CROSS ENCOUNTERS OF THE ONLY KIND

You've never shared the gospel with strangers on the street before, but you want to.

But, how do you approach strangers on the sidewalk whose last thing on their minds is the gospel? How do you break the ice to get a gospel conversation going?

Good news: you don't have to be the one to do so!

Let them be the ones to approach you. Let them be the ones to break the ice.

How? Easy.

Stand on a street corner with a homemade "Are You Ready" cross. They will approach you. They will start the conversation by asking the obvious question: "Ready for what?".

"Eternity." is your response. "If you were to die today, would you be ready to face God on Judgment Day to give an account for every thought, word and deed during your lifetime here on earth? Are you ready?"

Done! The ice is broken. A conversation has begun and you are poised and ready to present them with the Law and the Gospel.

God brings the very people He has determined who are in line to hear the good news to you. It's really that simple! The onus has been put on the stranger to approach YOU!

Watch as James, my gospel giving partner last week, and I work a couple of evenings in the market area of downtown Ottawa. Watch how many people are drawn to us by the questioning cross. Watch how busy we get witnessing to two separate individuals or groups at the same time.

Then be pleasantly surprised of what you learn of James in the last minute of this video.

I pray this will be a source of encouragement for those who have a burning desire to give the gospel to people on the street but are not sure how to begin.

Here is a short tutorial on how to make your own "Are You Ready" cross for you evangelizing ease.

Go for it!
