I saw a couple of shifty characters pull up next to the side of the neighbors house, in a green Chevy pickup. I grabbed some Lincoln trillion dollar bill Gospel tracts and headed around the block, so I could come up from behind them.
But, while on the greenbelt trail, I saw a couple of teenage boys hanging out and talking. So I took the opportunity to stop and chat with them. Their names were Damen and Jake. Damen was a nominal Mormon and said he went to church every Sunday, but it didnt affect the way he lived or spoke (as evidenced by some vulgar language). They were both 17 years old.
I gave them Gospel tracts and asked them what they thought someone needed to do to go to heaven. "Be a good person, keep the commandments ", they said, so I was able to go through the good person test with them, and they listened and were genuinely engaged. Then I got to share the Gospel with them and encouraged them to read their Bible.
I was very nervous at the beginning of the conversation but calmed down toward the end. By the time I walked back home, the shifty characters were gone.
Please pray for these young men.
God bless...
