What If We Got Better at Talking About Jesus?

A book that began as an idea is now in print! Thanks to generous donors and the support of GBU Conecta, How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being THAT Guy) has been translated into Spanish and published. Now more university students in Spain can be equipped to share their faith with the people around them.

Have you ever put your foot in it when talking about Jesus? Or perhaps walked away from a conversation feeling that you could have handled it better?

These are questions that many Christians can relate to, including the university students I work with here in Spain. I want to encourage them to talk about Jesus on their campuses, but I also want to help them feel equipped to do so in a way that is natural, thoughtful and relevant to the people they meet.

That's why I wanted to get Sam Chan's book, How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being THAT Guy): Personal Evangelism in a Sceptical World, into the hands of Spanish-speaking students.

I'm delighted to share that the Spanish translation has now been published!

This has been made possible through the generosity of donors in the United States and the use of an existing fund within GBU Conecta. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped bring this project to life.

More than a translation

For me, this is about more than making another Christian book available in Spanish. I work with university students who want to share their faith with friends and classmates, but knowing how to begin those conversations isn't always easy.

This book offers practical, accessible ideas for engaging with people who don't yet know Christ. It encourages Christians to share life with others, listen well and find natural ways to talk about Jesus in a world that can be sceptical about faith.

I hope it will encourage and challenge GBU students across Spain to take those conversations further — and give them confidence to share the gospel with the people they meet every day.

The book has been published through Andamio Editorial, the publishing house connected with GBUnidos Spain. Through its GBU Conecta collection, Andamio provides books for university students, including resources on personal evangelism, apologetics and exploring the Christian faith.

There is still a part to play

Our original fundraising target was €4,000 to cover the translation and printing costs. We reached 50% of that target, and the support we received, together with the GBU Conecta fund, enabled us to publish the book.

We are thrilled to see it in print, and very thankful to everyone who contributed. However, there are still costs to cover, so if you would like to support this project, donations are still welcome.

Your gift can help cover the remaining expenses and support the work of making this resource available to students across Spain.

Thank you for being part of this. Please also pray that the book will get into the right hands, encourage students to speak about Jesus and lead to many meaningful conversations about the gospel.
