Outreach and evangelism can be scary. And since freedom month is over, we may all feel relieved from the pressure of inviting our friends to church or even thinking about the salvation of those around us. We can go back to our busy schedules – back to school, back to study, back to cramming, back to work, church, life group, mentoring and the like and feel like thinks are good, the sense that we have accomplished.
Meanwhile, we do not hear the cry of those around us. Those who are lost in their darkness or someone who just needs a listening ear to talk to.
I had an encounter at the gym this week with a man in his mid forties. He is seriously one of the biggest guys I have even seen. His back is massive! I might take a lesson or two from him. Anyway… I’ve only just gotten to meet him through another friend the week before. He is usually quite jovial and sociable with everyone at the gym. But this day was different. Went to greet him and he had not much to say. Didn’t realise that he had a really bad day.
After another attempt to have more conversation, he began to open up about how bad his day was. I don’t know the guy. I have not said much to him in the past. He doesn’t know me. But we talked and he shared openly. Wow. I didn’t know what to think of the moment, only just that I want him to be saved. It was quite refreshing for both of us to have some honest conversation. We shook hands and left. Hope this is the beginning of a relationship that leds him to Christ.
It’s not magic. We just have to open our eyes to what’s around. See people. Really see people.
I think we can win people like this.
