Sharing Christ Ministries has evolved over the years, as far back as 1970, as an unofficial Christian work. There was a direct tie-in with the Billy Graham films. Many pastors of various denominations provided counselors for the first time decision people and then the follow-up to make sure these people were established in a local church. This continued on for a number of years.

Then it evolved into the work of Campus Crusade for Christ. Their ministry was to have evangelism during Spring Break in Daytona Beach. As thousands of persons would come here for Spring Break, Campus Crusade staff would come to conduct evangelism. John Wine was the city coordinator for seven consecutive years.

This involved many churches, civic groups, and all forms of evangelistic training and outreaches. In any single year, within two weeks time, there was over 16,000 first time decisions recorded as a result of this work.

From there an opportunity presented itself to launch the ministry called Time To Share. This was a comprehensive radio ministry on WNDB radio for over 25 years. A 30 minute program providing inspiration, Bible teaching and how to live the victorious Christian life.

From that evolved the creation of certain publications. The book, Think On These Things, a devotional that was endorsed and a Forward written by Dr. Pat Robertson. Think On These Things was published by the 700 Club and has literally been distributed around the world.

The next major publication was Living Evangelism Curriculum, an entire system of material, workbooks and Sharing Christ tools for the equipping of Christian believers to share their faith as a way of life.
