Subject: Witnessing: What is your style? |
Bible Note: Personal Note .................................. Dear Nolan, Yes, I remember very well your visits to Kentucky, when we caught up with each other, and saw the paths that God had taken our lives on. I look forward to being able to get together again sometime in the future. I'm glad that our time witnessing to strangers on the streets and your experience at Wal-Mart were both so impacting on yourself and those around you. I recently had another experience with this "direct" approach. Each year there is a Jessamine Jamboree Festival near my town. It is a medium size fair with craft booths, food booths, and a carnaval. This year my wife and I set up a booth and had free helium balloons for kids, free bottled water for adults, and free storytelling for everyone. The story was the "Wordless Book", which a gospel presentation developed by Child Evangelism Fellowhip. Over the course of the weekend, we gave away about 500 baloons or water bottles (telling people that they were free gifts to show God's love for them). Of those people, about 250 people stayed to hear the gospel story. And of those 35 people prayed for forgivness of sin, and to recieve Jesus Christ into their lives. It was a tremendous experience. |
