This morning as I was praying, God laid on my heart to go to the mall this afternoon to share the Gospel.  I had the opportunity to talk with three different individuals. The greatest thing about it was you could tell the conversations were Spirit led and hearts were completely open to discussion.  Each of the three conversations were vastly different and each message was tailored to the individual.  I mean, no 12-step Gospel presentation here.  It is such a blessing to serve in your area of giftedness and just watch God use you - I totally enjoy using my gift of evangelism to serve to kingdom and reach people.

As I was talking to the third young lady, a security guard approached me.  He was led to my table by an onlooker who didn't appreciate what I was doing.  The security guard asks me if I was soliciting religion.  I answered, "Well, me and the young lady here are talking about spiritual stuff.  I'm not sure if that's what you call soliciting religion."  He told me that I wasn't allowed to do that.  I told him that I asked the girl if she minded and she said that she didn't.  I invited the guard to ask the girl if she wanted me to leave of if I could stay.  So the security guard asked her and she said that I was okay and wasn't bothering her.  The guard told me that I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone else after her and if he saw me, then he would escort me out personally.  I told him that when I got through talking to her, I would leave.

When the conversation with the girl was finished, I thanked her for talking and started making my way out of the food court. On the outskirts of the atrium, I saw the guard again.  I decided to go talk to him.  I figure the worse thing that could happen was that he would escort me out of the mall. Either way I was leaving, so asking him would still be a 'winning' situation. More...

Bonnie, a older lady, was filling in for the regular crossing guard one morning.  While Bonnie was standing on the corner waiting for children, she and I talked. I asked Bonnie what she thought happens to someone when they die.  Jokingly, she responded, "Are you serious?"  I answered, "Yes."  She said, "Well, I guess it depends." "On what?" I asked.  "Whether you've been a good person or not," she replied. I asked Bonnie, "What happens to good people?"  She answered, "I guess they go to Heaven.  Or, at least I hope so."  I then asked Bonnie, "Have you been a good person?"  She answered, "Yeah, I believe so." We then continued to talk...More...

A few mornings ago, after my run, I had an opportunity to talk to the Deerfield Beach Parks and Recreation Maintenance Crew.  The crew was standing around while waiting to be deployed to their day's assignments. I was able to talk to two groups of workers. More...

A few nights ago, I was walking back from the gym and met this very nice couple sitting at the bus stop. Their names were Michael and Rebekah.  They just moved approx. 2 months ago from Louisville, KY in order for them to be closer to Rebekah's children who live in Delray Beach. I asked them if I may ask them a personal question while they waited for the bus.  They said, "Sure."  I ask, "In your personal opinions, what you ya'll think it takes to get to heaven."  They both replied, "To ask Jesus Christ into your heart to forgive you of your sins."  To which I congratulated them for having the right answer and then asked, "Now, can you say that you are truly living the lifestyle that Jesus Christ has called you to live?"  They both answered, "Well, honestly, we weren't up until a few months ago, but we definately are now." I said, "Good; I'm glad to hear it."  Then I asked, "Have ya'll found a church down here yet?" They said, "No, we haven't.  Where do you go?"  I gave them directions to my church.  Michael and Rebekah said that they wouldn't be in town this weekend, but that they would be there next weekend.  I'll keep ya'll posted.
