Everyday is a missions trip, are you ready?

I did something new, and really it turned out to be a simple way to witness. I decided to put a tract in all of the mail boxes that came my way as I went for a walk with my dog. Hopefully I didn't break any laws, but I think they would only find my guilty of delivering mail without postage.

Well I also got to go downtown to the Saturday morning market again, and handed out over a hundred tracts. I got to give one to my insurance agent, and a previous coworker. I knew I was there for a reason. One man threw a tract back at me because he seemed to be insulted that he wasn't a "good person". Praying for all there souls!

I never really go to a party but went to one because some friends of ours from church came back to town to visit. While I was there I got to had a different friend a CD of "One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven" by Mark Cahill, which is an mp3 of his book. He had been looking for more inspiration on how to share his faith, and I got to encourage him to be bold.

Yet I didn't want to leave the party before I had a chance to talk to everyone there because I felt I needed to talk to someone there. The Lord directed me to a guy sitting on the couch and we had a great conversation and I found out that he wasn't saved. Imagine that being at a Christian party with church friends and everyone is so busy talking about themselves they miss out on sharing the Gospel.

Well we got to go through the Law and the Prophets and talk about prophecy being fulfilled with Israel, and those yet to come. I got to leave him with a tract called "Why Christianity?" which is a booklet that shows the difference between Christianity and other major religions. It doesn't put them down, but uses a simple analogy to show why Christianity is above the rest big time.

Saturday morning farmers market

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.
