As a Christian I want to share my faith with my co-workers. What is the best way to create opportunities?

Answer 1

First of all let me say to everyone who has answered this question that there is no law that says a person cannot speak about their faith.

We have in the first amendment freedom of speech.

Do not be discouraged my friend by all of the negative comments.
Pray for opportunities. If someones heart is open to talking about the gospel God will prompt you through the Holy Spirit.

Share your faith by the example of how you live. God draws men to Him. You can be a light that shines for Jesus in this dark world.

"But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed, And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts
always being ready to make defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." 1 Peter 3:14-15

Make these verses a model of what you want to achieve, use them in prayer and God will create the opportunities for you.

Keep your eyes on Jesus the Author and Perfecter of faith.

Answer 2

Your actions and attitude is the best way to show what kind of christian you are, that always will bring up opportunities for e. when you pray at lunch time; privately, they definitely will see you and may ask some questions like what its your religion or why do you pray to eat or something related to it, there will be an apportunittie don't u think. Try always to be brief because of the environment you're in, you don't want to make others feel uncomfortable. Have a Great Day!

Answer 3

Don't. You should keep your religion out of the workplace and maintane a professional environment. You may make your co-workers uncomfortable and, sad as it may be, you may be passed up for higher oppurtunities for flaunting your religious beliefs. As a Human Resources director I will tell you that you will not be viewed by your superiors in a professional light if you bring personal things such as religion into the workplace.

If you are asked by an interested co-worker, by all means share your beliefs with them but try not to let it become an argument. Always discuss with an open mind and no not judge. If you are not asked, don't share. I'm not saying your beliefs are something to be ashamed of, it's just unprofessional.

I agree that you should let your actions do the talking. Set a good example as a person and as a worker and perhaps people will take notice.

Answer 4

Don't you love how you ask an innocent question and people give you a hard time just because you are a christian?

I would let your actions do most of the talking. If you co-workers see you as someone who give 100% to your job and your attitude is right, then they will respect you and notice you are different. Creating opportunities could probably happen with offering to help people with their job or if they need a task done and you have the time. Just never forget how important your attitude and your effort you give to your job is. People will see that in you and respect you.

Answer 5

the first thing you need to do is make sure you are walking the walk at work. You will go a lot farther with people when they see, without words that you are loyal, trustworthy, honest, willing to go the extra mile, etc. You will wind up defeating your purpose ifyou justify any kind of behavior that is ungodly, including stealing a paper clip. Think about any areas hat need repentence and be humble enough to go to anyone that you may have offended and apologize.
On the job, the best witness is action. If you are able to build relationships where you are able to invite coworkers over for dinner or to hang out, etfc- this is the time and place to share your faith.
My husband invites coworkers and their families over for dinner or to go hunting or archery practice with him. He does not take this opportunity to pounce on them - but we do not change our routine we pray before our meals and we talk about what God has done in our lives- often this opens the doors for questions or conversation. A person is much more willing to listen to you and take seriously what you say when they feel they can trust you. If your walk contradicts your talk (and there will be some who will go out of their way to 'trip you up') then you will have a really hard time getting anyone to take you seriously.

Answer 6

You share your faith by living a joyous, generous, humble, grateful, forgiving, tolerant, courageous and trusting life. Every minute of everyday is an opportunity for that.

If you want to push your religion and try to convince people they will burn in eternal hellfire if they do not say a prayer, say they are a sinner, and accept Jesus into their hearts right now. I guess a tupperware party would be as good a place as any.

Religion is one thing, faith is another.

Which one do you feel is more likely to bring people to god?

Answer 7

Do it on breaks only,and only when you see an "open".Current events is all that is needed.Most people bring up an awful event and ponder the whys and wherefores.That is when you explain reality.Sometimes the Gospel won't come into the equation for months.Don't be concerned with time.The Faith is to be shared,not rammed down someone's throat.

Answer 8

Religion in the workplace is generally considered off-limits because it can quickly turn into a hostile atmosphere...even if that's not your intention. At most, I'd suggest displaying a small show of faith on your person or at your desk: a cross necklace, some bit of flair mentioning your faith, etc. If someone is interested, they will ask. But actively seeking opportunities tends to offend people.

Answer 9

I agree that sharing at work is not looked upon as acceptable, but I second the suggestion to have Christian things displayed in your cubicle or office. If someone is interested and asks, you can offer to chat with them outside of work, maybe at lunch or over coffee. That's always worked best when I was still working.

Answer 10

Most people prefer to see a seromon than to hear one. You just live like Jesus told you to and they will notice. Don't bring up your faith unless you are asked. Let God create opportunities.
