		<description>Rather a stunning result, perhaps dependent on how participants perceived the questions. Much of Protestant evangelization is internal, aimed at church attendees, seemingly not with fully realized effects. 

I&#039;d venture that most Pentecostal attendees also don&#039;t feel the urgency to share our faith. Others fear it as a difficult process or formula rather than a lifestyle of sharing how God interacts in our daily lives. Why are we so hesitant, when people believe all kinds of crazy things and are not afraid to tell everyone about it? What would happen if we took a coworker&#039;s tale about a new kind of meditation, yoga, or Buddhist practice as our invitation to share how believers pray, read scripture, meditate, or otherwise exercise our faith?

Can such accessibility be taught, or does it have to be demonstrated by church leadership and &quot;caught?&quot;</description>
