7 principles on how to share the Gospel

On Monday evening we went to the WMPL annual meeting and dinner. The speaker that evening talked about the difficulties in sharing the Gospel and gave us 7 principles on how to share.
1. God's love people should drive us to share the gospel.
2. Sharing the Gospel requires you to humble yourself and come alongside the people. (Many people see Christians as being hypocritical, insensitive and judgemental. They also see them as anti-people... anti-abortion, anti-gay/lesbian. But they do not see them as Jesus lovers).
3. Once you know the barriers, be willing to break through them to share the good news.
4. If you want to communicate the Gospel, you must speak the language of the people. (Not only their language, but in their terms so that they understand)
5. Sharing the Gospel at times means confronting people (Not speaking is not Biblical).
6. Sharing the Gospel must help others to see Jesus.
7. Be available for follow-up, but do not overstay your welcome and impose yourself upon the others.
