You see a starving un-saved person. You can only do one thing:
1) Tell them about Christ
2) Give them food
You can only do one

Give them food.
Because if they know I'm a Christian they will see that I'm doing good, like I was told.

Excellent Question!!! It's much easier to just give someone food to fill their stomachs but the Spiritual Food, being Jesus Christ if often more difficult. Just because people who are out in the street starving is interested in that VERY moment, not realizing that Jesus is the Only One who can SAVE him....For me, if I didn't have the physical condition I have, I would be out there and telling people without Christ you will die a Spiritual Death...
1.Tell them about Christ
Nothing else, including food matters......

When Jesus fasted for 40 days the devil tempted Him by telling Him to turn stones into bread. Jesus replied "man can't live on bread alone" meaning that the word of God is bread for the soul and man will starve without that also. The Bible also tells us that we should minister to everyone, sometimes with words. Remembering both of them I would feed the starving person physical bread because by doing so I would be showing them what it is to be a Christian and would also be ministering to them. Basically if I feed them I'm doing both.

Ok, if I could do only one thing it would be to tell them about Christ Jesus. I am usually with someone when witnessing so i would have that person give them food. Together we would show them how Christians come togther as one to love others. Thanks for your question! May God Bless You!

2)
No one appreciates being bible thumped.
Im a Christian but i know not everyone is and the most i would do is invite him to the church for a warm place to sleep. If that man wishes, he can ask about Jesus. He is fully capable of walking to a church and asking about God, so if he really wanted to he would.
Pray for the man so that he may find the way to Gods light on his own.

First u give them food so that they are not hungry and can better listen if u plan on tellin them about the love of christ, they r then also more attentive to wut u have to say.... because of u do it the other way they could be slightly offended and might think they r being bribed into gods love..

Tell them about Christ. They may die physically, but they will live spiritually forever in the presence of the Creator.
P.S. For those who would give him food, instead of telling them about Christ, I pity you. You think about what is right in front of you, not which would benefit him greater.

give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him to fish......
y'all know the quote
so if you can only give them food once aren't you just helping to prolong a long and painful life?
ultimately i would give them food, before telling them about christ or any religion
