Yesterday WWE showed up at the UTC McKenzie arena. So my friend Josh and I decided to hit the streets and take the Gospel to the folks heading in to see the show. For about a year and a half now I have been praying that God would send someone who would be willing to link arms with me and help preach the Gospel to folks in the Chattanooga area. Today was an answered prayer and I am so very thankful that God blessed me it. Josh and I started out with a quick time of prayer and then we made our way toward the arena. Josh first spoke to “Big Charles” who was working a parking lot. He was a professing Christian and we spent a little time just talking to him. Once we got to the arena we split up and began talking to folks on the sidewalk. There is just way too much that happened to type it all here. So I suppose that I will just hit the highlights. I really wasn’t completely prepared for this event, so next time I will have to get all the names and details on my witnessing encounters.
Both Josh and I went though a couple of hundred tracts and had many one-to-one talks. I think I might have spoken to about 8 to 10 people over the two hours that we were there. Of all the people that I talked to one individual stood out. His name is Greg. Greg looked like a typical tough guy but once our conversation started he was intently listening to everything that I said. He told me that he knew he wasn’t living for the Lord and that he also knew that God had sent me to him. He also told me that nothing was stopping him from repenting and trusting in Jesus alone. I sure hope he seeks the Lord with his whole heart. Going to the WWE event was something new for me and it was completely out of my comfort zone, but by the grace of God he gave me the boldness to reach out in love to others. Going to this event has opened my eyes even more that people need the Gospel. Both Josh and I were rejected by some and then again some listened to every word. It was indeed a tough crowd but I trust God to water the seeds that were planted yesterday. Until next time….
