Everyday Evangelism- The Message Bottle
In Facebook, there is an application you can go to and make a message that goes inside a bottle into a virtual sea. The recipients of the message bottle are other people who have sent messages out. You send a bottle with a message in it, and you receive other people's bottles. The bottles go all over the world. I have sent 2 bottles out. Both have to do with the "Good Person Test". The second bottle I sent out has a good explanation of the Gospel in it. It is called, "True Love". The bottle was received by an Atheist. The first comment I received from him was that 'there is no god and that is the happiest news of all'. I wrote back asking him what proof he has found that has led him to believe there is no god. He wrote back and said there was no evidence. So I will be praying on how to respond to him. His name is Alexander if anyone wants to be praying for him. He lives in the United States. This is good practice for me. Be praying for me too, that I will know how to answer Alexander. Pray that I will learn to give an answer for every person who asks a reason of the hope in me. Thank you.

Everyday Evangelism- July 13, 2009
Sorry about the last update. The video did not upload properly. I could not find the files for the video on my computer to upload it, so I transfered the video to another place where I could find it, but something was lost in the transfer. Am in the process of finding where the video files are located on my computer so I can upload it in the future. Not getting much of a response though. Guess nobody else knows where they are either : (
On a better note, I made $10 at the garage sale. That is great considering I wasn't really out there to sell much. I made 9 loaves of cinnamon bread, and a dozen cookies, which was where I made most of my money. I was really out there to learn how to do a garage sale, on my own, and to set up a table with evangelism material on it, so that people would come by and hopefully, start conversations about the Gospel. We really did not have too many people show up for the garage sale, as it was hot outside during the middle of the summer. Usually, our subdivision has the garage sale in October. Not sure why they planned on in the middle of summer. It was good experience for me, and I will continue to learn how to improve the methods of evangelism in the coming garage sale events that we will have in the future. Hopefully, will have lots more conversations with people in the future about the things of God.

Everyday Evangelism - July 9, 2009
Getting ready for a garage sale on Saturday. I am not a garage sale person, but I do have a couple of things to sell. Will make some cinnamon bread loaves also. They sell quickly. I need the money to pay for tracts and things like that and can use every cent I get. I am slowly coming up with ideas that will lead to evangelism opportunities at the garage sale. I am also open to any suggestions people have on this. I will have a table set out with tracts, so people can ask questions. I will also have the beach balls that have the saying on them: side 1; What can wash away my sin? side 2; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. The frisbies have John 14:6 on them. Both have the url for the Good Person Test, www.thegoodtest.net. I was thinking about doing a magic card trick. Here is what it should look like. I place 21 cards in 3 piles (7 in each pile). I ask a person to select a card but don't tell me what it is. Just tell me which pile it is in. I gather up the cards and put them in a pile. Then I redistribute them just like I did before and ask the same question. I do this three times. Then I will ask a question like "Who is the only person who has risen from the dead?" Of course, the answer is "Jesus Christ" and for each letter of that I will put a card down. When I get to the last card, it should be the card that they selected. Very interesting. I still don't know why this trick works, but it does.
