Evangelism

First I would like to start out saying I'm sorry this is a little late. I normally will send my blogs out by the end of the night, but the internet was down all day yesterday and when I went to bed it was still not working. Yesterday was a great day. I went for a nice long swim in the ocean and then we had Evangelism training. Evangelism is the act of sharing the gospel. Why do we need to evangelize? In Matthew 28:16-20, God commands us to. Romans 10:13-17 challenges us by saying if we don't who will? In Philemon 1:6 it explains how by doing so we get to experience God. How might you go about doing this? Acts 1:8 says to receive the Holy Spirit, just open your mouth and God will lead you, then challenge the person your talking to. We then practiced evangelizing with each other and then went out to practice it. We went out to the beach in front of our hotel the share the Gospel. We decided to invite many people to come and play in a volley ball tournament out front our hotel. A good group showed up of about 10. It was a pretty rough crowd and for me an intimidating and humbling experience. It can be very difficult to share your faith. Why? It shouldn't be, but it is. I also realized that my overconfident personality was good for talking to people but not good for going in unprepared and not taking it seriously enough. I didn't pray before I went out or REALLY put my faith in God. I relaid on myself and that will never work. But it was day one of evangelizing and there will be much more opportunities to share the good news of the Lord.
