Good testimony for God.

You shall be witnesses to Me...to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

Missionary Keith Gustafson was found to leave the Congo [by] the civil war that erupted in 1997. He reported that, as the fighting spread, people in [his] remote area...knew that soldiers were approaching because of [drum messages]...that warned of danger. The drums...are also used to alert the tribes when there's been a death,...a birth or to call a meeting. They serve as a general news alert; a messenger follows up with additional information.

We have the opportunity to deliver a news alert to the people with whom we come in contact every day. Our manner of speech and our moral standards can help prepare the way to share the gospel.
