Activity 2

Give your analysis and reflection. Limit your answer to 5-10 sentences only.

1. What roles have each of us been called to play in professing our faith to God?

As Christians, we have a responsibility to share the gospel with others by speaking and living
it ourselves, trusting that God will work in the hearts of those who hear us. It's an act of
generosity to pass on the faith by telling our own faith stories and by giving attention to the faith
that makes it possible for others to access the Story of the faith. In every situation, we see how
injustice, inequality, corruption, and natural calamities damage children's lives and prospects.
Our work reflects our understanding of Jesus Christ's unwavering love for people. In this life,
God has invited us to be witnesses and reflect His unfailing love to others.
