Think of the “15-Second Testimony” as a framework that allows you to expand your testimony based on the context. Sometimes, you'll only have 15 seconds to share because people are in a hurry. Other times, you might have 30 seconds, a minute, or even several minutes if the listener shows more interest. Mastering your 15-second testimony provides a structure you can build on to create longer testimonies as needed.

Demon-Delivered Man Invited To Share His Testimony

“As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, ‘Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’ So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.” - Mark 5:18-20

After Jesus healed the demon-possessed man, He was sent to share his story in the Decapolis, while Jesus was initially sent away due to fear. However, when Jesus later returned, He was warmly welcomed. In Mark 7:31-37 and Matthew 15:29-31, large crowds brought many to Jesus for healing, demonstrating their newfound openness and belief in Him.

The Result Of His Ongoing Testimony Shares

The Decapolis, a region once closed to Jesus' ministry, became open to Him later on, thanks to the transformational testimony of the formerly demon-possessed man.
