We set-up our covert evangelism booth at the Redondo Summer Fair right next to the Democratic National Party booth. I cautioned my volunteers to not get into any political arguments, but to be gentle and respectful. Right across from us was a New-Age booth, and next to them a liberal United Methodist booth. It was going to be an exciting day…
Actually it was really mellow. An elderly lady from the Methodists was interested in my style of evangelism, but was concerned for the people who came to just shop and enjoy a sunny day at the fair. “You’re going to ruin their day with the way you talk to them.” I agreed with her. It’s a good thing to ruin a persons’ day with the truth. “People need to be warned that they will be found guilty before a Holy God and will spend their eternity in Hell if their sin isn’t forgiven. Wouldn’t you want to be warned?” She replied, “We are here to just show the love of Jesus.” “So am I. I want to tell others how God showed His love by sending His Son to die an a cross for our sins.”
Throughout the day, I noticed secret glances and whispering lips from the Methodists toward the Hope Chapel “fanatics.”
