Bingo for Jesus: Finding Joy in Sharing the Good News
| For many of us, the idea of sharing our faith can feel intimidating. We know the gospel is the best news anyone could ever hear, but where do we start? How do we bring it up in conversation? What if we say the wrong thing?
That’s where Bingo for Jesus comes in. At first glance, it’s just a fun game—familiar, easy, and filled with excitement. But at its core, Bingo for Jesus is about something deeper: helping us get comfortable with talking about our faith. It’s an opportunity to practice speaking about Jesus in a way that feels natural, personal, and joyful. Breaking the Ice with Bingo Think about it—when you play bingo, you’re engaged, listening, and waiting for that one moment to shout, “Bingo!” You’re on the lookout for patterns, making connections between what’s called out and what’s on your card. That’s not too different from sharing the gospel. In our everyday lives, we come across moments—conversations, needs, struggles—where the love of Jesus fits perfectly. But if we aren’t tuned in or prepared, we might miss the opportunity. Bingo for Jesus is a creative way to train our hearts and minds to recognize those moments and step into them with confidence.

Each time you complete a square, you get one step closer to Bingo—and, more importantly, one step closer to making gospel conversations a natural part of your daily life.

It’s about finding joy in talking about Christ and realizing that sharing the gospel doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. It can be as simple as a conversation, a prayer, or an invitation. So, are you ready to play? More importantly, are you ready to step into the joy of sharing Jesus? Let’s start filling our cards—and filling hearts with the good news of Christ.
