What’s Your E-vangie Tale? #32

May 31, 2009Steve Sanchez12 CommentsWhat's Your E-vangie Tale?

Jude exhorts, “…snatch others from the fire and save them…” (Jude 23)

What are you doing to snatch others from the fire? Here is the place to write about your evangelistic encounters!

Our new evangelism class, “Sharing Your Faith Without Fear” just started with 32 students. Who will remain at the end of the six weeks?

As an extra added bonus, we have our church’s deaf ministry participating! When I asked them why they were taking the class they said, “Because you asked us to.” Now that’s a good sign!

See the creative way another deaf person was able to share the Gospel by clicking here.

If you’d like a free curriculum of this 6 week course, with over a 100 pages of material including teaching notes and student work, drop me an email or leave me a comment. All you pay is the postage.

Went to Whole Foods and remembered that lots of people would stop at a free sample. Put a million dollar bill next to the paper cups.
Went to the produce section and saw the same lady I saw earlier. Went back to the free sample drink station to get the bill for her. But, someone else got the bill already!

Will you folks STOP laying on the guilt trips and SHUT UP about evangelism!!! I am not, repeat NOT! an evangelist. I haven’t got the gift. I’m a Bible teacher.
Yes, that was me until this year.
I have started a blog
http://notanevangelist.blogspot.com/
chronicling my slow (yes, be patient with me folks – I’m still wary about these over-zealous evangelist types) emergence from cowardly chicken to bold lion.
Hope you enjoy it!

I passed out two tracks today to a couple kids in my class that I got put into a group with. The first said “oh thats cool”, the second said that these were passed out at his church too. I asked him what church he went to and he said Hope Chapel!

I was at Galeria Mall and thought… what a perfect place to pass out tracks. As the first couple people walked by I chickened out and then I made myself just do it thinking, “With God on my side who can be against me?” I passed it out to the next person and he took it interested.

On Thursday after the class, we went to the store. i was sitting in the car waiting for my husband finish his last inute shopping. i thought to myself,”Diana wht is the heck are you doing here sitting in the car? didnt yo just learn from Steve? “do something do something!!!” i got out of the car brought 2 tracts. i pased out in about 30 seconds!! i thought to myself “Boy, is that EASY!!!”
On the military parade day, I went there with a group of 5 (i think). I passed out the tract like Steve said “mano y mano”. There was an old Veteran cursing at me. I am deaf and I could lipread his every single word!! “Why the (beep) do you bring the (beep) relilgion to this (beep) parade. I want to have fun and you are trying to (beep) destroy our day!!! hey hey!!! you (beep) woman….” i walked off with a smile and signed “thank you” to that upsetting man. He was dumbfound!
You know after passing out i have felt great and then later little bit nauesous feeling becuz I must have been letting my mental guard down little bit… Thinking, wow am i forcing people to receive this tracts? then my other thoughts ” hey! what are you going to say when you stand in front of God and explain your action?” so i kept on until the parade was almost over. (smile i am still learning and am still staying on the course!!)

We recently handed out tracts, and spoke to people at our “Tailgate sale” for church, was able to hand out hundreds of tracts and had several conversations, and testimonies from people. I started out fearful, and by the time I left (4 + hours later) we were approaching everyone, hoping for more people… Had people refuse tracts, ignore my conversation, and some listen to the truth… lots of seeds we planted. Praise God!

At the Armed Force parade, I stood at Madrona and Torrance, passing out million dollar bills to incoming traffic. An Indian (?) couple walked past, so I looked for other people coming in after them.
The Indian lady came back to get a closer look at what’s in my left hand. I quickly took out a bill and offered it to her. She accepted with a smile. She went back to the Indian guy and showed the bill to him. The Indian guy looked at it and smiled at me. He resumed taking pictures of the parade.

After the boat ride I shook the captains hand, I handed out a million dollar bill to him. He smiled widely because he thought it was for a tip. I said to myself, “Easier to give a gospel tip right after shaking hands.”

I handed out a million dollar bill to a man in the locker room. He accepted it easily. Glad to hand out one out to him in person because I put bills in lockers several times.
