I used to get down and discouraged when people did not listen when I attempted to present the Gospel. Now, I no longer feel like that. "Shake the dust," as a brilliant Teacher once said (Mark 6:11; Luke 9:4-5). God has helped me to realize that I should continue anyway.
If someone could not care less about his/her eternal damnation, go on to someone who does. Do not cast the pearls to the swine (Matthew 6:7). If they poke fun or mock you, laugh it off (as I now do). You have done your part, and that IS ALL that matters.
When you feel discouraged, it is just how Jesus felt. He knew everything, yet people eventually murdered Him. He tried to help, but they crucified Him. This is just how Paul felt when Felix said Paul "almost" convinced him to become Christian(Acts 26:28).
You are not alone in your struggles. God feels your pain. When you feel bad, remember in prayer those who are suffering. Remember your brothers and sisters are going through the same pain.

We need more people around like you. I get really discouraged that people don't listen to me, or they make fun of what I believe, but then I remember that God made me a warrior. And that He made me to teach His word.

I agree, but don't forget to pray for your enemies as well. It's for GOD to judge. We can only tell them the truth, the rest is up to the individual. Thank you and may GOD bless.

don't forget
Ezekiel 3
17Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
thank you
