Easter is an open door to engage with the people around you, often resulting in giving a book or even guiding a study. This next month may hold opportunities for you to share the gospel with your boss\u2026 or your brother\u2026 or the neighbour who has gone through cancer this year\u2026 or the jogger who passes you every day on your morning walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are four simple ideas to share the gospel this Easter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Giveaways<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Have a stash of booklets ready in your car or bag, ready for the moment of opportunity. It may start with something as simple as a question to your cashier after you casually discuss the Easter egg display behind her: \u201cHave you ever wondered about the real significance behind Easter?\u201d Here is a good time to offer a booklet like What are Christmas and Easter All About?<\/em> <\/a>or The Story that Matters<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Special gifts<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Present a copy of The Lamb<\/a><\/em> as a special Easter gift to a family with children. Or you could give it to a child you care for, and then offer to read it to him or her as part of the daily routine during the weeks before and after Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Workplace displays<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There is also the option of having a stack of What are Christmas and Easter All About?<\/em> in the reception area or waiting room of your business. Offer them free of charge to customers. You may also consider making it into a display, with a banner \u201cWhat is Easter about?\u201d above the attractively arranged stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Church initiatives<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Churches often take advantage of this time of year to share the gospel, whether it is handing out booklets, putting on dramas based on The Lamb<\/em> or The Story that Matters<\/em>, offering Worldview Rethink studies<\/a> or reading The Lamb<\/em> at children’s times during Sunday morning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Easter egg hunts can also easily include booklets with the chocolates. One church handed out hundreds of copies of What are Christmas and Easter All About?<\/em> at an Easter parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
