3. Focus on emotions and personal growth: Describe the emotions you felt during your journey and how it transformed you. Discuss the positive changes you've experienced since becoming a member or engaging with the ministry.
4. Keep it concise: While detailing your experiences is important, keep your testimonial concise and to the point. Avoid unnecessary repetition or tangents.
