I stumbled upon this blog from Pulpit Magazine: The Online Magazine of the Shepherds’ Fellowship, using technorati.com, which tags particular topics to search blogs across the globe.
This article gives some great practical advice on being a witness and sharing your faith. I hope it encourages you on your journey.

Let's keep fighting the good fight of faith, fixing our eyes on Jesus, demonstrating compassion for the lost, and sharing Christ in God's Power.

What team are you on???
This is a new ministry I ran across that I hope encourages anyone that wants to become more equipped to share their faith:

"Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold. I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."
John 4:35
We have all been called to the harvest. Our commission is to "Go..." Too often we sit back and wait for the lost to come to us when it is our duty to reach out to them. Jesus said "...go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that My house may be filled." What Jesus did not say was "invite sinners to church and wait for the pastor to share the Gospel with them."
Although this is quite a heavy topic and offends people within the church building, we must listen to the infallible words of Scripture. Jesus told us that "the harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few, therefore pray for the Lord of the harvest." Why would Jesus tell us that the laborers are few if every Believer was fulfilling the Great Commission?
With over 6 billion people in the world, less than 16 %* are considered to be Christian. Never has the harvest been so plenteous and the laborers so few. According to an Evangelical magazine, only 2% of what we commonly call "Evangelical" Christians actively share their faith. Nearly 2000 years ago
