Last
night I had the privilege of teaching the middle age school children at Cactus
Christian Fellowship on 2401 E. Cactus in Phoenix.
They meet every Tuesday night for a study from 6:30 -8pm with the Worship
Pastor Nathan Umbanhower.
This
Church recognizes the need to reach out to the lost. They are not only
concerned about bringing them in, as many Churches do, they realize that those
who cross our paths may not be able to come
our Church because of there location, but while they are in front of you, you have the opportunity to share the truth
with them. Remember this is not about you or about them coming to your Church, it’s
about their Eternal Destiny.
It’s
truly a blessing from the Lord that He would open the door to allow me to share
what I have learned over the last 7 years on how to open a conversation with
those who cross our paths on a daily basis. Example when your eating out,
grocery shopping, buying gas, getting stuff for your house, the appointment at
the Doctor or Dental office, in other words anywhere.
Here’s
one for you that Catherine shared with them last night on how she shares the
Gospel with telemarketers…how many of you do that? Would you like to learn?
I will be teaching this Biblical principle for
the next 3 weeks. It will be exciting to hear back from these youngsters on how
they were able to speak to strangers in our community. You don’t have to knock
on doors to reach the lost, just do as Jesus did speak to them when you see
them in public. Remember He asked us to follow Him NOT do our own thing. Then
He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you
fishers of men." (Mat 4:19)
