Echoing

Yesterday I got to sleep in and just enjoy a day of rest. I did laundry for the first time since I have been down here, it was relaxing. We went to the church to have our second evangelism talk, and we talked about the two different types. There is confrontational and there is relational. Confrontational is the type that we will be doing here in panama. It is defined as speaking to some one you have never met and is generally spontaneous. We are called to do this any where, like social gathering spots like malls, stores, and gas stations, the beach, like down here in Panama, and anywhere and everywhere else. The other type is relational. It is defined as speaking to someone who you have built a relationship with, a relationship of trust, and someone you hang out with or spend time with. This is generally unsaved family members and friends. The key is to actually have a relationship with this person, spend time with them and do things that they like. Don't make it all about you and taking them to church and stuff. You can do this with your co workers, or if you are still in college dorms, athletics, and greeks. What you do here on earth will echo into eternity. Sharing Him will save others and they will save others and so on and so forth. Not only are we called to share His message, but by doing this you can spend time worshiping and glorifying the Lord. Don't get the picture wrong and think that you are making friends or building relationships with ulterior motives, because that is not the case. It is what we are called to do and making friends along the way is just part of that process. And so what if you make friends just to lead them to the Lord, there is nothing wrong with that. Read the scriptures Acts 18:3 and Luke 5:29. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Please keep praying.

Serving Him,

Daniel
