Messianic approach is befriending, explaining as the fellowship is developed, planting seeds and praying for them. Card handouts are short and are easily seen as controversial, creating a combative position, rather than a fellowship. While we may be great at arguing all points of contention, it rarely works.

I plan to hand them out to other Christian's on the street; this is the thread I made regarding Messianic views on certain topics :Let's crowdsource a sticky post explaining messianic viewpoints on the scripture (verses, topics, prophecy) : messianic If you see any verses that could be added (or taken away) to certain verse compilations, or adjustments to the content of certain documents, they are welcome.

I'd agree for nonbelievers. The cards will be for believers though (Colossians 1:28) and I don't have as a great of an interest in talking about the Messianic take on the law as I do talking about the gospel in the street, though I'll share my beliefs if asked. The front of the card will be just a prophetic warning, while the back will have general links to scriptures that apply to all followers for praying/how to live a godly life/other prophetic scriptures, then the last link will be the commentaries.

I found this young man's approach to be very impressive. Watch the expressions of the people he is talking to. I suspect that he is very good at reading people, and adjusting his approach to the situation.

I've seen this video as well, and what strikes me is that the things about Yeshua being Messiah that are presented are all coming out of Tanakh. This is a prime way of speaking to Jews in Israel about Messiah, as the B'rit Chadashah Scriptures are often rejected out-of-hand by Jews in general, as a "christian" book, and they won't believe there is any connectibility of it to Tanakh, when presented alone. Even secular Jews will scoff at the B'rit Chadashah and will hold Tanakh as being more reliable in their view. That's why the testimony about Messiah Yeshua - indeed the very glad tidings of the Kingdom of Elohim - must start there.

This is how it is in Israel. One-on-one conversations. There are no soapbox Billy Graham moments in the streets. The conversations are happening, in living rooms, in cafés, in other intimate settings, and elsewhere, even as it was recorded in the Besorot.

Naq`dimon met with Messiah Yeshua in private, as did others in the Sanhedrin who believed. As recorded in the Besorot those in the Sanhedrin who followed Yeshua did so privately for as long as they could. They had intimate discussions about Yeshua and His testimony that - if written down - likely would make the Mishna look like a short story.

And no loud speakers interrupting family.

Basic manners,

I think that this is the best way to do it on the streets of the U.S. too. Quietly approach people and start a conversation that they are a part of. It can be anywhere as YHWH puts people before us. If people start gathering; speak just loud enough for them all to hear; but we don't need to create a disturbance. Those who have ears to hear will draw near.

I just had one with a new customer, that lasted for about three hours. She doesn't believe, Agnostic. During our conversation, she was asking lots of questions; and interestingly she kept stopping me, to text a Jewish friend, to ask him questions too.

Seeds have been planted; and she has a friend who could possibly nurture those seeds; now that she has opened that door with her friend.

Can you put a counter on a Reddit page? It would be useful to count how many cards you pass out, and how many actually visit the page. It might be more effective to just put the information on a flyer. They're more likely to read it; if they are already holding it in their hands.

Nah, they disabled the feature. Just at a quick glance 2000 flyers seem to be about 4x the cost of 2000 business cards. I was thinking of having one sign that stands on it's on with a message on it like "Prophetic Warning 4 Believers" then have an arrow pointing to where they could pick up a card.

Oh, it is OK to point to outside sites that are not against Christianity or for information if it is in a thread. If the link is in the Custom Title or Signature then it would be a vio. If the other site was a solicitation or selling something it could also be a vio.
