I found a good definition of testimony at Into Thy Word in the article How to Prepare a Testimony:
A testimony means we profess our faith publicly to a person or multiple persons. We share who Jesus is and what He has done for us. This is not just for the professional pastor or evangelist; rather it is a call for all who are in Christ.
I must confess that I do not have my testimony written out. I don’t even have a good one mapped out in my mind — so if someone were to ask me, I’m sure I’d stumble on my words. It’s kind of ironic. I have been encouraging a friend of mine, Heather @ Desperately Seeking Sanity, to share her testimony and I don’t even have mine written out 
Well, she went and did it — in 5 parts. You can start reading at her first post, “I have a story to tell.” The link I shared above, How to Prepare a Testimony, has some great information to get you started with writing things out. I’ll be going back over that article tomorrow since I need to write mine!
Going a little further than writing out your testimony, I hope and pray that your blog shares true stories from your every day life that testify to God’s presence.

We just did this with our teens at church. We ave them three simppl steos for sharing their testimony and then we had them write it out as oart if a “rehersal”. The three steps:
1. Who I was before I met Christ
2. How I met Christ
3. who I have become since I met Christ
We ebcouraged them to avoid Christian terms that might be confusing such as “saved” “redemmed”. It was a great way to teach this to them. I shared my testimony to them in the manner and they were so attentive (of course it wasn’t pretty-my past-so I guess it made me more real to them and their lives today).
Blessings!

I saw a skit on You Tube where a church has several people answer these questions. That prompted me to write a quick version of my testimony in that fashion. Here are the Q’s:
Who were you?, Who was He?, What Happened?, Where were you?, Who are you?, Who is He now?
So I did my testimony on my personal blog two times one in this fashion and then a more extended version of what the Lord did for me with photo’s. It’s been fun to revisit the experience and see how much the Lord has brought me through and saved me from. I just Praise Him!
Under Construction,
