STEP 3 - SHARING THE GOSPEL - CHAPTER 21
3 CIRCLES GOSPEL METHOD
Christians share their faith by including a tool called three circles Gospel presentation. This method provides a way of utilizing everyday conversations about BROKENNESS (what is going on in the world) into regular conversations about Christ. The "3 Circles Method" aims to equip Christians to share their faith with non-Christians. It is an excellent way to start sharing. Every Christian should know how to share their faith in this simple, eye-catching way.
Use one of these three different examples of how to draw the 3 circles.
First Diagram below is for those that are not very artistic, like me. It is easy to do, and as we go through this study guide, you can customize it to your presentation.
The Second Diagram is more for the artistic, precise person good at drawing stick people, etc.
The Third Diagram shows three circles with different applications you can apply.
Use one of the three diagrams or customize one using a combination of any of the different methods below. You can add scripture verses also.
If you are like many people, they ask where I can start in sharing my faith. The 3 circles method is straightforward; anyone can quickly learn it and have fun with it. You can give a short Gospel presentation in less than 3 minutes with good results. The 3 circles are very easy to train others to use with confidence also.

3 CIRCLES GOSPEL PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW OF THE 3 CIRCLES
This tool encourages Christians to share the Gospel using three simple circles.
1st Circle: BROKENNESS as in Simplest Method 1 and more Detailed Method 3 below starts with the first circle BROKENNESS, then the second circle GOD'S DESIGN, and the third circle JESUS (GOSPEL) circle. The reason for using the BROKENNESS circle first is that people cannot argue about the world being broken for a starting point. Instead, if you started with GOD'S DESIGN (PLAN) for us, they might have a different perspective about God that starts the conversation in a debate.
Using the 1st circle: GOD'S DESIGN (PLAN) first as in the Point-By-Point Method 2 starts with the first circle GOD'S DESIGN (PLAN), the second circle is BROKENNESS, and the third circle JESUS (GOSPEL.) The reason for using GOD'S DESIGN (PLAN) first is you are starting a genuine positive presentation about how God loves them.
Encourage you to pray about what circle you use first. If you are in doubt, start with BROKENNESS as the first circle. With these options, you can always be flexible in your presentation. I have learned over the years that you cannot put God in a specific box or method. We have the best spiritual experiences when we are open to change and trust the Lord to work outside the box, not our program and ways. That is when miracles happen in changing lives for God. I call them "GOD MOMENTS." EXPECT GREAT THINGS TO HAPPEN!!
Pause, Think, Consider, and Reflect on the above!
The three-circle method demonstrates how accepting and submitting to Jesus will grow and develop faith and guide you to God's perfect design. Drawing and illustrating the "Three Circles" is something that people easily and quickly understand. All you require is a pen, paper, or a small pad, or a napkin. This method provides a fun and fast answers to general questions of faith.
Below we will present three different methods of sharing using the 3 Circle Method. Each one has different ways to do the 3 Circles methods.
Would you please pick one or a combination of each method that is best suited for you.
#1 is the simplest method of sharing the 3 Circle Method. Easy for a younger person to learn.
#2 is a point-to-point method of sharing the 3 Circle Method. Highly Recommend if you are new to sharing the Gospel message.
#3 is a more detailed and excellent method of sharing the 3 Circle Method.
#4 is additional information to add to your presentation if needed.

#1 Drawing the BROKENNESS Circle First.
3 CIRCLES SHARING PRESENTATION
(The Simplest Method #17)
1. Draw a circle for "BROKENNESS" this represents a broken world - show squiggly arrows like a bungee cord seeking to get out of brokenness but always being dragged back in. These bungee cord attempts out can be using drugs or alcohol, murder, disease, chasing after wealth, addiction to career, sports, etc. But these attempts out always bounce back to brokenness.
2. Draw a circle for "GOD'S DESIGN" - representing God's perfect design - a world complete with LOVE without BROKENESS as in diagram.
3. Draw an arrow from "GOD'S DESIGN" to "BROKENNESS" write "SIN" by the line. Say sin separates us from God's perfect design as you put your hand over God's Design circle to say that you cannot be in God's plan; it throws you into brokenness. Important to emphasize by saying: Sin is anything from lying to murder. Everyone sins!
