I didn’t want to go.
But I made a commitment for an “Hour of Power” each Friday evening from 5-6pm to share my faith with as many people as I can, and hand out as many gospel tracts as possible in that one hour. I was alone and had a bit of trepidation and wasn’t even sure where I would go, so I headed down to Pier Ave. I was a bit wary of going there again because just two weeks ago we handed out over 15,000 gospel tracts and I thought the place would be saturated, but by faith I drove on down. WHAM! I hit the jackpot!
The Association of Volleyball Professionals were setting up for a big tournament on Saturday and there was a pre-contest concert just starting— and hundreds upon hundreds were arriving. Now in Hermosa Beach there are one hundred and fifty people for every one parking spot so I prayed, “Lord, if you want me to witness I need a space. Bing! A guy pulled out of his spot and I cruised right on in.
I spoke to about 8 different people about the Lord before discovering a wooden pathway on the sand leading into the just-beginning concert. I positioned myself there and proceeded to hand out over 400 gospel tracts in the remaining half hour.
And only two people returned them!
