Having been thinking about Paul's evangelistic strategies (don't stay in church and wait for people to come in, take the news about Jesus to where they are), I went to the pub in the evening to watch the England game with a guy who's just started coming to our church and three of his mates. We watched the football, discussed why Rooney's rubbish for England and whether Ferdinand or Woodgate should partner Terry; and then conversation turned to church and Christianity. Here's what these three guys said;
'I'm really interested in all this stuff, I really am. I'd love to know more and ask questions, but I've never known anyone to ask.'
'Can you just tell me, what does the Bible say about sex? I've been wondering.'
'What do Christians believe then?'
I left with one of them saying he'd come along to church sometime, and another one giving me his phone number so we can meet up when he's back off holiday to talk about Christ. And I'd hardly done anything! Just gone to where they were at, and let it be known I was a Christian (easy when you work for a church!)...and I left with a result considerably better than England's against Andorra! None of which would have happened if I hadn't been in a pub in the first place. Don't save your evangelism for church and church events - take it to your marketplaces, and you might just be surprised at how God uses you...
