On Saturday, six of us hit the streets of Dallas to witness at the Harlem Globetrotters shows at the American Airlines Center. There were two performances. We decided to witness between the two shows so that we could talk to the people leaving the first show and those going to the second show.
We arrived at the arena about half an hour before the first show ended. We had some one on one conversations with employees that were on “smoke break” and enjoyed some fellowship with each other. Eventually the first show ended and people began leaving the stadium in groves. With six people we were able to effectively cover both the North east and the North west corners of the building and hand out tracts to people as they went to their cars.
After a little while, two of our team members decided to leave due to the extreme cold. It was only about 27 degrees that day in Dallas.
With the second show starting at 2:30 and the doors not opening until 1:30, there were queues of people lining up by all of the doors. We decided to open air preach to the crowds waiting outside of the building. I went first. I preached the Law and the Gospel. I asked people to consider the Million Dollar Question, “where will you spend eterntity” while I pointed out that “my friends” were handing them Million Dollar Bills.
After preaching through the Law and Gospel twice, I handed the AMP off to Tom. Tom preached a good long time too. We all had a number of one on one conversations with people. In all we handed out over 1500 Gospel tracts.
Near the end of the day the security guards from the arena said we had to go because “people were saying they were offended.” We went home rejoicing that we had preached the Gospel clearly enough for people to be offended by the message!
