This workshop is designed to help believers practice expressing their faith in a safe environment, with other Christians, who are just as reluctant to put into spoken words what I believe in my heart, what guides my daily living and gives me joy in the morning and peace in the evening. Through the use of case studies that can become texts for role-playing, we can begin to think ourselves into the world of those whom the Lord sends near enough for us to touch with our conversation. Such case-study discussions among Christians, and especially taking the roles and acting out the person of either the witness or the one outside the faith, can loosen up our witnessing muscles and get them in shape.
