Witnessing Witnessing

Alright, its been a while and I have to put this down before Tell it To'em tomorrow comes and I get way too far behind.

So, this last Tuesday was a "No Go" with the evangelism because I had a big group meeting for class. We spent way too long on this Electronic Business Game, but it turned out we tied for first place in the first round so we are looking pretty good for now.

But after the meeting as I was walking to the shuttle bus I saw this guy who looked familiar. I had seen him passing out Gospel Tracts before. My ChristianDar was going crazy and I had to check him out. He was with another guy I had never seen before and they were going around witnessing to people. When I found them again the new guy was sitting with a guy at a table and John, the guy I recognized, was sitting behind him at another table. He was watching them intently, and probably praying the entire time.

I am listening to this guy share the Gospel with this other guy. Then I notice that Keith, the new guy with John, is really laying out the Gospel. He was hitting it all. I mean from prophecy, to the disciples, to lambs, to resurrection, to aliens (I added that one for exaggeration purposes. This sentence was begging for some exaggerating.) Kudos to him, he was slamming scripture on this kid like crazy.

Afterwards the kid was all, "That was a lot. You are too condemning. God is love." This is a summary of what he was saying. At this point I started praying that Keith would bring up Galatians 3:24. After I get down praying a minute or so goes by and John gets up and sits at their table. Then he says, "Excuse me. Let me interrupt for a just a second and share Galatians 3:24. It says that the law was given as a tutor to lead us to Christ."

It was awesome. After they were done talking to that guy we find out that he is the president of an on campus Christian Club or Group or something. When they were done, John had noticed that I was watching and listening in the whole time and if you have been witnessing for a while you know that if you see somebody showing any kind of interest when you are witnessing to someone else then they are the next person you are talking to.

They locked on to me the moment they left his table and were on me like dogs on Jezebel (that is probably one of the lamest things I have ever said...if you didn't get that you better read your bible. 1 Kings 21:23). So they came over and we had a great time in fellowship. We shared testimonies. I asked for tips on witnessing and we exchanged numbers and email. John goes to Grace Community Church.

Man, if you haven't tasted Christian Fellowship you need to get yourself some. Hmm, hmm, good. When is the last time you had genuine fellowship with a brother or sister?

  1. Love how He works in a change in the routine to give you something you probably didn't even realize you needed that day.

    And no, that's not the lamest thing you've ever said. I'm sure I could come up with a ton of better examples.