4. Draw a circle for the "GOSPEL." JESUS is the center of Salvation. He is the only way to be in God's perfect design. Jesus paid the price with His perfect sacrifice on the cross. (As diagram.)
5. Draw an arrow to "GOSPEL" from the BROKENNESS circle.
Write below the arrow"REPENT & BELIEVE." Say this is our response to get out of brokenness. In repenting (turning), one makes a total change of direction (180° turn) towards God. ANYONE can CHOOSE to TURN and BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST!
6. Draw an arrow to "GOD'S DESIGN" write below the arrow "RECOVERED & PURSUE." Say we are made a new creation and restored into a relationship with Him. We Are Made Brand New! There are only two types of people in this world. People that are in brokenness or those restored into a perfect relationship with God.
Ask the below Questions?
Where are you? (Pay attention to their response.)
Now, where would you like to be? (Listen carefully to their answer.)
Is there anything stopping you from turning (repentance) and believing in Jesus?
Always give them an opportunity to respond to accept and follow Jesus? If they say yes, help lead them in the sinner's prayer. If they say no, ask if you can meet again by person, phone, chat, or email.

#2 Drawing GOD'S PLAN Circle First.
3 CIRCLES METHOD
(Point-By-Point Method #18)
Left Click on any Picture to Enlarge.
Our goal is to teach any Christians, young or old, to draw the 3 circles. Do each circle following the steps below, drawing as you go along. You will need paper/notepad, pen, or pencil.
First, ask the question:
Do you consider yourself far from God or near to God?
(It is critical to genuinely listen and understand their story!)
After listening to their story, ask this question:
Can I show you a picture that changed my life and helped me become near to God?
If they say yes: Pull out a notepad/notecard/piece of paper or use a napkin.
Start drawing the 3 Circles with a pen or pencil.
Below is how to do the circles and arrows used in this 3 Circles Method.
Draw the 1st Circle as in the diagram.
Write GOD'S PLAN on top of the circle.
Draw a heart inside the circle.
Say (Suggestion): In the beginning, God created a perfect world for us. We were and are created and designed to worship and walk with God. God loved us, and we had the ability to love Him.
Draw a arrow from the 1st circle as in the diagram.
Write SIN on top of the arrow as in the diagram.
(Covering GOD'S PLAN with your hand.) Say: Each of us has chosen to go away from God's Plan because of sin. Sin is what separates us from God and His plan for our lives. Sin is anything from lying to murder. Everyone sins!
(
If needed, quote Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.")
Draw 2nd Circle as in the diagram.
Write BROKENNESS on the top of the circle.
Draw a broken line inside the circle. Say: This represents brokenness.
Draw three or four bungee cords with arrows outside the circle as the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): Sin takes us away from God, and our lives end up into brokenness. We try many things to escape how we feel with more things.
Draw the 1st bungee arrow, Say: drugs/alcohol.
Draw the 2nd bungee arrow, Say: sex/cheating.
Draw the 3rd bungee arrow, Say: career.
Draw the 4th bungee arrow. Say: money.
Say: Bungee cords represent brokenness in our lives that stretch right out and then springs back to us into sin that leads to more brokenness and emptiness.
CIRCLE 3 – JESUS
Draw the 3rd Circle
Write JESUS inside on the top part of the circle as in the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): God knew we were apart from Him, and he had a perfect plan and design for you and me. He made a way by sending His Son Jesus Christ to earth to live a perfect life with no "sin."
Draw an arrow down inside the JESUS circle on the left side as in the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): This represents God sending His Son to earth for our sins.
Draw a small cross in the center inside the JESUS circle as in the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): Jesus was perfect so that He could die in our place on the cross. He died on the cross to pay for our sins.
Draw an arrow up inside the JESUS circle on the right side as in the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): Three days later, Jesus rose from being dead and came back to life dying for our sins. (1John 2:2.)
Say: What did Jesus do when He arose from the grave? JESUS CANCELED SIN!
