Writing a Christian testimony is a meaningful way to share the story of your personal journey with God. It’s not a requirement found in Scripture, but it is a useful tool that can help you communicate your faith to others, whether during evangelism, a public baptism, or simply sharing your testimony with friends and family. By writing your testimony, you can reflect on your spiritual journey and how Christ has transformed your life. This exercise can also encourage new believers, giving them confidence in sharing their faith story.

Below is a practical guide for writing your personal testimony. Once you complete it in English, review it with a Bible teacher for clarity. Afterward, translate it into your native language and create a document with two columns, one for each language. Be sure to include your first name, the date, and the year. You can use this document to help you share your personal faith story with others or for your own memorization.
