GSR Family: Here are some steps to get started with sharing your gifts and testimony in meaningful ways: It's TIME TO BE:

1. Identify Your Gifts and Passions Reflect on what brings you joy and comes naturally to you. Is it speaking, writing, teaching, creating, encouraging, or something else? Think about the talents or skills people have recognized in you. Sometimes, others see our strengths more clearly than we do ourselves!

2. Share Your Testimony with Clarity and Humility Your testimony is unique. Write it out to gain clarity on your journey, focusing on key moments and insights. Consider breaking it down into smaller parts to share over time, whether in conversations, online, or in a small group setting. Highlight how your faith has impacted your life, focusing on the transformation and what you learned, rather than just the events.

3. Find Your Platform Social Media: If you’re comfortable online, sharing parts of your story or reflections in posts or videos can reach a broad audience. Community Groups or Church Ministries: Local groups often provide support and encouragement as you share. Volunteering, speaking, or leading a workshop are great ways to offer your gifts. Creative Outlets: If you're artistically inclined, consider using art, music, or writing as a way to express your journey.

4. Consider How Your Testimony Can Help Others Think about what others might be going through and how your story could inspire or comfort them. Tailor your message to the needs of the people you’re speaking to, so they can relate and feel the impact of your journey.

​5. Take Small Steps and Be Consistent You don’t have to share everything at once; even a small, authentic step can be powerful. Regularly sharing bits of encouragement, gratitude, or insights can build connection and trust over time.