Draw a line through SIN as illustrated in the below diagram. We cannot escape our own BROKENNESS. Jesus has made a way for anyone to CHOOSE TO TURN AND BELIEVE IN JESUS AND MAKE HIM LORD OF THEIR LIFE.
Draw an arrow line from the BROKENNESS circle to the JESUS circle as in the diagram.
Write TURN OR REPENT close to the arrow line connecting the BROKENNESS circle to the JESUS circle as in the diagram.
Optional: Explain the word 'turn" or "repent." In Bible days, "REPENT" was used as a military term when a solder marching in one direction was told to do an about-face turn. In the spiritual sense, it means to change your mind. In repenting, you change the way that leads to a change in how you live, talk, feel, act, your values, and your thinking about it. In repenting, one makes a total change of direction (180° turn) towards God. (You can illustrate by doing a 180° turn.)
Say (Suggestion): We need to turn (repent) from our sins and turn from our brokenness to God a 180° turn.
Write BELIEVE and FOLLOW close to the arrow line going to the JESUS circle.
Say (Suggestion): When we believe that Jesus came for you and me and died for us, He gives us a new life, and we decide to follow Him.
Draw a crown on top of the JESUS circle as in the diagram.
Say (Suggestion): We believe and follow Jesus as our King!
Draw an arrow line from the JESUS circle to GOD'S PLAN circle.
Say: We are brought back into God's Plan for us.
Write RESTORED below the arrow line connecting the JESUS circle to GOD'S PLAN circle.
Say (Suggestion): When we decide to follow Jesus, we are brought back to God and restored to God's design, plan, and purpose for our lives.
Write GROW just above RESTORED below the arrow connecting 3rd JESUS circle to 1st GOD'S PLAN circle.
Say: God's plan for us is to grow in our lives and our relationship with God.
Say in your own words:
It is not enough just hearing about Jesus. We have to admit we are sinners that need to be rescued (saved.) We have to make a decision yes or no to following Jesus. Isn't that amazing what Jesus has done on the cross so we can be back in God's Plan for us?
Key Note:
A lot of religions do not believe that Jesus was God. You might need to say, Jesus was God and quote one of these verses.
"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1.)
Recommend knowing where to find a few scripture verses, as in the diagram.
Suggestive Questions In Closing. (Listen carefully to their answers.)
Do you have any questions? Does it make sense to you?
2. Which of these 3 circles are you in?
3. Which circle would you want to be in?
4. Would you want to put your trust and faith in Jesus and decide to follow Him?
5. Do you want to receive forgiveness of your sins and make Jesus the King of your life?
Always ask and give them an opportunity to ask Jesus into their lives. If they say yes, lead them in the sinner's prayer. If they say no, ask if they are open to meet again to discuss or answer any questions.

#3 Drawing the BROKENNESS Circle First.
THREE CIRCLES SHARING METHOD
(More Detailed Method #19)
INTRODUCTION
This method is designed to help Christians share their faith by including a tool called three circles evangelism. This approach provides a way of utilizing everyday conversations about brokenness, difficulties, and problems into regular conversations about Christ to share their faith with non-Christians.

OVERVIEW OF THE THREE CIRCLES METHOD
This tool encourages Christians to share the Gospel using three simple circles. As in the diagram, each circle symbolizes
(1) BROKENNESS CIRCLE
(2) GOSPEL CIRCLE
(3) GOD'S DESIGN CIRCLE
- A) They also demonstrate how accepting and submitting to Jesus will grow and develop faith and guide to God's perfect design.
- B) Making "Three Circles" is something that people quickly understand.
- C) All you need to have is a notepad or paper, or a napkin, and a pen.
- What was GOD's PLAN AND DESIGN FOR US?
- How did we depart and stray from God's Design through SIN?
- Can anyone escape and avoid BROKENNESS, and what does BROKENNESS feel like?
EXPLAIN THE GOSPEL USING THREE CIRCLES
1. Draw a circle and write inside the circle "BROKENNESS" as in the diagram
Draw several curly arrows out from it like a bungee cord and looping back to "BROKENNESS."
