Report: October 2009

We have officially had our first major evangelistic assignment this morning: David and I were one of several pairs of students who would each knock over 100 doors and invite the people in the community around Columbine to join us for Sunday evening lessons on “prophecies from the Bible and current events.” With the movie 2012 coming out this year, we are taking advantage of this opportunity to reach out to people who have questions about the end of the world and teach them the what the Bible has to say concerning these things. We have already done 2 sessions – excellent information. Wayne does an excellent job bringing answers from the text and addressing many of the false ideas preached around the world.

Although this was an effort to bring people to the building for information instead of an effort to have in-home Bible studies with them, David and I had a wonderful opportunity at one house that encouraged us greatly. A man and his mother welcomed us into their home. Praise be to God – we laid the foundation and they've agreed to have a Bible study with us. Out of 125 houses, we found one that was not just tolerant of what we were telling them, but hungry for people who cared and for what we have to offer. It was difficult to refrain from jumping right to the point and telling them all about the wonders of God's Word.

Thank you, thank you, to everyone of you that has helped make this effort possible. It is incredible to be taking just the first month's instruction and already having it make an impact on our effectiveness. Our interactions with people have already become more purposeful. We are seeing a world of opportunity, and we offer thanks to God daily for those who are making it possible for us to enter that world more prepared to proclaim His gospel and lead the lost to our Redeemer, Jesus.
