30in30 is also about encouraging one another

Encourage one another, and edify one another - 1 Thessalonians 5:11a
 
Sometimes God gives us an experience not just for us to learn something from it, but to benefit other people. Maybe it was a situation that made you laugh or see the power of God's grace and guidance. I have heard some really amazing testimonies in the last few days which are better told by the participants themselves. If you would like it to be checked before uploading, email encourage@live-4-christ.com even if you just have a short testimony please upload 2 encourage.
 
Just like sharing the gospel, sharing your experiences in evangelism does benefit someone else. It may be used by God to help illustrate a lesson in evangelism or it may help to encourage someone to give out the tract that is sitting in their pocket right NOW in Sydney, Melbourne, Brunei, Adelaide, Singapore or Perth!  Do you have an experience in mind?
 
On to other things.. some people have difficulty knowing what to say to people when they give out tracts. Here are a few. If you have any more, add them in the comments section below this post.
 
"Have you received one of these?"
"Here's a booklet about Christianity"
"If... you were to die tonight, are you sure you will be going to heaven?"
"Hi, someone asked me to give this to you"
"This is for you"
"Here's something for you to read"
 
Here are some ideas for places to give out tracts:
 
Crowded places
Shopkeepers
Drive thru attendants
Friends and family that you have been meaning to share the gospel with
Bus stops
Taxi drivers
Cafes where people are just waiting for something to do
 
 
If you are lacking in zeal and need a message to stir up your burden for the lost follow this link and click on "Militant Evangelism" or watch the Revival hymn posted a few days ago.
