Evangelism Firecrackers There are a few young people in my ministry who are simply on fire for God. Everywhere they go, the tell people about Jesus and invite them to church. There are a couple of girls in particular that I am thinking of who are all out for Christ – Megan and Jessica. Megan started coming to our Sunday evening services about a year and a half ago and since then, no lie, she has invited at least 25 people who have actually showed up. Many of them are still active parts of our ministry today because of the efforts of Megan. One of them in particular is Jessica. Jessica started coming shortly after Megan invited her, but, I must admit, her road to faithfulness was a little bumpy. Here’s what I love about both of them: Megan has been faithfully committed to the Lord since high school. From the time she started going to youth group she would invite car loads full of her friends to go with her. She is one of those people with an infectious personality. People love being around her and she brings out the best in others. I call her my little “firecracker”. She’s on fire for the Lord! Megan invited Jessica to come to our ministry because she knew that Jessica has a great heart but was in the middle of a very dramatic lifestyle. Jessica started coming to the church “as is”. I love it! I mean she was in the middle of bad relationship, had a lot of baggage that she needed to deal with and brought to the table an extremist personality. Everything she does, she does all out and brings with her a passion and excitement that is unbridled. At first, there were many times when she had her ups and downs. God had to really work on her heart to get her to be sold out and fully committed to him. But now, she will tell you, there is no turning back. So, Megan and Jessica are leading my firecracker evangelism explosion. They proclaim Jesus wherever they go. There are many times we will be out, at the movie or a restaurant and they will talk with the waiter or worker about Jesus and invite them to church. The other day we were at a local favorite eating establishment in the midst of a going away party for one of our guys. I see Jessica walk over to the table across the room and start talking to the guys. They were kicking back a few drinks celebrating the 21st birthday of one of the guys in their group. Right then and there, Jessica invited them to church and then called me over to introduce them to her Pastor. We looked forward to seeing them walk through our doors one Sunday evening. Every ministry needs to find these types of firecrackers and then light them! Megan and Jessica are evangelism firecrackers at their best. Megan invited Jessica and followed up with her until she was spiritually healthy enough to invited others and follow up with them. These two young ladies are impacting our ministry, our city and the whole body of Christ. Can you dig it!?!?! Word… Pasta’ Alex posted by Pasta' Alex # 4:41 PM   Comments: Post a Comment << Home |
