Street Evangelism

This is another post that will be on going.  That is to say when ever i go out on the streets to witness i will wright about it under the heading of Street Evangelism.

Yesterday i went out to the big city of Rutland, actually its kinda small but its big for a city in Vermont.  I was not out for very long.  It was mid morning and it was getting hot.  I had decided to give out Gospels of John.  I used my standard approach of "hi may I give you a Gospel of John".  I like doing it this way I used to give out Million dollar bill tracts.  However after a while i didn't like it because people would take them , not knowing what they were, and i felt as if i was tricking them, which I was.  The way I do it now, being up front, is much more honest.  People now exactly what I'm giving them.  Please understand I'm not saying that all tracts are bad.  I have tracts when i set up my booth at different venues.  The approach i use with them is I ask the question can i give you something to think about? I tell them its a gospel tract if they want it.  A lot of times i just say, when a person asks what it is, "it teaches how you can have eternal life in Christ Jesus."  In any event, I had my Gospels of John and it was going well.  I stand at a busy intersection and wait for people to pass by,  Its a very good location.  I meet a lot of interesting people and this day was going to be good.  I met two woman one id say in her late 20's and her companion I would say was in her mid 70's.  After giving the books I shared the Gospel with them.  The older woman was interested in receiving Christ which she did, praise God!  After they left a man about 30 came along.  He turned out to be a fellow Christian I told him about the woman who received Christ and i asked him to pray so we did right there on the sidewalk.  i don't know if we drew attention to ourselves but it was a good time of fellowship.  It was a awesome day.
