Witnessing Replies....From You!
WELL I'M A NURSE I LEAVE THE TRACTS IN THE PATIENTS ROOM WHILE
THEY SLEEP SO WHEN THEY WAKE UP THE LORD IS THE FIRST THING THEY SEE. I
USE HUMOR TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE LORD
something i've been struggling with but i know is very important is to
share
the gospel EVERYWHERE you go...with every person you meet. where you
are is
your missions field. if you don't share with people the word, then their
blood when they go to hell will be on your hands. it's a very powerful
thing
to think about that just a few words or a tract could change someones
destiny forever. that's something God's been teaching me lately. c ya
We would just give you this brief encouragment--witness Jesus alive.
Tell people that He is God, that He can help them with any problem and
that He loves them in a perfect way. All they need to do is confess Him
as Lord (God)--and believe in their heart that He is alive (Romans 10:9
is the one scripture that is invaluable for witnessing---!). Tracts are
good to leave with people--so they can read the word of God for
themsleves--but as the
Bible says--the way that anyone gets saved is for us to be "sent" to
them
(romans 10:14-15). You have the job of apostleship (Romans 1:5) and God
will
always give you the words you need to help other people understand Him.
But
also know that the job of spreading the Gospel is like sowing seed. We
are
called to sow seed even into bad soil--and even when we sow in good
soil--it
takes time for the harvest. In other words, you will get resistance to
the
Gospel--you will get laughs, sneers, rejection, judgements--people will
always
try to change the subject when you bring up "religion" to them. Tell
them
it's not religion or church you are talking about--but their
relationship
with a living God--and their eternal soul--and the most important
question
we will all have to answer to: "who was Jesus Christ?" It is all about
Him--but
always remember that whatever you might go through in spreading the
word--He
goes with you--he was laughed at and sneered at and rejected by people
too--He knows what it all is like and he goes with you everywhere you
go--so just simply let Him speak through you--and you'll be all right!
Well---what are you waiting for! You witness
the Gospel too---the Lord leads you to share Jesus with other people.
Here is your chance to share your ideas, experiences, anointing--with
others, to
bless others. How?

hello,
i share the gospel with tracts, and saying God Bless to people. also,
i work in small store and have to wear a nametag. so i put a ribbon on
it
saying (for christmas) Jesus is the reason for the season. and for New
Years,
God Bless and Happy New Year. it is just little things, but i always
pray
it works. also, i wear angel pins on my shirt and sometimes my cross
necklace.
i think these kind of things make people think.
God Bless, Renae
We are a group of three students who have given our lives to Christ we
do door to door evangelism and also contact strangers in the street,
visit clinics,shops and things of the sort as God leads.
I just hope that someone will relate to it and find JESUS. If people
would only realize that he died for us and that the gift he offers us
is free. This Christmas I just wanted to stand on the corner and hand
him out. It's strange how everyone wants something for nothing these
days but yet won't except Jesus. The best gift of all.I will be looking
forward to receiving the tracts.
Thank You.
Thank you for your kindness and
interest.
I share the gospel whenever and whereever possible. I am an
independent paralegal for the past 15 years. I do family law,
domestic violence, civil law, and immigration. I decided two
years ago to stop doing
divorces, so I would not be helping the devil to break up
families.
I do legal separations with the condition that my clients agree to see
a
Christian counselor. I contacted pastors in our area who are
licensed
marriage counselors or who do marriage counseling in their ministry and
have a list of those who I can send couples to for free, as the
majority
of my clients are poor. I pray with my clients when they permit
me,
no matter what kind of case they have. I am doing a women's
ministry
series in church, and trying to minister to my family (husband and
children)
whenever I can; right now they don't want to hear. My husband
left
me nearly two years ago, but is finally attending church and going to a
Christian counselor. I continue to believe that the Lord will
restore
our marriage of 24 years. I am trying my best to live God's Word;
He is so great, even when trouble comes, and it comes often in my
family
(two sons addicted to drugs) I thank Him and praise him daily, as we
ARE
learning from these things and God is bringing us through the storms a
little
wiser and closer to Him. Bless you all for your ministry.

