A pastor who pioneered a church into a large congregation pointed to testimony as one of the reasons for the church's growth. As the church grew and the number of church members increased on Sundays, there was a need to finish the service in a short time, which led to the elimination of testimony time, resulting in a decrease in inspiration and grace during Sunday worship.
Testimony is one way to glorify God. It actively engages the congregation in worship and indirectly allows them to experience grace. Testimonies that involve self-elevation or boasting are not helpful and should be avoided. However, testimonies of salvation, ministry, and life contribute to enriching worship.
Types of testimonies given in Sunday worship include testimonies of salvation, ministry, evangelism, completion of life Bible studies, and life testimonies. At ANW, testimonies are shared every week under the name of "My Story" via a roster of house churches.
Testimonies that are helpful in Sunday worship should not be too long. The recommended testimony time is 7 minutes (approximately 2.5 A4 pages). On KBS's long-running program "Morning Yard," there was a segment called "Listen to My Story," where participants were given 7 minutes to share their life stories, and the most touching or entertaining story would receive an award. Even though 7 minutes may seem short, participants vividly depicted their lives, entertaining and moving viewers alike. Those preparing testimonies should carefully manage their time and preparation.
Start your testimony brightly and focus on recent experiences rather than old tales. For salvation testimonies, it helps to vividly describe specific examples of living in sin or the process of accepting Jesus, which can assist those who have not yet accepted Jesus. Ministry or life Bible study testimonies benefit from summarizing two to three realisations or decisions made through ministry or life Bible study, rather than listing or explaining what was learned. When delivering a testimony at the podium, avoid using small screens like smartphones for reading; instead, print your manuscript or use a large tablet and read from it while delivering your testimony.
