evangelism is always of interest to me. It seems the methods and approaches are always change but sometimes I feel Christians make too many excuses. plant seeds share your story or at least the hope you have. I can’t change the condition of thier soil but I can keep praying knowing that God loves the lost infinitely more than I do even if it is a son daughter, mom, dad, husband, wife.
thanks DC most of the time I don’t know what to think about church efforts, we tend to want ‘results’ that we can see.. right now
I have come to accept that Most people that God lets me talk to or share a Gospel Tract with not accept Jesus when I am there! I believe God is working behind the scenes and expect to see some of those folks again!! It is gonna be AWESOME!! (Yes, I know the majority of people will say no to God, But some will say YES!!! PRAISE GOD!!!)
there’s a story in the Bible about a guy that says no at first.. and then goes ahead.. Jesus says he’s better than the one who says I’ll do it and then doesn’t! thanks for commenting Jeff!
Absolutely with gentleness and respect with their view of us living a healthy life by example!
that’s the hard part keeping your own life something of an example. Makes me nervous
I read somewhere that Alcoholics Anonymous has a 15% success rate which is applaudable for sure. I also read that Teen Challenge has an 85% success rate. The difference I am aware of is Emmanuel Christ Jesus is the focus for every soul that enters Teen Challenge and the souls that join AA acknowledge a “higher power”. Of course working with percentages instead of whole numbers might paint a somewhat inaccurate or prejudicial picture but I’m goin with the ‘majority’ on this one.
wow you have yer own great takes KP.. yes, I have a daughter that was on heroin for six years. Got her into teen challenge from her court case facing jail time. She’s been clean for 11 years now. Amazing turn around.
Ya’ ever get the feeling those guys on the street corner think that they’re the “voice crying in the wilderness” per the prophets. very embarrassing. Missionary work is actually illegal here in Israel, and I think rightly so.
Witness is best given by how we live our lives. The doors open at the right times to discuss faith.
Anyway, just sayin’
have a good week…
we never see the whole picture when it comes to numbers. even those who appear not to change.. that takes a life time in my own life
You know, Brother Bryan, I’ve been binge watching Ray Comfort, Just Witnessing videos on YouTube. But I always feel outnumbered just by being a Believing Aspie that love blue-eyed soul. Keep up the awesome job, brother!
THANKS Rand, I know you share my nutshells online. I appreciate your support of my new endeavors

you might remember me thinking that same thing.. bout havin my own church LOL .. me n you makes one church cause you know 2 or more! ROFL
The first thing in evangelism should be prayer. If we are not praying for a person to share God’s story in our life, or hear their story and reveal where God is working in their life; then can we truly believe it will be effective? More importantly, how will we know how to effectively help them and meet a tangible need without prayer?
We cannot and will not fulfill the Great Commission, without first helping others experience the Great Commandment. Before we can even ask what they feel/think about Jesus; they first must know and experience that we love them as Jesus loves them; and that step begins with prayer.
Good Word Nate.. nuff said thanks
The US claims Christianity is the major religion because it has most members. But what does that say? It isn’t whether a certain group is in the majority, it is what the individuals in it believe and that’s something only God can see. I think the way people react and treat others and their actions are the most important
Hi JZ .. that’s why conflict will never go away until God settles it
Being a young adult when I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ back in the Summer of 1975 at CC Riverside. I was encouraged to do street evangelism. I wasn’t good at it and quickly resolved that was what God wanted me to do. I used Agapé & prayer for the individuals within my life. I used to give my Bible (had written notes in it too) to those who were sincere in their pursuit of Jesus Christ. People who received such Bibles were shocked that I would be willing to part with it. I was able to purchase a new one and start over writing notes within. FF 25 years my youngest neighbor reconnected with me on Facebook. Once we caught up of family members (all 3 boys were my neighborhood brothers) Ric told me I was the one who encouraged to walk with God! I was shocked because I didn’t recall saying or doing anything. He reminded me that I had gifted him my Bible to him as his father was moving their family 2 miles away – so our daily interaction would be different. Their family eventually moved to Long Beach and we lost touch. I was flabbergasted a had totally forgotten that I had done that but I do recall the look of that Bible. He has changed his lifestyle as an adult male and his name but the spirit of the Lord is the foundation that I hope still works within.
Wow tad bit long but I don’t know any other way to speak to non believers – and sadly I do see a sharp increase of those who reject God…
thanks for sharing.. so you were there when I was .. evangelism had a face
