A Testimony!

READ MORE

Sharing your testimony is a great way to witness “as you go”. Every Christian can tell about how they have been gloriously saved by the precious blood of Jesus! I have been sharing my testimony this weekend as while giving out tracts. Twenty years ago, I was involved in the party scene. I thought I was living the good life. I had moved to Shreveport to manage the GNC at Southpark Mall. I had just bought a 1992 Dodge Sport. I was twenty-three at this time. Before this, I managed the GNC at Pecanland Mall in Monroe. In November, my boss asked me if I could transfer to the Shreveport store. I eagerly told him that I could. I was wanting to go up in the company.
I had met a young woman at one of the clubs that I hung out with my friend, Al. We started dating before I moved. She lived in Ruston. I stopped in see her one day when I was going back to West Monroe to visit. She broke up with me that day. The day before New Year’s Eve, she called me to ask us to hold a place for her at the club where we would be at in Monroe. I was going to show her that I could be with someone else! We all got to the bar that night with partying on our minds. I started drinking mixed drinks. Sometime after midnight, I blacked-out. I remember just bits and pieces of what was to happen after that. I remember walking out to my truck. After that, I remember shutting the passenger door to the truck. Then, I was walking on the other side of the bridge down Trenton Street in West Monroe. Then, I was at the door of Al’s apartment. I woke up at 10:00 on New Year’s Day. I told Al that we needed to find my truck. I didn’t know where it was! We drove around looking for it in West Monroe and Monroe. I finally called The Monroe Police Department to ask if they had towed the truck. The woman on the line told me that it had been towed to Master’s Auto Service in Monroe. I went to see it there. The hood and front was crushed in the middle. The owner of the towing company told me that I was fortunate to be alive. I had hit a utility pole on the corner of Pine and Walnut, which was several blocks from the club.
The police had pulled some of my hair from the windshield where I had hit with my head. I had walked about two miles from where I had wrecked. The officer that worked the accident called me at midnight on January 1st to ask me about what had happened. I lied about what I did, but they knew that I had been drinking. I had to go back to Shreveport without transportation. Over the next several months I depended on my parents to come to bring me back home on most weekends. I walked to work sometimes and got a taxi at other times. One day at work, I was talking with a regular customer about some of our products. She and her husband worked for the Shreveport Police Department. We ended up talking about church and Jesus. She asked where I went to church. I told her that I was trying to go back to church. She said “You’re not doing anything! You better come back to Jesus now!”
There had been others who had witnessed to me before, but her words made me to think. I didn’t write the exact date down, but around March the 15th I repented of my sins, asked for forgiveness, and was saved at my apartment in Kingston Village Apartments on Kingston Road! Jesus came into my life! What a change! I got born-again! I told everyone what had happened to me! I couldn’t go back to the clubs anymore! I couldn’t listen to the same music anymore! I didn’t have the desire to drink anymore! I was a changed man! I was able to move back home and get my old job back in April. I started passing out tracts. I went to church whenever I could. I told my testimony everywhere I went. I am still telling it today. I am thankful for every opportunity to share my faith. Let’s tell our testimony to those that need to hear it!

New Year Resolutions Tract

The New Years Resolution tract is easy to give out as we approach the new year. I’ll tell the receiver of this tract “Happy New Year. Here’s a New Years’ tract for you. ” I gave out several at Walmart last night.

Last Minute Christmas Witnessing

READ MORE

After working for three hours today, I went to Walmart to pick up a few items that my wife needed. I had 29 Christmas tracts left to give out. Everyone took them as I went through the store. I gave out about 5 or 6 others when I ran out. I also gave Spanish Gospel coins to Juan, Domingo, Francisco, & their friend. It’s been a great season for witnessing. Merry Christmas!

A Two-In-One Tract Witness

READ MORE

I have to give credit for this to Trish Ramos who has the Fish With Trish Blog. She has done this on a YouTube video. I went through the Wendy’s drive-thru on Monday morning. While waiting for my order, I asked the cashier about the order that was behind me. I paid for his, gave the cashier The Legend Of The Candy Cane tract, and asked her to give one to him when she told him that I paid for his meal. As I was leaving, he was going the same way. He was smiling as he waved at me. Two tracts in one drive-thru visit!

Trip to two malls

READ MORE

It’s the Saturday before the Saturday before Christmas. So what do we do? No, not one mall. But two! Yes, they were packed! But it was a great chance to share the Gospel “as you go”.

At one store I left a Santa Buck in this wallet…

I handed out more than 50 tracts just walking around, especially in the parking lot to and from the car, to the people in line waiting to see Santa and to people that we talked to at the stores.

I also recorded two videos of using the iPad at the Apple store to share the Gospel. Here the iPad is playing Genius The Movie

And here it is displaying the bookmark tract

A table in the hotel is a good place to leave a tract.

We Still Say Merry Christmas!

READ MORE

This has been a good tract to hand to people lately. When I give it to someone, I’ll say “We still say Merry Christmas around here.” I gave one to a man at the Walmart pharmacy tonight. When I told him about the tract, he mumbled something and threw it on the display. This was the first reject that I have had in a while. Then, I got to give a Spanish tract to Iduarte! For every reject, there are people that will take a tract around the corner! Are you passing out tracts as you shop this Christmas season?