We are showing no matter what we do, it just always returns back to brokenness. As you draw each bungee cord, say one of the examples like drugs, next bungee cord overachieving, next money, next alcohol, and so on.
Discuss:
We live in a world of brokenness, wars, disasters, pain, and full of hurting people hurting each other. We try to escape and avoid brokenness by focusing on our career, gaining money, overachieving, drugs, sex, or alcohol. But all this leads to greater brokenness. We have failed in relationships and try other things to fill that empty space. But in the end, we just feel more pain.
2. On the left side, draw a second circle as in the diagram.
Write "GOD'S DESIGN" on the top of the circle.
Draw a "heart" inside the circle to symbolize God's love.
Discuss:
Brokenness was not God's original plan! God's design was perfect, like Himself, with no brokenness present.
Write "SIN" under the line as in the diagram.
Optional to add a running stick person as in the diagram.
Discuss: (First, cover GOD'S DESIGN with your hand.)
Each of us has rebelled and resisted against God and walked away from His perfect design and plan. The Bible calls this sin, and this leaves us all in brokenness." "Sin is anything from lying to murder. Everyone sins!"
Questions:
"Are you familiar with what the Bible says about the concept of sin?"
"Do you ever see this in your own life?"
4. Draw a third circle between the other two circles, forming an upside-down triangle of circles as in the diagram.
Write "GOSPEL" inside the circle.
Write "JESUS" above the circle. (Leave room to put a King's crown above Jesus.)
Discuss:
God recognized we could not escape our brokenness on our own, so God demonstrated and manifested His love towards us!
Key Note: A lot of religions do not believe that Jesus was God. Say, Jesus is God who came down from heaven into our broken world for us. If needed quote one of these verses. "I and the Father are one." (John 10:30.) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1.)
Discuss:
God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus was perfect without sin and lived a perfect life because He was God.
Draw a cross next to the down-arrow as in the diagram.
Discuss:
He suffered and endured a horrible death on a cross to take our sin upon Himself.
Draw an up-arrow next to the right side of the cross.
Discuss:
Then Jesus rose again, demonstrating that He has power over death! He's alive!
6. Draw an arrow from the BROKENNESS circle to the GOSPEL (JESUS) circle.
Draw a King's crown above the name of Jesus as in the diagram.
Optional to add a praying stick person as in the diagram.
Write TURN or REPENT and BELIEVE.
Explain what the word "TURN" biblically means in your own words. The word "REPENT" is the Greek word "metanoia" in the New Testament called for throughout the Bible is a call to a personal, complete, and ultimate unconditional surrender to God as Sovereign. Though it includes sorrow, grieving, and regret, it is more than that. In repenting (turning), one makes a total change of direction (180° turn) towards God. (You can illustrate turn/repent by doing a 180° turn.)
Discuss: Jesus tells us all to repent and turn from our sins. He also tells us to believe that He died for your sin and that God raised Him from the dead, and for us to follow Jesus as king of your life. Jesus promises that if you do that, you will be forgiven and restored back to God's design and plan!
7. Draw a line from the GOSPEL circle to GOD'S DESIGN circle.
Optional to add a celebrating stick person as in the diagram.
Write "Restored" on the left side of the arrow.
Discuss with joy, enthusiasm, and passion.
If we turn and believe in Jesus, we can leave this world of brokenness and be restored, renewed, and return to a relationship with God and pursue His design for us.
8. Draw a line from GOD'S DESIGN to BROKENNESS.
Write "GO" above the line as in the diagram.
Discuss:
More than that, God then sends us back into this "Brokenness" to tell others about the "Good News" of Jesus Christ.
Ask these questions:
"Where do you see yourself in these diagrams?"
"Are you currently in brokenness, or are you in God's perfect design?"
"Is there anything stopping you from turning (repentance) and believing in Jesus?" (Listen carefully to their answer.)
The answers to these questions will help you understand where they see themselves in their relationship to God. Depending on the conversation and circumstances, you can follow up with your testimony. Make sure you give them an opportunity to respond to accept and follow Jesus? If they say yes, help lead them into the sinner's prayer. If they say, ask if you can meet again to answer any questions they have.
