“Christian Evanglism: Planting a seed”

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

[Acts 8:37 KJV]

Jonathan J. writes:

By the time I was 15 years of age, I had tried to commit suicide twice and had ran away once. There was no peace in my life. My step-father was a drunk; my mother worked two jobs because he didn’t work. One day, he stuck a gun to my mother’s head and threatened to kill her. I jumped in, grabbed the gun and hid it from my dad. He then started coming after me and I took out the door.

That night in October I stayed awake in the Indianapolis Greyhound Bus Station looking for a way to get money somehow. A gentleman stepped in and tried to witness to me, but I ignored his efforts and just stuck the tract in my front pocket. Later that night I was getting bored. I leaned up against the wall and put my hands in my pockets. “What is that?” I questioned myself. “Is that a dollar?” I pulled it out and it was that tract. With nothing else to do, I read the tract and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I went home that night and even though I had a dead stare from my step-father, I had open arms from my mother. My father has now accepted Jesus Christ and is in heaven, and the rest of my family are saved also. I am now married, a preacher, and have one child whom I will raise in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. If the guy who gave me that tract reads this, I want to say “thank-you”.
