. . . WITH THOSE WHO HAPPENED TO BE THERE

The great apostle, Paul, in Acts 17:17, finds himself in Athens.  He not only preaches the gospel and reasons with folks about the gospel in the Synagogue, but also, in the market place daily, "with those who happened to be there."  I love it!  That's one of the chief goals of Making the Gospel Known Ministries--to equip Christians to be motivated, trained, and able to reason the gospel with whoever God brings across their paths.  Here is a great example of this from my friends, Jeff and Mary Bruns:  

We had a plumber, Dan, come out to give us an estimate for some work today. When he was getting ready to go, I gave him a million dollar "tip". I told him it had the million dollar question, "Are you good enough to go to heaven?" He indicated that he wasn't and we stared talking. We went through the law and the incredible gospel. I gave him a New Testament and the booklet "One Second After You Die". He seemed grateful.
When Jeff got home he called Dan to answer some questions. Dan told Jeff, "I really appreciated the pamphlet your wife gave me today." Jeff then encouraged him that this was the most important thing in life to consider. It's just so amazing to be having these life and death conversations with people...

Yes!  It is amazing to be called to be ambassadors of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Everywhere we go, PEOPLE ARE PERISHING, and they do not even know.  And guess what?  Like Jeff and Mary, we have the privilege to make the gospel known the them.  After all, that's our job!  We sow the seeds, our great God and Savior makes them grow.
