On of our favorite local fishing holes for nice weather is Brookhaven College in Dallas. We went out there a few times last year. The college has a nice free speech zone by the fountain in the middle of campus. By turning in a form we can request use of the area. In order to get the kids to come and talk to us, we put up a sign advertising free water.
Last Monday, as we were putting up the sign, we already had our first customers! In an hour we handed out a case of Origin of Species books that I had left over from last November. We also handed out about fifty bottles of water and shared the Gospel one on one and in small groups the entire time. All four of us were constantly engaged in conversations.
I spoke with a man who was raised Catholic, a couple of muslims and a couple of kids who were agnostic. I also had a wonderful conversation with two young ladies who had never heard the Gospel before, but they were very receptive.
We also handed out about a half dozen copies of Mark Cahill’s One Heartbeat Away book. I pray that these kids will read these resources that they got and come to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
We look forward to going back to Brookhaven College a couple more times before the end of the spring semester.
Very encouraging, brothers. Thanks for sharing the event and the proclamation and heralding of the Christ – who was, and is, and is to come.
