Last evening and today became a battle to overcome fear, to step up on the box and proclaim the Gospel. Thankfully God spurred us on to the challenge. Stepping up on the box felt like climbing mount Everest. But it forced me to some intense prayer and reliance upon God for his strength and courage.
We handed Gospel tracts to a couple of girls and it turned out they were Christians, and we asked them to pray for us. We open air preached two times last evening at the roundabout at the main intersection in Edmonds. We had a couple of drive-by hecklers, but all in all it was a wonderful experience.
Then this morning, we open air preached once at the roundabout, at the main intersection in Edmonds. We had one man come up and oppose our preaching the Gospel (saying he agreed with the message, but asked us to stop because we were too loud). He asked that we stop so people could drink their coffee in peace and quite at the sidewalk cafe. We told him that we were almost finished, but we weren't going to stop preaching the Gospel. He left in a minor huff.
Then we capped it off with an open air message to the festival goers entering the front gate of the festival. See my message here...
I feel very humbled to have the opportunity and privilege from God to proclaim the Gospel. I have a long way to grow in my Gospel presentation, so hopefully the message will reach peoples hearts, even though the messenger is very weak.
We were very encouraged by multiple one-2-one conversations. After we open-aired, we were approached by a couple of girls who attended Westgate Chapel. One of the girls said she was a YWAM missionary to China. They were very interested in what we were doing and how we were preaching the Gospel in the open air.
God bless...
