Connie and I attended a booth at Territory Days here in Colorado Springs a few years ago.  We handed out water, gospel tracts and shared the gospel with hundreds of festival people.  One of the guys Connie shared with REALLY appreciated her sharing with him. Of course, they guy might have had a few beers or something, but he still was into it.

The point that I am trying to make is that you can share the gospel and not be a jerk.  Now, some people will not like it, but most of the folks we talk to shake our hands, or give us a hug(maybe not quite a big hug as this though).

I have also heard lately from some folks how you cannot share the gospel with someone until you have a long lasting trusting relationship with them.  WHY?  You can have a relationship with someone in 5 minutes enough to share the gospel.  This is what Jesus did with the Woman at the Well.  The story you are telling is His story, not yours.

This picture is also getting me fired up for the upcoming holiday parades and festivals.  Should be a great year to be “fishers of men(and women)”.
