One of the greatest privileges we have as Christians is to share the gospel with unbelievers. It is also a command Jesus gave to all of us before He disappeared into the clouds to be seated at the right hand of the Father. Last night our community group teamed up and went to various locations in Media, PA to speak to whoever God would bring our way. Bill & I were nervous but excited. We met a woman sitting all alone and asked if we could ask her a few questions, (we had a little questionnaire to guide us along). The questions were:1. What is your spiritual background?
2. What 3 words would describe your religious experience?
3. If you could ask God one question what would it be?
4. If God asked you "Why should I let you into heaven?" what would you say?
5. On a goodness scale 1 being evil & 10 being good, where would you rate yourself?
She gave some interesting answers & shared how her life has been whirling out of control but that she always tried to do the right thing & would consider herself a good person. Bill & I then shared with her that we all fall short of making our way into heaven. God gave us the 10 commandments to reveal to us that we are all sinners. Have you ever lied? Have you ever taken something that wasn't yours? Have you ever dishonored your father or mother? I shared that I have broken these commandments many times & she agreed that she had as well. We then shared our stories of how God saved us and gave her the Good News. That Jesus died on the cross as our substitute so that we would not have to suffer the JUST consequences of our own sin...eternal separation from God. Instead if we would believe and make Jesus the Lord over all our lives, He is faithful to give us life everlasting, hope and a future filled with purpose and real meaning.
We then prayed for her and gave her some info about our church & Alpha. Bill & I left there blessed & amazed that God would use us to care for this woman. We pray the seeds that were sown last night would grow into a life of faith for this lost soul. Have a great weekend everyone!

First of all, my wife is a pitbull at times to share the joy she has in the Lord. The night of the outreach was no different. She was an example of love, compassion, and sincerity. God truly used her that night and really sowed seeds. It is not our job to save this woman, but we did throw alot of seeds her way. Great job honey for your willingness to overcome fear of man and share the joy Christ has for everyone.
