Today we went to Fort Lauderdale. We handed out a lot of tracts, had many one on one conversations and preached in the open air. I’d like to share a few stories.
As we walked down the street handing out tracts, a tour bus was in the street. Now you have to understand that the street was really packed with cars so they were not going very fast. Cars were going so slow or stopped that I could walk up to the cars and hand the driver or passenger (depending which side of the street I was on since it was one way at this point). The tour bus was an amphebian type thing with an open top. The tour guide had a microphone and asked “any one on the sidewalk going to the game?” I responded, “anyone on the bus going to heaven?” I then proceeded to share the law and gospel “stop light preaching” style and got the whole message in before they drove off.
A short time later a lamborghini drove down the street. I handed the drive a tract.
Then as I was walking I came across a young man. I asked him if he had time for a question and he said yes. I ended up sharing the Law and Gospel with him. At the end I said, “you may have repented while we were talking.” He said he had! Praise God. He has no Bible. So I got his address and told him I’d mail him one when I got home. Please pray for Junior.
As the afternoon wore on we ended up speaking with more and more people who had had too much to drink. A couple of these drunk folks wanted to argue with us about their sin. We shared the truth with them.
Later in the evening I open air preached. Shared the Law and gospel. And ended with Psalm 51, the suggested reading for Project Ezra this weekend.
Deb brought her “are you ready” cross. I carried it to and from the beach. The cross is like a magnet to talk to people. “Ready for what?” they would say? We gave them “are you ready” tracts and what ever other tracts we gave them.
I even had a few minutes to wall on the beach.
A great day serving our great God!
