big reason our chapter grows truly is evangelism!

i will forever vouch for evangelism. it is the reason why our chapter is flourishing, why new people show up, why we have 200 people and not 20. God’s hand has been on us to be bold and share and i’m thankful for the fruit he’s allowed us to see. His Holy Spirit is what does it, but unless we step in to the opportunities He creates, we won’t see any fruit.

i won’t settle for the “yeah i talk to my friends” bit. proactively reaching our campus means going out and FISHING. finding people. and telling them about Jesus. and at the same time, being given the opportunity to meet believers along the way.

check out a testimony of what happened the other night when three people gave up their night to serve the Lord!

______ had no open doors. On______ low side we talked to an evolutionist who didn’t believe in God, but was still open to the possibility of their being a higher being. We talked to him about the complexity of things and that a higher being must be behind these and what would happen after death. He had come to accept that death was death and nothing more. He was open to us however and accepted a Gospel of John and NJCF flyer. He was very nice and open.

We then talked to ____, in the room next to the stairs on ______. She said she heard our conversation down the hall and was the complete opposite of who we talked too, describing herself as being very faithful. She said she was Catholic but not very Catholic and wanted to come out to NJCF. When we asked her who Jesus was, she gave us the basics but was a little confused, but when we told her who we believed Jesus was, she agreed with us.______was also a nursing major. She accepted an NJCF flyer and said she’ll try to come out on Thursday.

______ was interesting. On high side we were initially giving the “survey” to a Jewish girl and an atheist guy, but were intruded upon by a large and rowdy bunch of people. We asked them all what they thought about God, and there was a wide spectrum of beliefs. One girl said she was very religious, but never spoke after that during our conversation, one guy was another atheist, one girl believed in God but not in Jesus, and the last guys I’m not sure what his beliefs were. Unfortunately, we spent a while on the “survey” part and everyone thought that was all we were doing, so we were kinda weary of going into the Gospel and could tell they were all a little antsy. No one took a flyer or Gospel, and we left them.

On _____ low side we talked to ___, who was a Christian. He spoke a lot about how he had worked with his youth group and been on mission trips and was looking for a Christian fellowship. He said God always being there for him through his struggles and failures was what turned him on to God, and agreed that Jesus was the son of God and died for our salvation. He was very friendly, a swimmer with a busy schedule, and a Bio major like Adedoyin. As we left he was really excited and said we were like an answer to prayer. He took a flyer and said he’d try and come out on Thursday.

Praise God that He led us to 2 Christians! And we ran into some rough waters with all the atheists tonight, but we can only pray that God would continue to work in their lives. It was also more difficult doing evangelism tonight with 3 people, because at times when we were 3 on 1 it may have overwhelmed the other person and when we were in the big group we were always looking at each other wondering who was gonna speak. But thanks be to God, we were able to adjust tonight and have a good time tonight for God’s glory.”
