CHRISTIANS -- could you describe your best, worst or funniest witnessing/evangelism story?

Question

These should be from personal experience, not second hand. Extra attention will be given to anyone who has answers for all three.

Also, please clarify how often you witness or evangelize?

Thanks! God bless!

Bachlava: GREAT story! Loved it! Isn't is great to be used by the Holy Spirit? I'll send you a message on Monday re: your other question. Peace.

Answer 1

I gave my testimony as a persuasive speech for speech class. My speech teacher almost flipped out (almost. she has nerves of steel.) because she was afraid the principal was going to come in in the middle of my speech or something. This stirred up a bit of controversy amongst other students and I don't think anyone accepted Christ in that classroom that day, but it did get a lot of people asking questions and a lot of doors were opened for fellow believers to witness and answer questions. It was way cool.

I gave this same speech to my youth group as well. That was awesome! One of the girls in the Middle School gave her life to Christ! But don't give me credit. It's all God's doing. I'm not looking for attention.

Could you give us your stories? That would rock!

Answer 2

At college, there was a group called the Marananthas who, in fair weather in the springtime, would preach to the students. The men would stand on a small wall, while their flunkies would form a semi-circle to make it look like people were interested. Women, of course, never spoke, but they would filter through the crowd witnessing to people. We had a group we called the "Loyal Opposition" who would debate with them when they showed up. I had two stories from them.

One time, they had chairs and were showing people how God answered prayers with miracles. They would sit people in the chair and show them how their legs were different lengths. They did this to me, and I played along to see what they did. Afterwards, Viola! They showed how my legs were now the same length. A miracle! I was arguing with a guy there about how it was just a trick when another one of their flunkies came over and showed me again. (Again showing my legs to be different lengths and again, viola!, making them the same length...) For some reason, the contradiction was lost on them, even when I explained it a couple times.

Another time, they were ranting how men should not be effeminant, because it somehow offended the Looord. Well, one of the guys witnessing came over to talk with us. We asked him what he meant by "effeminant". He said something like, men should make decisions. A woman in our group, a fairly strong-willed woman, said, "So, you don't think women can make decisions?!". He said something like, "Well, um, uh, oh, well, I meant, uh, men shouldn't be too emotional." Of course, she replied, "So, you think women are too emotiona?!" (This went on for quite a while with various characteristics the guy tried.) For some reason, he seemed to literally shrink as she became more offended at what he said. Guess he was too effeminant to stand up to her.
