For those of you who don’t know, I evangelize every other Tuesday. We wander about the STA Bus Plaza downtown and share the gospel with all who are willing to hear. In warmer months, we sometimes head to River Front Park. And as our team grows, we may have groups at both places as well as branching out into other parts of Downtown.

We also do prayer and healing for those who want prayer and or healing. I’ve seen some strange things down there that just make you say, “Yea God!”, from the drunk man who instantly sobered the moment we laid hands on him as we spoke the Gospel Message, to the man who broke down crying when we told him what Jesus had done for him.

Yesterday was my first time I actually took to speaking more than a few sentences, which put me out of my comfort zone, but I soon got comfortable. We talked with a few people.
One told us that he was dating a Christian girl and went to church with her, but he didn’t really believe in it. He has a few hang ups which I tried to answer, but I don’t know if he accepted the words I had to say. He eventually had to catch his bus, but I hope that my words will have some effect.

We never know what part we may play in someone’s decision to come to Christ. I know there were several in my journey, each delivering a piece of the puzzle, until I finally came to see enough of it to want to seek the last piece, and that was Jesus. From Pastor Wymer, to a youth pastor named Nate, select friends, family, a mormon girl (strangely enough), and finally Pastor Joe Wittwer of Life Center. All have had a hand in my journey, and I have no doubt that God tossed them in my path to reach me. That’s a blessing in itself and a testament to God’s love. If it was me, I make maybe one or two tries to get someone’s attention then give up and move on. Aren’t you glad God’s not like me? That He’ll keep trying until it’s clear that there is absolutely nothing further He can do to persuade you?

This is why I am driven to go evangelize, so that God can use me as His instrument and advance his Kingdom. I’d do it more often if I had the opportunity, but I’d need at least another person to go with me.

Yesterday I also talked with a man by the name of Leshai (I’m guessing on the spelling, sounds like leh-SHY). He’s a man on fire for God and is a teacher at his church, though I can’t even remember the name of it. He has an interesting testimony, and had a near-death experience quite a few years ago. I might have to check out his church sometime just to see what it’s like. It sounds impressive, but I do know Life Center is where I need to be.

If you guys ever want to come join us, feel free to contact me and ask. We’re always accepting more to our group. The more people we have down their, the more people God can touch through us.
