Day 15 – Lucky at Chik-fil-A
We were at the mall eating lunch at Chik-fil-a. I had already ordered and given the cashier a tract. While waiting for my order, another cashier asked if he could help me. I told him, “I’ve already ordered, but you can have one of these” and handed him an “are you lucky” tract. He smiled and said thanks!
The point here is like Peter wrote, “always be prepared.” I could have just as easily said, “no” or something. But by making the most of that couple of seconds, I at least was able to give him a Gospel tract that he could read.
While at the mall, we gave a “Get out of hell free” card to one guy. Later, while talking with some teens, he walked by and asked if he could have some more of them. We, of course, gave him as many as he wanted to go and hand out.
Later we were talking with one of the employees at the Verizon kiosk. We had just gotten to the point in the conversation of explaining that Jesus had paid his fine and handed him a Million Dollar Bill tract. Just then his co-worker came back into the kiosk. So I gave him a Million Dollar Bill tract too. The co-worker sat down and read the entire tract while we were finishing up the conversation with the first guy. Then I asked the second guy, what he thought of the tract. That lead to an opportunity to have a discussion and share the Gospel with him. It was really great to see that people read the tracts we give them!
