Guest E-vangies: Tripped Up!

By Lori Porter There is a 55-year-old Chinese man who played basketball with us on our women’s team. A couple of Fridays ago I decided he would be my “person of the day” when we practiced. I discussed the million-dollar bill Gospel tract with him, but he was very nonchalant about Hell. I called Pat

Guest E-vangies: Do-it-Yourself

This is from an on-fire student, Natalie Foley, who is currently taking my evangelism class.

At my first class of “Sharing Your Faith Without Fear” I took my million-dollar bill Gospel tracts with me to Home Depot where I was ordering appliances. null The mild-mannered young clerk, “Reggie,” led me to the special services desk to schedule the installation date. When a co-worker joined him behind the counter I pulled out the million dollar bills and asked, “Did you guys get one of these yet?” They took them politely, then set them down while they continued working. Then they ran into a problem ringing up my order and called for “Maria,” a supervisor, who promptly arrived. When “Maria” saw the million dollar bills on the counter she picked one up and said, “What’s this?” nullBefore I could answer she turned it over and started reading the questions on the back.

Guest E-vangies: Pier Pressure

When we got to the base of the pier there was a group of 3 (slightly grubby-looking) people sitting on the wall. I walked up to them with Ryan and Howard and handed them the million-dollar bill Gospel tracts. As I talked with them, I began to get the impression that they were high on something.

The first guy and the girl took them and said thank you, but when I handed a bill to the second guy, he took it, looked at it, and asked, “Is this from Hope Chapel?”
I said, “Yes, Hope Chapel was our home church.” His face darkened, and he asked, “With Pastor Zac?”
As I started to respond, I noticed his fingers taking up tearing positions on the bill. But what else could I do? I said “Yes, Pastor Zac was our Senior Pastor.” He proceeded to tear the bill in half,