Recommend you practicing the "Three Circles Sharing Method" on a Christian friend first. Remember, practice makes perfect!

HEART TO HEART (From the author's heart)
Before we start, a worthy note that is important in the 21 Century we live in.
In diagram 1, I used the word "TURN" by the BROKENNESS circle.
In diagram 3, I used the word "REPENT" by the BROKENNESS circle, which is the common usage in the Bible.
Because we are in the 21st century, we try to say terminology that the average person on the street understands. My point is if you are going to use the word "turn," explain what "repent" really means.
One suggestion you can use explaining the word "REPENT" is "one makes a total change of direction (180° turn) towards God."
Or you can say, "In Bible days, "REPENT" was used as a military term when a solder marching in one direction was told to do an about-face turn."
Another alternative you can say, "In the spiritual sense, it means to change your mind. In REPENTING, you change the way that leads to a change in how you live, talk, feel, act, your values, and your thinking about it." Suggestion you can illustrate any of these ideas by demonstrating yourself by doing a 180° turn.
It is of the utmost importance to present the truth of the Gospel, not a watered-down version that does not deliver the actual message. This is the end of our heart-to-heart talk, but to be honest, it is a spiritual concern of how some churches and the Gospel message is presented nowadays. If you believe the Bible is God's Word - which I do - it is foolhardy of us to change it to fit today's society without a short explanation of what the powerful word of "repent" really means when you use the word "turn." Take some time and Pause, Think, Consider, and Reflect on the above!
#4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
QUESTIONS TO START A SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION
1. "Would you consider yourself as close to God or far away from God?"
(Be a good listener and listen closely to their responses.)
2. "Can I show a picture diagram that changed my life and explained how to get close to God?"
(Be in prayer first if possible, speak the Gospel clearly, and respond gracefully.)
GOD'S DESIGN CIRCLE
God created the world. He had a perfect plan and design in mind for the world and us. We can see such evidence, beauty, and purpose of God's creation around us. God made you and me intending us to walk and worship with Him. (Genesis 1:31, Psalm 19:1.)
SIN
The Bible tells us we went from God's perfect plan to brokenness because of SIN. Sin is disobeying God and anything that we do against God. The consequences of sin separates us from God and leads us to death. (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23.)
BROKENNESS CIRCLE
Sin leads us to a place of brokenness. The world we live in is imperfect, damaged, and broken all around us. We, as individuals, are also imperfect, damaged, and broken people. We devise all kinds of ways to fix this brokenness by religion, good works, relationships, and substance abuse to numb the feelings of brokenness. In a lot of cases, these things leave us more broken than when we started. All our human efforts out of brokenness fall short. (Romans 1:25, Proverbs 14:12.)
JESUS CIRCLE (GOSPEL CIRCLE)
But God had a perfect plan to restore us to His perfect design for us. Jesus is God who came down from heaven into our broken world. Suggestion point to JESUS circle and then to God's Design in saying the above. (In this part, you draw a down arrow in the Jesus circle.)
Jesus was perfect, did not sin, and without any sin. Because Jesus was perfect, He willingly died on the cross, becoming our perfect sacrifice for our sins.
(In this part, you draw a cross inside the Jesus circle.)
Jesus three days later arose from dead so that He could restore us back to God's plan and design. Jesus became our substitute and died for our sins on the cross.
(In this part, you draw an arrow up in the Jesus circle.) Jesus actually took on all of our sins and CANCELLED it for us. He crushed sin.
Jesus's primary mission was to fix our brokenness and restore (bring) us back to God. No matter what we have done, Jesus tells us two things about how we can get back to God. (John 3:16, Colossians 2:14.)
TURN / REPENT – BELIEVE – FOLLOW
1. Turn from living our own way and sinning.
Turn/Repent from our brokenness and turn away from our sin. The Bible calls that repentance when we are sorry for our sins, and we turn away from our old life and turn to God. In this case, your explanation can be short, but please explain "turn" from what scriptures say it is.
What the word "REPENT" truly means biblically?
