Nelson Searcy wrote The Difference Maker to reach more people for Christ!

The Difference Maker: Using Your Everday Life for Eternal Impact is a powerful tool to motivate and equip your people to share their faith.

This practical guide will teach your people to:

  • Know the power of their personal story and how God can use it to transform others.
  • Be ready to be used by God, no matter where they are.
  • Avoid feeling intimidated when discussing their faith.
  • Understand what it means to be a difference maker for Jesus right where He has placed them.

God has uniquely positioned you and your people to influence those around you for Him. He wants to partner with your people to change lives, both now and for eternity.
