That men and women don't have what it takes to take charge of life.

18 For this is what the LORD says
he who created the heavens,

he says:
"I am the LORD,
and there is no other.

natural witnessing

www.national ministeries.org  is the web site this chart came from. The website has some interesting comment.

This chart describing different personality types and the biblical context which depicts that style being exercised is helpful to both understand ones own natural and comfortable approach to witness but also the approach most relevant for the listener.

Phillip was obviously confident enough to step up to the chariot of the eunich and broach the subject of understanding the scriptures

Paul looked for  avenues to relate to the listeners  academically or intellectually using analysis of the scriptures and social context to break the ice.

Testamonial is powerful and most people can tell something of what Christ has done for them. The blind man speaks from his heart and convinced some of the Pharisees.

Given that we are asked to give our witness for Jesus, this  is the cornerstone of sharing the gospel.

The interpersonal is based on relationship. The value of hearing from someone known and respected.

The invitational however appeals more to being an agent for a proven tool. A powerful m ovie or book, a moving speaker, and Alpha course for example. The woman at the well was an outcast but was known by all, Her witness was very effective in bringing people to the well to hear Jesus regardless of what  people thought  of her.

Everyone respects someone with a servant nature. People who are selfless and do what they can to assist those in need. There is a close association between Jesus servant nature and this personality which should help to build bridges.
