• Nurture personal and spiritual friendships. Friendship is the original model of evangelization; it
establishes mutual trust and respect.
• Participate regularly in the spiritual and sacramental life of the Catholic faith community.
• Pray for God's people, and in particular for the people Jesus is trying tor each this day. Make
evangelization a part of your prayer at every Mass.
• Become more aware of your own story. As part of your daily or weekly Examen, identify the ways in
which God is working day-by-day in your life. Remember and be grateful for the extraordinary ways
in which God has been present in your life.
• Share your story. Depite how ordinary you think it is, people will relate to your journey and be
inspired by it if you share it in an appropriate way at the appropriate time. Keep in mind that while
details are interesting, what is important is how your experience has changed your life.
• Attend the Catholic Witness Hour regularly. Hearing others share their faith helps us recognize how
God is working in our own lives. But remember that every person's story is unique; God works in
different ways in different people. Your story may be similar to those you hear at the Witness Hour
or it may be very different -- it is your story.
• Volunteer to get involved in Catholic Evangelization Ministry. We need volunteers in each parish to
help plan and implement the Witness Hour.
