Hi guys,
I just thought I'd share my thoughts on evangelism. I'm a HUGE advocate of servant evangelism. What is servant evangelism you ask? I really don't know exactly, but this page has a list of
amazing articles about how people reached out and touched MANY lives =)
Also here's some more
stories =)
And the best part about it, is that many say it's tons of fun to reach out in this manner =)
By the way, the gasoline article is so far my favorite!!! Basically, a bunch of guys decided to 'buy' their gas down. So rather than paying, for example, 1.20 for a gallon of gas, they decided to buy down to 1.00 for a gallon of gas! And immediately cars would flock to the gas stations. Why? Cuz it's cheap gas!!
So naturally the drivers would ask, "Why are you doing this?" And they don't realize they're setting themselves up for "danger" *LOL!!*
Because the believer would then say:
"Because Jesus loves you"
or
"To show God's love"
Next thing they know: They realize that God just touched them, though a simple act of love. And, whether they realize it or not, they've just witnessed an example of God's free gift of grace =)
Neat isn't it? =)
A friend of mine had a cool story at a B&N. She went to the Starbucks (inside B&N) and bought a frappucino. For some reason she wanted it in two cups. And she happened to notice someone sitting along, so she felt compelled to give him one. Immediately she pulls out a napkin, writes something on the napkin, gives him the napkin and the cup and says, "God loves you!" with a smile and walks away.
Oh by the way, here's what it said on the napkin:
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:8)
Now THAT'S cool stuff!! =)
God bless!
