Do you share your faith with your friends? Do you let them know that there is salvation only in the name of Jesus Christ? Do you pray for them to be saved? Do you beg God to do a work in their lives?
Do you participate in the missionary offering at church? Do you feel that world evangelism is important enough for you to give a good amount each week to send the gospel to the world?

Do we feel any responsibility?
