How I Heard About Jesus For several years each issue of Fellowship Focus has featured a story of how someone found an opportunity to share the Gospel. Now we would like to expand that to include stories of how people heard about Jesus. How did you hear about Jesus and God’s offer of salvation?


From your parents? From a co-worker? Tell us what factors led you to trust God (in about 400-500 words). Send your stories to fellowshipfocus@febcministries.org. If you have heard someone’s story, ask them to write it up for us. We will be glad to work with you to help you write your story. And yes, we will continue to use stories about how you found an opportunity to share the Gospel. So send those in, too.
