Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | Yes, it has happened to me too. I once witnessed to someone at a Jump5 concert without meaning too. Other times, online. I like, witness almost every day. It's FUN!

Reps: 1,437 (power: 13) | | I don't really count online myself because online, no one really feels like a total stranger. I suppose it's because everyone has their anonyimity.
Though one time, my brother Brad gave me his new AIM name, it was 13rad.... last name, but I thought he had said it was just "13rad". So I sent him a big complicated IM which had something to do with Christianity (I can't remember what particular point of theology it was though).
He reponded "who are you?" "what the hell are you talking about" or something to that affect  So I asked my brother what was going on (both of us in the same house with two separate computers) and he tells me I got the wrong name.
So then I'm trying to explain to this guy  I was like, well, it's sort of a Jesus thing you know?  He didn't take.
I've never gotten myself into the position to witness in person though. I'm a relatively new Christian and I just suppose I haven't gotten hardcore enough yet (not to mention pretty much everyone I spend any amount of time with is either family or another Christian already). |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | I actually was in a situation where I was able to talk to a total stranger about Jesus at work. I was working in a retail store, by myself on a very slow day. I thank God for opening this door of opportunity allowing me to spontaneously share my faith with someone. It was amazing... I'm telling you, I don't remember a time when my heart was beating faster and my adrenaline was pumping more!! It encouraged me and built my confidence. I can hardly wait for the next opportunity! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
