It was a gorgeous day at the park. Perfect temperature. Lot's of people. Great witnessing opportunity. We took a team of people from TBC who were in our evangelism and apologetics course out for some practical training and then returned to TBC to share about our encounters and talk about what we learned from them.
One encounter that I had was particularly sweet. I saw two guys standing near a tree. By outward appearances, they looked like the could be waiting for a drug deal. I walked over to them and handed them million dollar bill gospel tracts and asked them if they had received one of these yet. As they looked them over, I told them they were gospel tracts and asked them if they knew what their eternal destiny would be if they died today. They were unsure. That got the conversation it was going.
It was a great encounter. They were very attentive to the gospel and very honest about their sins and shortcomings. They knew if they died today they were in big trouble and that concerned them. That made the good news of the gospel that much more special to them. As I shared the gospel with them, their children saw the million dollar bills and came running over to get their own. They had many good questions about the gospel, which allowed me to elaborate in front of Ricardo and George, the two men with whom I was originally sharing.
I encouraged them to repent, trust Christ before it's too late, and begin to follow him today by starting with the gospel of John and asking God to help them obey what they read. There are so many opportunities around us each day to impact lives for eternity.
