Remind your child that Jesus told the disciples that they will be His witnesses. Share how being a witness for Jesus means that we tell others what we know to be true about Him. Tell your child that as we serve others, we can share the gospel in both word and deed. Discuss how we can witness confidently, knowing the Holy Spirit is with us and will help us.
