We have continued our outreaches to the local colleges. We have a weekly outreach to the University of North Texas on Wednesday evenings. Todd has been faithfully leading this weekly outreach for several years now. Each week a group meets and goes to campus to share the Gospel. Each week they have great one on one conversations with students.
In Dallas we go once a month to the free speech zones at Brookhaven College and Richland College. At these schools we are able to reserve a space at the free speech zone. The space includes a table. We give out bottles of water along with tracts (often the Free Water tract), Bibles, DVDs and other resources. These campus outreaches are a great opportunity to share the Gospel with the students. We often will ask them what they are studying, then ask if they believe in evolution. If they say yes, then we ask what evidence they like best about evolution. Rarely do they have anything. It creates a conversation and allows us to explain that God created everything. A good resource to share with the students is Ray Comfort’s Evolution vs God movie. These college outreaches have allowed us to add a number of new names to our prayer list for salvation. Please pray for Petra who heard the Gospel for the first time yesterday.
My friend Paul and I made a trip to the University of Texas at Dallas one day at lunch. We did not setup any type of tract table. We just walked onto campus and talked to students. The first conversation I engaged in lasted nearly an hour. Like the above conversations, I simply asked them what their favorite piece of evidence for evolution was. They said they could not provide it off the top of their head. But then indicated they could look it up. So I handed them each my business card and asked them to email it to me. I have yet to hear from them. Eventually during our conversation I was able to take them through the entire Gospel. One of them who claimed to be an agnostic became more convinced that there had to be a God. I am praying that they will contact me so we can continue our discussion.
