Opening the Door to the Gospel

As my wife and I were entering a restaurant, I held the door open for a customer as she was exiting. I quickly handed her a gospel tract about pets and she gladly received it and began to immediately talk about how she loved cats. To be honest, I was going to walk on...

Shoes and The Gospel

Did you know you can buy shoes and share the gospel at the same time? God thinks so! After a store attendant helped me find the best shoes to support the high arches on my feet, I was looking for sole inserts to make sure I had the support I needed. Another attendant...

Unexpectant Encounter at A Hardware Store

Some days you don't feel your best and are not interested in talking to anyone. I recently had one of those days when I was recovering from COVID-19. Wearing a mask, I had already decided to go in, get what I needed, and leave immediately. Just as I had decided that...

Key Questions at the Grocery Store

  Heading home one night I decided to stop by a grocery store to pick up a few groceries. Upon entering the store, I crossed paths with a gentleman shopping, looking at a colorful display of a child window decorating kit. He commented how interesting the display...

Using Testimony at the Gym

  One of the more natural ways we can share the gospel is by using our testimony. I had written out my testimony recently and was eager to see what opportunities would arise for me to use it. It all began when I went to the gym that morning and commented on an...

How would you define a Christian?

Strolling through a large mall I stopped at a kiosk to look at the merchandise and began talking to the salesperson. He had only been in the U.S. for about 3 months, arriving from the Middle East to pursue a degree at a local college. As we were talking about his...

Fast Food and The Gospel

After church I was meeting my family at a fast food restaurant for a quick lunch. As I pulled in, a young man was sweeping up around the building so I grabbed a few tracts and headed toward him to speak to him. He did not see me but continued sweeping and headed back...

The Power of Compassion

Entering a grocery store, I spotted a gentleman sitting by the window in the front of the store. I stopped and chatted briefly with him and offered to buy him a drink. He accepted, so after I finished shopping I brought him his drink and a few other items to fill his...

Open Doors to the Gospel

I am always amazed at how the Holy Spirit opens doors to great conversations about the gospel. I went to a hardware store to purchase screws and bolts for a project and asked for some help from a young man. Many times I would search for things on my own but I was...

Easter Invitations to Our Church

I was out at the park with a friend handing out Easter invitations to our church. I engaged in a conversation with a young man watching his younger brother and sister. I asked him what Easter meant to him. Of course, bunnies and candy is the popular answer but I...

Basketball Encounter

One of the most interesting experiences I have had occurred at a gym where I was shooting basketball. A young man was on the other end of the court and honestly had the worst shot I have ever seen. He was literally throwing the ball toward the basket with two hands....

Meeting Jesus at the Mall

The Holy Spirit comes through again: After praying for guidance from the Holy Spirit, I went to a large mall in our town on a very busy, crowded weekend. As I walked into the mall, a young man was walking out and yelled across the walk to speak to someone behind me....
