Killing the Giants

This last week was called Killing the Giants week.

It was meant to stretch our faith by shooting for ridiculous goals of faith and action in the area of evangelism.

For example, by the grace and power of God...

In 7 days and 2 hours, we initiated spiritual conversations with 2,296 people.

In 7 days and 2 hours, we shared to Gospel of Christ with 868 people.

In 7 days and 2 hours, 67 people decided to trust Jesus for their lives.

In 7 days and 2 hours, brothers, friends, parents, co-workers, and other personal giants in our lives were faced and walls of fear and timidity were torn down.

God is good.

The definition of evangelism, as defined by Campus Crusade for Christ is...

Taking the initiative to share Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to God.

So that is what we do. We initiate broadly, talk with a little less, share with a little less, and see a little less trust in Him. But it all starts with sewing broadly.

Say 1% of the people you talk to come to know Christ. That is 100 conversations and 1 name written in Heaven. Better get talkin, huh?

The cool part is, too, that any conversation about Christ is useful because God is there, and He is the one working in people's hearts.

If someone accepts Christ, it is a success.

If someone hates Jesus and you talk to them about why, and are persecuted heavily, it is a success.

If someone is uninterested and you talk to them, it is a success.

Taking the initiative is all we are called to do, so let's do it. God handles the rest.
