Amazing Story

So tonight we had a small group from our church plant over to our house. We are studying and training a few leaders of the church in evangelism. Right during the middle of the meeting I heard my doorbell ring. I thought it might be some kind of electricity salesman or a roofer, but it was not. The group was optimistic because we had just been talking about finding opportunities to share our faith.

So I answered the door. It was a man named Craig. He asked me if I had seen the dog he was holding. He found it and was trying to return it to its rightful home. I did not, but I did take the opportunity to ask Craig if he went to church anywhere and invited him to our church. He replied that he was an agnostic and didn't really think there is any way to know the truth about God. After explaining a little bit about what he believed, I asked him if I could share what I believe.

I went on to share my testimony and the entire Gospel. I told him about how sin separates us from God, Jesus made a way for us to have a relationship with Him, and that by trusting in Jesus alone and committing your life to Him you can be saved

After thinking it through and making a few excuses Craig decided to ACCEPT CHRIST! I am planning on following up with him and his family, because he said they don't know Jesus either! Praise God that during the middle of our evangelism small group meeting God brought someone to our door that left with his life forever changed!
