On March, 10, Dr. David Wood came and did a 3-Hour Soul Winning Training at our church. Boy did it fire us up for soul winning. After the training, we went out knocking on doors and had a man saved! He came to church the very next day and made a public profession of faith.
Then on Sunday, I had the opportunity to lead a young lady to Christ who came back the next Sunday and was baptized! It is so exiting to see the church fired up about giving the gospel out.
Recently, we gave the gospel to THELMA LOU. That's right...the one from the Andy Griffith Show. Here's what happened...
Last Saturday our ladies took a trip to Mt. Airy (Andy Griffith's home town). They heard that Betty Lynn (The lady who played Thelma Lou) is still living there. So they put together a fruit basket but also included a "God's Promises" book and one of our Ladybugs Gospel tracts and took it to the Andy Griffith Museum and told them it was for Betty Lynn. The lady at the museum promised them she would make sure she got it that day!
Hey, you never know! I appreciate our ladies thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX and INSIDE THE BASKET!!! That's what we mean by "witnessing as we go." Way to go, ladies! We are praying that we will see some SPIRITUAL fruit from that basket!
