To live your lives in such a way that people may see the Peace, Love, and Joy in the Holy Ghost in us. So that people around us know we are different, that we are a walking advertisement for Jesus Christ. Then people around us will ask us, “What must I do to be saved!”

Mat. 5:13-16 "You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it. "You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.

1 Peter 3:15-16 Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect.

Act 16:25-32 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, which shook the prison to its foundations. At once all the doors opened, and the chains fell off all the prisoners. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he thought that the prisoners had escaped; so he pulled out his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't harm yourself ! We are all here!" The jailer called for a light, rushed in, and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. Then he led them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They answered, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved---you and your family." Then they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in the house.

Ministry is not always about preaching the word with our mouths but with our actions. You don't need to tell them about Christ but rather be Christ-like to them. When there houses are leaking than help them. Be a blessing in all that you do and in time they will come to you and ask you what makes you different from all of the others. That is when their hearts are very open to hear. It is not always easy and it can take a long time but the end result of showing them God's love through actions and not Words is a much more effective tool than we sometimes give it credit. If it works with Muslims than it should work with Buddhists. Hope that helped. Be blessed.

Be who you are,in Love we were made and in the very image of the One called Love so that measn the very essence of love permiates in and through us,we are the ones stopping that love from being passed on!Yes brother Caleb hit the nail on the head when he said you don't have to say anything just be who you are and act in love,by doing anything and everything that you can to help them,there is always something we can do,and this will show them we are not the people they thought we are!
You see Love has a way of making things happen,love makes the impossible Possible,because Christ Jesus is Love and He lives in us,so nothing,absolutely nothing is impossible!
i have just returned form meeting missionaries from all over the world with testimonies of exactly that!And we need to know and understand that time makes no difference,it is God's time not ours so just do everything in love and hand it over to our master and lover,and know HE ALONE HOLDS THE KEY!
