Door-to-Door Faith Boost for the Fainthearted
Sent in to us from Michael B. of Eure, NC
Our fishing team goes door-to-door evangelizing using this survey form we created. Everyone started out nervous using the form but after the first few homes everyone was pumped up for evangelism and didn't want to stop. We simply tell people that we are from a local church and we're conducting a survey to see what people in our community believe. The majority of people who answer the door agree to take the survey. No one has stopped us in the middle of the survey and refused the Gospel. Then we thank the person for taking the survey give them "Are you a good person" or a "Ticket to Heaven" tract and offer them a New Testament if they don't have one in the house already.
Two churches in our county are using this approach to evangelism and this Monday night I'm assisting a new church in doing it too.
This survey has been used very effectively over 200 times. It gives the fainthearted a boost in faith.
Reaching More than Fleas
Sent in to us from Joseph S. of Indian Trail, NC
I'm an elder at a church you mentioned in your August newsletter. I thought I'd give you a follow-up on the Lord's work in our midst. You were correct about our canceling the morning worship service to have the entire congregation pass out tracts at the local flea market as a result of viewing the 'In Season-Out of Season' video. Well, the men of the church decided that we should go a step further and actually rent a table at the flea market on Saturday, instead of meeting for our monthly men's breakfast. At least 1000 people were given tracts that morning. Each man testified to giving the 'Good Test' to at least 30-35 people during the five hours. Many were broken before God with their eyes welling-up. In twenty years of serving Christ, that morning was the highlight of my Christian walk. The men witnessing that morning unanimously agreed that we will rent a table once a month from now on. We had skeptics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, church-goers and pagans all walking past us on their way to hell. Perhaps, as Jude says, we were able to snatch some from the fire.
Major Airline "Promotes" Hollywood CD
Sent in to us from Creighton B. of Denver, CO
I purchased 50 of Ray's "What Hollywood Believes" CD's. Although I was full of fear and trembling, as I boarded the plane, I approached these two delightful flight attendants and introduced myself. After telling them why I had been in L.A. with fear and trembling, I told them about Ray's CD, "What Hollywood Believes." Despite being full of fear and trembling, I told these flight attendants that I would like to make the CD available to anyone on the flight (at no expense). Did I mention I was full of fear and trembling? So during the flight, the older flight attendant approached me and asked to speak with me. (I thought she was going to tell me that there would be FAA Agents waiting to arrest me in Denver.) So, I grabbed a copy of the CD and went to the front of the plane to speak with her. To my surprise, she asked, "So do you want to make the announcement or do you want me to?" Stumbling for words, I asked, "Ummmmm, what announcement?" She replied, "The announcement about those CD's you were telling us about." I was dumbfounded. I cowardly said, "How about you make the announcement?" She said, "Alright, I sure will." A few minutes later, over the cabin's public address system, she promoted Ray's CD. Lord, you are amazing! As passengers were exiting the plane, and because I was so conveniently seated towards the front (good thing I was running late to LAX), I was able to give out about 25 CD's. |
