A major commitment of World Methodist Evangelism is to multiply the number of faith-sharers of the Gospel around the world who have confidence and competence to witnessw to the name of Jesus Christ. This important book, of which more than 165,000 have been published in two-dozen languages around the world, has been one of the key ingredients in the training and commitment of thousands of witnesses around the globe. First published in 1991, Faith-Sharing was completely updated, revised and republished in 1999 and it continues to be the most important evangelism tool in the worldwide Wesleyan/Methodist tradition. Many believe that the Faith-Sharing initiative, launched by the World Methodist Council in 1996 and lifted up in this important text, is the key to why the Methodist Movement is growing at the rate of more than one million persons annually around the world.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT FAITH-SHARING... "I do not know two people more equipped for writing of this text. Theology is here, challenge is here, and concerne is here, "That the world may know Jesus Christ!" Maxie D. Dunnam, President, Asbury Theological Seminary. "One of the most encouraging signs of renewal in the contemporary church is the emergence of mature Christians who are able to gossip the good news about Christ without embarrassment or fear. Faith-Sharing is a text which has already proved its worth in this arena and deserves to be used again and again to rebuild this crucial ministry in the church at large." William J. Abraham, Albert Cook Outler Professor of Wesley Studies, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. "The writers provide us with a fresh and viable approach to Faith-Sharing. It is just what is needed for our Power Tools, Covenant Groups, and Discipleship 2000."
