Leading Kings to Christ

Read about 3 Kings being led to Christ-AWESOME

Dave Teis, went to his home town of Las Vegas and he and his wife knocked on 100 doors a day to reach people for Christ 25 years ago. They had over 1000 attending twice during the month of May. A fantastic church.

Meeting a King
One of the missionaries, Mike Patterson, told about being introduced to a real King in Africa. He put his hand out to shake the Kings hand, which you are not supposed to do. He spoke directly to the king, another no no. When he was explained his lack of protocol he apologized profusely. Then speaking properly through a third person, he told the King that he was the adopted son of the King of Kings. The King was intrigued and asked him to come back the next Thursday and tell him about it

Leading the King to Christ
Mike went back and started with Genesis 1:1 told the King the whole story of the Bible for two and a half hours. When he told how the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins and rose again, the King was deeply moved. When Mike asked if he would like to receive the Lord Jesus, he gladly prayed out loud with him and was gloriously saved. Through all of this he was later introduced to two other Kings and had the joy of leading them to Christ.

"Pray for kings"
For years I have prayed, like God told us in 1 Tim. 2:1, for the kings of the world. When I heard Mike tell this I burst into tears as I realized I had a part in their salvation! Oh dear people, it will transform your lives to pray for the things God told us to pray for in the Bible. I have written on this before but here is a live demonstration of why we should pray for ALL kings.

Father, thank you for this wonderful story of how You work in answer to our prayers and our faithful witness. Help Your people to pray and witness like You told us. In Jesus name. And I LOVE YOU, all because of Calvary, Sumner

Evangelistic Tracts Part 2

God Uses Tracts, Do You? continued, 2nd part

God Uses Tracts, Do You? Is the title of a tract I wrote 50 years ago.
It has been reproduced, copied, modified and published in 10 Christian
publications. Here is the second half. Give them out:

6. PRACTICALLY. Don't expect God to stop you suddenly on the street
and say, "Here, give this man a tract" or "Wait, don't give him one."
Would you even have a tract with you if He did? God expects us to be
practical and buy up our opportunities. We don't wait for the Spirit
to move us before we pray or read our Bible. Neither should we wait
for a feeling to give out tracts.

Put tracts in letters, Christmas cards, and bills. Give them to
clerks, waitresses, salesmen; and all who come to your door. Leave
them in places where people will likely see them and pick them up. Go
in teams for mass distribution to bus and train stations, airports,
shopping centers, and sporting arenas. Send teams from the church,
door to door, until you reach every home.

Doctors have put them in statements, businessmen in letters, and store
owners in packages. Tract racks maybe profitably placed in stores,
stations, hospitals, etc. Be sure the tracts are attractive and
printed on good paper. Don't cheapen your witness. Watch and pray for
some new way to distribute tracts.

7. PERSONALLY. One of the unique aspects of tracts is that anyone can
use them, young or old, educated or uneducated, rich or poor. People
who would not come to your church will read a tract in privacy. Be
sure it contains the gospel -- the death, burial and resurrection of
Christ for our sins!

8. PROSPECTIVELY. One of the greatest values of tract is their ease in
opening the door to witness. Use them as a tool to witness but never
as an excuse for not witnessing. After a person has read the tract try
to engage him in conversation, and witness further to him.

9. PRESENTLY. Don't delay; start today. Remember you can never be led
to give out a tract if you have none with you. Again, be like Peter,
"I will do as you say" Lk 5:5. Try to get the gospel to EVERY person
without being pushy or offensive.

10. PURPOSEFULLY. Stamp your address on the back of the tract for a follow-up.

Let's preach the gospel to every creature we meet through the use of tracts.

Father, bless Your children and may they use this tool to get the
gospel to people they could not otherwise reach. In Jesus name, all
because of Calvary, Sumner
