For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 
Romans  1:16  (NKJV)

 "What do you believe about Jesus?"  Marilyn Kunz asked her high school English teacher one afternoon.  Using simple words, the Christian teacher, Vera Ehnbom, explained the gospel to Marilyn.  She accepted Christ and began attending the teacher's Sunday school class.


After college Marilyn and her friend, Kay Schell, saw the need for home Bible study and the two women started a neighborhood group.  They developed study guides, and in five years, two hundred groups were meeting in New York City suburbs to study the Bible.


From there, Neighborhood Bible Study spread across the country and around the world.  Eventually Marilyn and Kay's guides were translated into over thirty languages and dialects.  It began when one teacher unashamedly shared the truth about Jesus with a student.


Don't discuss the few words you may share about Christ with an unsaved person.  Because all of heaven's power stands behind your witness, the little you say has the potential to begin an avalanche of blessings.  It did for teacher Vera Ehnbom.  It will for you, also.
