I was blessed by going to our Saturday morning farmers market and gave out about 200 tracts one week, and then about the same amount again the next week. I met up with some friends and some people helping them to step outside of their comfort zone. We were asked to move outside the market area due to no leafleting inside the conned off area. Without wanting to get into a huge disagreement we complied and the Lord blessed that.
A lady with 3 dogs needing adoption came beside us and gathered more people than we could hand out tracts to. The next week a man dressed as a clown brought dozens of kids next to us also. Remember that evangelism itself isn't converting people. It is simply telling the message of the good news of Jesus Christ. We don't hope to evangelize. We do it, knowing that God is glorified in it. God commands everyone who believes in Christ to preach the gospel. It is not a guilt-driven burden, but a joyful privilege.

Thursday Night Farmers Market
I had another awesome time down at our local Thursday Night Farmers Market. I met up with Jon Talley and Gary Jacques. I had felt last week I was not very fruitful and only gave out about 200 or so gospel tracks. The enemy whispered to me that people where just going to throw them away.
This is something that I have learned that when we are not witnessing the enemy will tell us not to because we don't know enough or are not really good at it in the first place. Then when we are witnessing the enemy will tell us to stop because we are not really making a difference and we should go back to being a cozy Christian.
So I stood purposely next to two large trash cans and handed out more than 400 gospel tracks with only 2 rejections in the trash. So 0.5% didn't want it and threw a tract away and 99.5% did, I consider those very good odds. Most people wont event hand out a tract because they are afraid of rejection or say it just doesn't work. How do you know unless you try?
I also had more than several great conversations and remember that the face of the lie the enemy tells us is all about pride, this is because we don't want anyone to think badly of us. So step out side of your comfort zone and you will step right into God's. Please put your trust in the Lord, he will always amaze you!.
