I chose personal testimony, but in doing so I do not mean my life story. I mean that in those 8 hours I would testify (read proclaim) the gospel using the Bible, depending upon the Holy Spirit to equip me and enable me to recall what I have learned from His Word in answering the questions that the non-believer asks. I would welcome the person to my own home, and not meet in a public place. I would also prepare and serve a meal or two, allowing the person to talk freely and I would listen very carefully. Since time has been purposely set apart in order for someone to inquire about the faith, I would simply summarize the Gospel and then field questions. In other words, I would treat the person as a guest, not a project.

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
