Thailand: Paulsen Meets Deputy Prime Minister, Tells Adventists to Stress Faith, Hope Found in Christ (http://news.adventist.org/data/2004/01/1077030815/index.html.en).
During his four-day visit, Paulsen also spent time with church members and leaders in both the northern city of Changmai and the capital, Bangkok. At different gatherings, he urged believers to renew their dedication to making personal witness a part of their everyday lives."Please, let us not turn sharing our faith into a complicated science--it is not!" Paulsen told more than 1,000 church members at Bangkok's Ekamai International School Feb. 8. "Sharing Jesus Christ with our friends and neighbors was never meant to be difficult. I believe we sometimes try to make it far too complicated.
"Just tell people about Jesus, about hope, and about how they can have confidence in the future," Paulsen added. "And most importantly, demonstrate in your own life that you have found this hope, and that you have faith in God's future. And let us do this in humility."

You can even be a witness by writing software and subtly mentioning God in your documentation (thanks, Nathaniel, for the inspiration!):

CreditsI’d like to thank…
Matz, for a great language!
Masaki Suketa, for his work on RubyUnit, which filled a vital need in the Ruby world for a very long time. I’m also grateful for his help in polishing Test::Unit and getting the RubyUnit compatibility layer right. His graciousness in allowing Test::Unit to supercede RubyUnit continues to be a challenge to me to be more willing to defer my own rights.
Ken McKinlay, for his interest and work on unit testing, and for his willingness to dialog about it. He was also a great help in pointing out some of the holes in the RubyUnit compatibility layer.
Dave Thomas, for the original idea that led to the extremely simple "require ‘test/unit’", plus his code to improve it even more by allowing the selection of tests from the command-line. Also, without RDoc, the documentation for Test::Unit would stink a lot more than it does now.
Everyone who’s helped out with bug reports, feature ideas, encouragement to continue, etc. It’s a real privilege to be a part of the Ruby community.
The guys at RoleModel Software, for putting up with me repeating, "But this would be so much easier in Ruby!" whenever we’re coding in Java.
My Creator, for giving me life, and giving it more abundantly.