the main idea i try to hammer home to the people i talk with is this:
1.....it isn't too late.
2.... many people think it is too late for them.
3.....i was told the same thing by the Lord at the time of my calling.
funny how He knows just the right way to touch each one of us as
individuals.
Dear friends in Christ: For about 3 years now, I have been distributing
tracts in the Volusia Mall here in Daytona Beach. I usually do not
approach shoppers, but I have sought out the most popular sitting
places in the mall, and those primary places is where I just quietly
walk by leaving a tract on
the bench or wood oak chair(s). Gods' Heavenly Angels that are always
with
me, thru the Holy Sprit assure me that I am not mocked in any way while
I
am on the mission field. Never once, out of all the tracts that I have
left
on benches just placing down one tract at a time, have I EVER BEEN
approached by anyone with their inquiry as to what are you doing, what
is the idea of leaving pamphlets on a chair in a shopping mall. In
Faith, I Believe that just prior to my placing a tract on a bench, GOD
intervenes but a few seconds, and therefore I honestly and truly
Believe that I am not seen by most. Boy, this has been quite
amazing,
and I was supposed to share this story with you.
A few moments ago, I just wanted to be able to have some more tracts,
because
I am running low, but the Holy Spirit wanted to convey some of my
mission
to you people, so I have done that. I only have a small monthly income,
so
I would certainly appreciate receiving some tracts from you. I
distribute about 20 per day.
Our community/environ is polymerized with religion of various types; so
itÕs difficult
with man to win them to Christ because their believe is always that I
want to convert
them to my own religion no matter what you preach they always anchor it
on that same point.
House fellowships are organized by my local church to reach the people
on various locations. We
try to preach salvation message first and after follow them up;
following this we do invite them for prayer in
house fellowshipÑtelling them to bring their problems to God in
prayer( as the people are always faced with joblessness,
barrenness, one infirmity or the other) if they see prove they always
respond personally I do share my own testimony with them.
After this we do invite them to church through a special programme
tagged Ò PROPHETIC NIGHT VIGILÕ People like it a lot
prayer
with demonstration of prophetic gift, word of knowledge and wisdom. The
last one we did (every 3RD Friday in the month) was great; the church
was packed to the full, no chairs to contain all.
My request for tract is church request not personal.
In summary; our people respond well to the Gospel:
1 when you go through their problems
2 when the Gospel presented is able to solve their problems
3 when Gospel and the gifts of the Spirit work hand in hand in their
lives
4 when they are challenged by the life you live(if you live right)
rather than just preaching only.

Hello,
I share the gospel by passing out tracts wherever I go. If I go to
a fast food place I give it to the person, who takes the money and, who
give me the food. I tell them Jesus loves them. I'm a very shy person
and God had to deal with me about going out and talking to people.
Though I finally caved in and passed out tracts, I'm still not all that
confident about talking to people. I love the Lord, I'm not ashamed of
Him, I'm just not that comfortable about talking to strangers. Also, I
think it has to do with me going out by myself physically. I have gone
out in the afternoon on the streets, in stores, and so forth. I have
been out late at night by myself, which is not comforting since I'm a
woman, however, I still pass out tracts to people or leave them on
people's cars. I have went out with a couple of people from my church
to put tracts in the cloths at the mall. I have put a couple of tracts
in the bank deposit box inside with a deposit. I have put tracts in my
neighbor's mailboxes. I have left them on the table with the tips at
restaurants. I have put one in the tip jar at Starbucks one time. I
have put them in the shoe boxes at Payless. Though I don't mind passing
out tracts, I hope that God will send me so many witness partners that
I will always have someone going out with me (physically, for I know
the Holy Spirit is with us spiritually). I do ask that everyone, who
will read my testimony, prays that God will give me more
witness partners than I can contain, for day and night witnessing. God
is good all the time. He has blessed me in so many ways I can't
complain and I am highly grateful that their is more to come. To
all of those,who has posted their testimonies on this web, I know
God will bless everyone in tremendous ways because we are planting
seeds in the lives of others. Especially if you are doing it inspite of
fears and other things that can hold you back. I pray that God will
give us the strength to continue and the blood covering for the
protection of dealing with people who are still connected to this
world. Amen!

God touched my heart when my daughter accepted Jesus. After giving her
much ado about the wrong things, Jesus came into my heart and made
himself real to me. Jesus has been blessing me ever since. I have
become a true servant and soldier for Christ by going out and
witnessing of His goodness and mercy in my life. Youth ministry and
some adults, has given me the opportunity
to tell every one the time is now and it's never too soon to receive
Jesus.
Praise God all you who have been blessed by proclaiming the good news
to
this lost and dying world. Amen!
Well I don' know where to begin really. I'm 55 and have been married
twice. once before I gave my heart to the Lord and the one I have now
for 21 years. I never thought I was a bad person but I never had the
relationship with the Lord like I should have until I excepted him
completly in my heart. I have been serving him now for almost 3 years
and trying to do my best every day. I thought before that if you gave
your heart to the Lord you had to be
perfect but I was really wrong. No not one is perfect as long as we
live in
the flesh. I am pentecost and have seen many healings in this short
time. I was ill with having breathing problems from smoking and
alergies and broncitis. I had to have breathing treatme
nts every so
often. When I went to the alter and ask the Lord to take the cigeretts
away from me and put my complete
trust in him he took them away. I had smoked for 37 years. At the time
I
was smoking 2 to 3 packs aday. I have not had any desire for the
cigeretts
any more, I have not had any breathing treatments and no more problems
with
alergies or broncitis. It has been 28 months now. I thank God for my
healing.The
Lord has given me a piece of mind that I can't explain. I have 2 sons
that
were recently incarcerated and the Lord is seeing me through this storm
also. I try and comfort anyone with that situation. I try to encourage
people
to try and find something good in everything. As for my sons I thank
God
that I'm not some of these Mothers that don't know where there children
are.
They may not be where I want them but there safe and there alive.I
guess
I could go on and on but my testimony for JESUS is open the door to all
he
promises. He died for you and loves you. He knows your not perfect but
he
can take you and mold you into a new person. He is the only one that
can
offer you everlasting life. And he is the only one that can take your
troubles
and work them out . Thank you so very much .

