Because of this, I really wanted nothing to do with Halloween, and especially wanted to protect my children from its influence. So, on Halloween we kept the porch light off, the curtains closed, and prayed for the safety of all the children and adults who were out celebrating.

And so as we rolled into 2019, I mentioned to my Pastor at Solid Rock Bible Church that we could reach a lot more of these kids, but that we needed to buy more tracts, more candy, and most important, we needed a place on Main Street to set up, since the house we used in 2018 was up for sale. When it sold, we started praying for a new location. I would drive to work down Main Street and when I pulled onto that street I would lift up this little prayer: "Oh Father, give us a place to give out gospel tracts this year!"

I still lift up prayer for protection from the adversary, for people out celebrating Halloween. And now, we also pray that God would use these gospel tract-candy bags to point children, their parents, and their families to the Jesus Christ: that they would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, and be given the gift of eternal life. Please join with us, and not for us only, but for many other Christians who are reaching out to the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ.
