The Faith That Speaks: Understanding evangelism as authentic testimony and story.</li><li>4. Faith in Motion: Connecting evangelism to the vital ongoing process of discipleship and formation.</li><li>5. The Faith That Serves: Embodying the gospel through ministry and mission in the world.</li></ul><p>Each chapter concludes with discussion questions to encourage personal reflection and group study making this an ideal guide for strengthening the Lay Servant's calling in their daily life and ministry.</p>