Well, the way that I witness is very basic. I asked the Lord for
boldness and He supplied. I walk up into the grocery store and say
something about the prices sometimes. When they bite with a laugh, I
say my name is Wanda. I ask them if they are a Christian or if they
have a church home. It depends.
One time, I believe,the Lord spoke to me after seeing these two ladies
in the store and said, "Share Jesus with them." I did not have a tract
on me at the time. So, right there, I did it with His help. They did
not ask Jesus to come into thier hearts, but some plant, some water,
and God brings the increase. That's the way that I have to look at the
rejection. I hope that I have offered some help.
When I go on the streets, I just pass out tracts until they look
interested right then or I ask them if I could share something with
them. It all depends. If you are afraid of what people will say or do,
then you can forget it. The first couple of times are the roughest. If
you don't dive in, your mind will talk you out of it.
I share the Gospel of Jesus Christ continuously. I just started a
12-Step Christian Group, a nursing home ministry, volunteer chaplain in
a Veterans Medical Center, a women support group and with my life and
my testimony.
My husband and I are members of a small Southern Baptist Church in
Hudson, Florida. I work at building witnessing relationships with
unsaved people and share the gospel as the Lord provides opportunities.
What I say will vary
from person to person, but the approach I use is based on the Romans
Road.
I requested the free tracts for use in the food pantry ministry at our
church. We have 15 - 20 families come through our pantry every Tuesday.
In addition to food, we provide free bibles and present the plan of
salvation to each one of them. More people have been won to the Lord
through the food pantry than through any other ministry in our church.
In the course of ministering to these people, we learn a great deal
about where they are spititually and about the problems in their lives.
We like to give each one an appropriate tract each week so they have
something to refer to when they get home.
As you can imagine, the cost of providing bibles, tracts and food for
that many people is pretty substantial for a church of about 80
members.
The entire cost is covered by love offerings from the church members
and
we are always looking for ways to be better stewards of what they give.
Making
copies of the tracts you are sending will be one way to cut costs.
I thank God for your ministry and for your willingness to make your
tracts free to others. You will have a part in all the lives that will
be changed because of your generosity. Thank you.
Dear Christian Friends,
About five months ago I realized that God was not satisfied with just
a
part of me. I had two friends to die suddenly and thank God someone had
confronted them about their souls. I am convinced that if we have an
opportunity to witness to someone and fail to do so, their blood can be
on our hands. I have a used car business. I use to be concerned about
selling cars. well, I decided that I would start witnessing to
everyone that I came in contact with. I really got serious with God.
I started giving 10 percent off the top before deducting any expenses
even the cost of the vehicles. God is blessing me. The firs thing I do
when I open my office in the morning is to give God a chance to speak
to me through His Word. I do not claim to always understand what I am
reading nevertheless, I give God this special time every morning. I
thank Him for another day and ask Him to send people to my lot whether
they are to purchase a vehicle or not. Now, Let the roof fall in, I know
that "all things work together for the good to them that love the Lord
and are called according to his purpose". The moment a car drives unto
my lot or I see someone walking around on the lot, something clincks
inside of me. I find that I am not as interested in selling the vehicle
as I am to determine the spiritual purpose of this customer coming to
my
lot. Sometimes, I just talk cars and then before they leave I put some
thing about the Lord in their hands. I have been giving out a flyer
that in essences tells the person to give all their problems to God and
leave them there. He will take care of their problem in His own good
time and not theirs. I amazes me at the number of customers that have
come back to the lot to purchase a vehiclle simply because I put the
flyer in their hands. I have had several to come into the office and
accept Jesus Christ as Lord of their life and infact start going to
church with me. This past week I have been passing out $100.00 fake
bills. On one side it appears to be a real $100.00 dollar bill. On
the other side has the plan of salvation and the sinners prayer. I tell
them that should they return to purchase a vehicle they can apply the
$100.00 to the purhcase of the vehicle. It comes off the retail price
of
the vehicle. I price my vehicles within reason. I don't have to get top
dollar from the customer. I try to deal with them as though JESUS
Himself is making the deal. Some customers I get to pray with. No two
customer's are alike. I even stay in touch with some of them. I put
their names in a "prayer book". I have so many names now I simply place
my hands on the book and pray for all of them at one time and then
should
the Holy Spirit bring certain names to memory I pray for them in a very
special way. I have been passing out "lighted crosses". I tell the man
or women when one or the other brings or attends the church I will give
them a free cross. If you know where I can purchase these crosses
cheaper please let me know. I pay $5.00 each for them and this does get
very expensive. However, in relation to a soul and perhaps purchasing
an
automobile the price is "nothing". I still would like to fined these
items cheaper. I decided I would try to get some "tracts" and hand them
out. On my car lot I have three signs. I try to change them at least
once a week. For today one read."All things are possible with God", sign
#2 reads, "Jesus is Alive. Faith looks up". Sign #3 "Sorrow looks back,
worry looks around, Faith looks up.
