Life Story

A life story is a testimony. It is suggested that this be “interview” style on video if possible. (it is always nice to be able to get the “nugget” of the person’s story and keep with-in the time frame) A person with a compelling testimony is to be asked three basic questions by Pastor or Pastor’s Associate:

PERSONAL information (Name, hobbies, career)
Life before having a relationship with Christ
Life since making a decision to follow Christ
