Preparation and practice are keys to your being relaxed. Even professional speakers get nervous and that's good. We can use that energy to speak with more passion and excitement.
We will focus in this session on your delivery. The coaches will help you more with content.

Remember that you are representing The Lord, in your speaking, your dress, your mannerisms, and how you interact with each other and those around you.
Most of communication is nonverbal. It's a privilege to be able to speak to others about what God is doing.

Remember that you are a career missionary to the least of these, but you may also be the first missionary that someone has met at church.

As you go to churches there will be those from other countries in church. Remember to not put any other culture down. We are all God's children and he loves us all the same.

Remember that your neighbors are always watching you. In fact, everyone you meet and see along your way, are watching (not including the NSA). Just kidding. We do know that God is watching and we need to have His interests at all times.

Remember that you/we belong to the living God, and you are a part of kingdom work. You never know who God may send your way to speak to. Listen to what God wants you to say. Sometimes people come to know the Lord thru you coming to their church.

You are part of an eternal endeavor, changing lives forever. You are privileged to reach those who may never have heard the Gospel except thru you. You are an extension to God's love. Remember to begin everyday and every meeting in prayer. Have others praying for you as well. We, in Ministry Partnership will be praying for you as well.

So, what should you pray? What do you think?

Pray that you can adapt to new situations. Who knows? You may end up on TV. We did.

Pray against distractions. Satan doesn't want you to pray. He doesn't want you to get to the field. But, remember, that God will use each experience for His glory.

Pray that you will have impact on those around you, and that God will give you the words to say.

Pray that you can connect with people in churches, and that their hearts will be open and receptive to your challenge.

Pray for increased faith on the audiences response. Pray that God will speak to them.

Pray that you will reflect a spirit of confidence, and be able to share the joy of the Lord. Be led by the Holy Spirit and speak truth.

Remember that this is about your message. This is not about you. Focus on the goal, to reach others for Christ and to tell them about what God is doing thru MAF.

We are not here to be pushy, or to make people listen. Jesus compelling them to listen to Him. We are not the mafia.

There are many messages out there. People have heard everything under the sun. Some people will love your message, and others will not know you exist. Be ready for anything.

We are held to a higher standard. Matthew 28: Go then to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And, I will be with you always, to the end of the age. Good News Translation
