Downtown Greenville Fishing Trip

Downtown Greenville had their Fourth of July festival this past Friday night – hosted by AT&T. Me, my father-in-law (Bruce Lucas), cousin (Paul Edgar), and good buddy (Mike Styles) decided to head down around 7PM to hand out some gospel tracts and do some street fishing (witnessing). There was a huge turn out of people there, which seemed to be around 10,000 give or take a few thousand people.

Upon arriving in downtown and after paying to park, we had a quick prayer in the parking garage asking God to put the gospel tracts in the right people’s hands, and then started passing them out right away. Mike and Bruce both had one pack of 100 “million dollar” tracts a piece, along with about 20 “optical illusion” tracts. Paul and I both had two packs of 100 “million dollar”

tracts a piece, with about 20 “optical illusion” tracts. We handed out close to 700 gospel tracts

before 9PM, and really had a great time.

We all had some good conversations about God with strangers, and we all had a few people who were rude to us, but the overwhelming majority of people were very nice. The only thing that could have been better would have been to have had about 5 more people and about another few thousand tracts. There were just too many people for the four of us.

I know a lot of people will say what a waste of time just handing out gospel tracts are, and that one on one witnessing is the best way to go. I would agree that one on one is much preferred than just handing a tract to someone passing by, but God promises us that His Word will never come back void. Please pray that God would grow the seeds that we obediently spread Friday night.

I would like to send out special thanks to Tina, Wanda and Cheryl for letting us guys go out Friday night and fish for lost souls. Ladies you played a huge role in getting these tracts passed out, so I just wanted to say thank you!