In one or two sentences, explain the phrase "turn." The word "REPENT" is the Greek word "metanoia" in the New Testament called for throughout the Bible is a call to a personal, complete, and ultimate unconditional surrender to God as Sovereign. Though it includes sorrow, grieving, and regret, it is more than that. In repenting, one makes a total change of direction (180° turn) towards God. In Bible days, "repent" was used as a military term when a solder marching in one direction was told to do an about-face turn. In the spiritual sense, it means to change your mind. In repenting, you change the way that leads to a change in how you live, talk, feel, act, your values, and your thinking about it.
Nowadays, many people are scared to use the word "repent" and avoid using it altogether partially because a lot of people do not understand what this small word means. "Repent" is when you accept Christ as Lord and Savior, you no longer reject Him but believe in Christ, the Son of God. You actually do a spiritual about-face, which changes everything, including sin and wanting to honor God with a changed heart attitude in every aspect of life.
Should we be afraid of the word "repent?" The answer is no, instead embrace the spiritual reality that happens to you when you turn to Jesus and away from the sin in your life. We read in Ezekiel 36:21-38 what God will do to bring back the honor to His name. First, He purges nations and His church and cleanses His ministry, and raises His shepherds after His own heart. Second, God will glorify His Holy name by a supernatural "turning" repenting of a remnant back to Himself. Matthew 24:35 says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
Take some time and Pause, Think, Consider, and Reflect on the above!
2. God asks us to believe that Jesus is Lord and that He died for my sin and rose from the dead to give us new life. Following Jesus is a choice we make, and He becomes our Lord. We believe in Christ and His promises, and he restores us back to God's design for our lives. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9)
RESTORATION AND GROWING
We are restored back to God and start a new life in Christ, our Savior and Lord. Life-changing to be restored back to God's design and plan for yourself.
We spiritually grow daily as we pray, read the Bible, and fellowship with other Christians. God's Spirit empowers us to seek and pursue God's Design, and we are assured of His presence in our lives and for all eternity. (Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 2:10)
GO
After being reconciled back to God, God sends you back into the world of brokenness to tell others about God's Salvation plan.
QUESTION TO ASK
Suggestion you can draw a happy stick figure in GOD'S PERFECT DESIGN CIRCLE and a sad stick person in the BROKENNESS circle as you say this below.
"Every person in the world is in one of the two places, either brokenness or here in God's perfect design and plan for you. Where do you think you are?"
What should you do after seeing the 3 Circle methods?
"You have now heard the Good News of what Jesus has done for you. God desires that you respond to Him. You can talk (prayer) to God using words like this or similar."
Let it come from your heart, as this is just a suggestive outline. (Romans 10:9-13)
- "God, I recognize that my life is broken because of sin and my selfish ways. I need you, Jesus.
- Forgive me. I turn and repent from my selfish ways and put all my trust in you, God.
- I believe Jesus came to earth to live and die and was raised up from the dead for my sins.
- I confess that Jesus is Lord of all in my life, and I want to learn and grow knowing God's plan for my life and to have a daily relationship with Him."
WHAT IS NEXT IN THIS NEW JOURNEY?
1. ASSURANCE - Simply believe and trust you accepted Christ, do not doubt.
2. PRAYER – Talk to God daily, anytime early in the morning or driving a vehicle, etc.
3. BIBLE – Read the Bible as God reveals His plan for you and how to pursue it.
4. CHURCH - Find a caring local church to help you in your new walk with God.
5. WATER BAPTISM – Encourage you to be water baptized to be obedient to God.
6. SHARE YOUR STORY – Share what has happened to you with others.
SOME TYPES OF SITUATIONS TO USE THE 3 CIRCLES SHARING METHOD
- Use to articulate the Gospel message.
- You are helping a new Christian understand the Salvation message.
- You are training someone in using the 3 Circle Method to share what they believe.
What to do if someone says "Yes" I accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Welcome them to the Family of God! "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
What to do if someone says "No" or "Not Sure" or "Not Yet."
Ask the question?
"What is stopping you from trusting in Jesus?"
Listen carefully to discern and understand their unwillingness to trust Jesus. Try to help answer their questions. If you don't have the answer, be honest and tell them, but say let us meet up again I will check it out.
