Thanksgiving Evangelism

Hard to believe that the world's best holiday is only 12 days away. Thanksgiving Day is my favorite holiday, because its purpose is a national time of giving thanks to God for his many blessings and mercies he has shown us, both as a nation and individually.

I went out to the corner by WalMart this past Thursday after work, and I took my light-up "give thanks" witnessing cross with me. Gets dark early, so I use this cross more in the winter season...I can change out the panels to change the message on the cross (for example, "Jesus Saves", and I'm thinking about making a set of panels saying "Wise Men Seek Jesus"for the Christmas season.

You can pray for young man named Ruben, who stopped out on Thursday for a Bible. It was cold, and he was just wearing a T-shirt, so I quickly gave him some background on the Bible, explained  the message of the gospel, and also gave him a "One Second After You Die" booklet to take with him.  Pray that God would give him a desire and an understanding of the message of the gospel, that he might come to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 And while you and I give thanks to God this Thanksgiving season for his goodness to us, lets also give thanks that we have a great Savior to share with their friends and neighbors,  and the freedom - still - to share that message of hope, forgiveness, and eternal life in Jesus Christ with all around us.  And we can demonstrate that we truly are thankful by taking these opportunities to reach out to the lost while were able.
Maranatha!
Paul.
