Who Will You Be: Evangelism in Madison

Our new staff used the Who Will You Be Pocket Proxe, about God and identity, to guide their conversations during evangelism training. They actually go out in twos (contact evangelism style) and have conversations about Jesus with different people on the streets of Madison (yes, that's here where I live!) and the University of Wisconsin campus. 120 staff went out and overall there were 12 people that decided to follow Christ 2 weeks ago today!

Two stories of decisions for Christ:

One ONS pair approached a man sitting on a bench. The pair started the conversation with the Proxe and the man read the story of the prodigal. When he did he began to tear up and said that his father had abandoned him. The Spirit moved him using the Proxe and he made a decision for Christ.

Another couple approached a woman sitting on a bench. She was reading a book. Turns out the book was a self-help book on identity. The woman exclaimed, "I have been thinking this week about the connection between spirituality and identity. Amazing you should approach me on this" (paraphrase). She also made a decision to follow Jesus.

Praise God for his work in people's lives, preparing them and calling them home to his love. He uses us and what we make, he uses scripture; he gets through to people. God's power is amazing.
