My friend and fellow Hope Chapel evangelist Tony Yu has a special burden for the Jehovah’s Witnesses who are lost in this works-oriented cult. As a result, he makes a special effort to witness outside their meeting places called Kingdom Halls by preaching, sharing one-to-one and using special Gospel tracts. Here’s a report of what went down at Easter when he actually attended a JW “church” service.
Jehovah’s Witnesses passed out fliers all over my neighborhood inviting people to attend [“Easter”] service today at their Kingdom Hall. Steve Pivovaroff, Carlos Ramos and I went inside the service thinking that it was primarily intended to attract new members. We thought we would be presented with their beliefs and given a chance to ask questions. We wanted to use the question phase to ask some questions and share the True Gospel. To our surprise, it was a full-on service to commemorate Jesus’ death. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus so they do not call it Easter or Resurrection Day.
Traffic Tracting
Here’s an idea when you see bumper to bumper traffic. When the cars aren’t moving at all and the drivers are waiting, waiting… why not take advantage of the gridlock by giving the Gospel?
