When he’s not complaining about how cold it is in Canada or how much snow he has to shovel from the roof of his house, Paul LaTour contributes witty, encouraging commentary to this blog and is a fervent Gospel preacher. Paul sent me a few pictures about how things are done in the frozen North: I’m
The following E-vangie Tale is by a brand new student who showed up the third week of our 6-week class. On the third week, I surprise the students by taking them out unexpectedly to share their faith. And boy, was she surprised—and touched.

I started the Evangelism (without fear) class two weeks late and Steve decided to take us all to mall to hand out tracts – WHOA! what an introduction! I have never given out a tract in my life, so I was a little more than nervous.

We talked, then my buddy’s Mom came out and handed me a gift certificate for $300.00 for martial arts lessons. I was so happy that I almost forgot what my
This is the third E-vangie Tale written by a student from my evangelism/drama class. 10-year-old Kristina Pagett is the author: I was at Target with my mom when a lady walked toward us. I said, “Did you get one of these?” She said “No, thank you,” which in other words was, “No I don’t want it.” Mom said
Punched at the Pier!
It’s an unfortunate truth that with sharing the Gospel comes persecution; Jesus promised it implicitly: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” “Blessed are you when people insult you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me…” “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.” Most believers don’t
