The Word on the Street is a tool for sharing the gospel using Scripture. We know that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10.17), so this is a means of getting the word of God before people.
As you share, talk to the person and find out where they are… do they claim to be a Christian? do they think their good works will get them to Heaven? are they feeling broken? Choose the appropriate story, then let the person read the passage and ask them the three exploratory questions.
There are 7 sets, each designed to start where the person is. Included in each set are a hard copy version for printing cards (3 per page), and a mobile image version that can easily be displayed or distributed with your device.
