Shortly after I became a Christian as a teenage boy, my home church had a special week of study of the book Every Christian’s Job by C. E. Matthews. The thesis of the study was that every Christian should be a witness, an evangelist, and a missionary for Jesus Christ. Being a new Christian, I believed that I should do everything that Jesus told me to do. Since I had not grown up in a Christian home and since I had no opportunity to observe Christians in the church, I didn’t know any better than to believe that. Whatever Jesus said, I thought I was supposed to do. So I started trying to share my faith at my home, with my classmates at school, and on the job.
