Group Action and Discussion

1. Ask each member of the group to complete the Fusion mission styles online survey www.missionstyles.org or the Evangelism Styles Questionnaire PDF document.
   
2. Get into small groups with those who are of a different style and discuss your experiences and learn from one another.
   
3. What is your main take away point from this session?  Is there anything you will put into action as a result?

Taking it Further:

1. Continue to spend time dwelling on God’s love
2. Continue to pray for your non-Christian friends daily
3. Do one thing this week to put into practice your evangelism style
