One of the best ways of sharing your CHRISTIAN testimony is with the intent to use your experience to draw the unsaved to CHRIST. It is also one of the easiest ways God is using us to save souls. Jn 4:4 the story of the Samaritan woman at the well is a vivid example. She just told the story of her encounter with Jesus and virtually the whole village ended up believing Jesus. It is essentially different from preaching and highly appealing to any one who might be in the same situation you were before you encountered Jesus. Apart from that, if your intention to share is pure, the Holy Spirit always empowers your testimony to save souls.Sharing our CHRISTIAN testimony is one of the ways the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship draws men unto God by mere telling of stories of our lives.

This is a very relevant question. One of the Christian evangelistic organizations that I was in, whether it was Campus Crusade for Christ, now CRU, or whether it was Young Life, I forgot (I'm 75 now), trained us to share our testimony of "Before-During-After" or before I received Christ, I was like this. During the encounter with Christ means how I received Christ. And after I received Christ I am now different in the following ways... Always pray before you give your testimony. Afterwards, thank God for the way/s that He worked through you. This was CCC's method (Campus Crusade for Christ) when they took us around to different churches to share our testimony (about 5 of us).
