Once upon a time, a little lightning bug was stuck inside a mason jar, just blinking away. He was completely focused on being the brightest and getting everyone to notice him...until now. The jar was opened, and the little bug is flying away. Every bug seems to be flying toward a bright light near a porch. The light is making a buzz. Instead, our little friend is going big: he's flying for the moon.

Thought from the Retro Bible: Evangelize. There's No Excuse.
"13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." -Acts 4:13, NIV
Lots of people like to use this excuse as to why they don't tell people about Jesus: "I'm just a regular person. I don't know anything theological." Peter and John weren't theologians; they were fisherman, just your everyday blue-collar workers. That's what makes their ministry so great, as only God could have empowered them to speak, heal and minister like they did (paraphrased from Revolution: The Bible for Teen Guys).
Are you making excuses? Everybody is capable of telling the Good News of Jesus Christ. Go do it.
