Practise Your Conversation and Evangelism Skills

Click on any of the images below to have a talk to that "Person". Each one has a distinctive personality and situation. How would you, as a Christian, engage with this person? Use them to hone your skills. The bots tend to drive the conversation. You might find you have to take control.

Remember, they are not real so, if you make a mistake or want to experiment with different approaches to see what reaction you get, feel free. It is a bit like a flight simulator: no one will be killed even if you crash the plane. It is practice for the real thing.
