Killing Time, Saving Lives

I was waiting for my son while he was in his driver's training course last night, so I went over to the artesian well on 164th street and handed out several tracts. Note to self, get some Spanish language tracts (other languages such as Russian, Japanese, Viet Namese and Chinese would also be useful.)

Then I went over to the Alderwood mall, hopefully to witness to people as the waited at the bus stop. I wasn't disappointed. I talked to three Hispanic people, one of them very thugged out, and got to witness the full Gospel to the young man named Levi. He didn't come to faith, but we did have a very engaging discussion.

Then I showed a couple of young Afro-American men the curved illusion and they busted up. I got to lead them through the Law and they both admitted that if they got what they deserved on Judgement Day, that they'd end up in hell. Then I got to share the good news of how God loved them so much He became a man in the person of Jesus Christ and died on the cross for their sins (they already knew the story). They were very receptive and I encouraged them to get right with God and read the Gospel of John.

After that I went back and picked up my son at the driver's training school.

This is but one example of how the LORD can use us to share the good news of eternal life through Jesus Christ, even when we're just killing some time.

God bless...

A Great Blessing (Twice)

Two times in August, I found myself at the Monroe fairgrounds sitting in the "Godmobile" witnessing, evangelizing, ministering and sharing. This "Godmobile" approach has got to be one of the best approaches for engaging people of all ages that I have ever seen. The Godmobile has a question painted on the side and a big sign on top that say, "Are you going to heaven when you die? Take the two question test to find out."

Not only was it rewarding to have the opportunity to witness and evangelize people of all ages and conditions, but it was a great blessing to be seated next to fellow Christians with a heart for the lost.

Some incidents from those events that stand out in my mind, are ones like the tatoo covered man coming up and saying "No, I'm not going to heaven. I'm going to hell and that's where I want to go because that's where all the prostitutes and liquor will be."

Another was when the drunk couple came up and the gal said in a pleading voice, "I just want to know that I will go to heaven when I die, I love the Lord..." and then having a ten minute debate with the drunk man about why he needed to get right with God.

Others were the goth teen who listened to the Gospel and then proceeded to tell me that there was no heaven, that life ended at death and God was in everything.

Likewise the Muslim young man who listened to the Gospel and then proceeded to tell me that the Muslim way to heaven was the right way.

All in all, the Godmobile, which is sponsored by the Full Gospel Businessman's Association is doing a great thing in reaching out to the lost in Washington state.

God bless...
