Good evenings spent evangelizing out on the streets are easy to report. It´s fun to tell the world what the Lord has done. Saturday evening was a bit different.
But first.... last Friday evening, the Calvary Chapel crew (only two of us this time) went out and the evening was fairly normal. We distributed tracts and spoke with a few folks about what the Lord requires of them.
On Saturday evening, I went out alone because the guys who usually come out had other things going on. So I walked around the Old Town area of Wichita for about two hours. No one would take a tract from me. No one would speak with me about their beliefs. Ugh. Was I doing something wrong? Should I have gone somewhere else? Was the Lord seeing if I would persist? Only He knows.
Anyway, something not related to street ministry but about which I'm kinda excited is the overnight camp trip for the youth at my church. I'm planning to use wooden stakes to outline Noah's ark. The kids are in for a surprise when they see how big it was and how much it could have carried. They will find that it was big enough for all the animals with room left for people had they been willing to be saved from the flood.
On second thought, Noah's ark is related to evangelism. The ark's door was open for seven days before the rains came and the fountains of the deep burst open. In the same way, the opportunity for people to be saved by God's grace is open right now. It seems most people would rather perish than come through the door Jesus has provided. One day, God will close His door of grace just as He closed the door on Noah's ark. God bless you!
