Though I'm not blogging daily about my witnessing encounters (due to time constraints and family priorities), I remaining committed to being alert to witnessing opportunities that the Lord provides each day and equally committed to acting on them. May 2010 be a year of 100Fold harvesting while it's still "day"!!!
I had some good encounters this past week. (Though I believe that ALL witnessing encounters are good no matter what happens, so long as the seed of the word is faithfully sown either through the distribution of a gospel tract or verbal witness!) Let tell you about one of them.
There is a city bus station near my office building downtown. I've discovered it's an AWESOME place to go at lunch time. Crowded. People standing around. People sitting. Just waiting for their bus so they can hop on and go where they need to go. It's a perfect environment to hand out tracts and strike up conversations about a topic so important that God stepped down out of heaven to do something about it personally--the salvation of eternal souls made in God's own image.
I met John. A young man just out of jail who was just struggling to survive on the streets. We talked for several minutes. Some of the things John said broke my heart. Sin has so marred John's life (his own and other peoples' sins), that he has a very cynical view of life. We went through the gospel together--in full. I urged him to consider it seriously before it's too late. He took the tract. He read the entire thing. He said he would consider it. I pray he acted on the gospel.
