I am going to begin to share with you some of the witnessing encounters I have had as it will be a good reminder to me to keep pressing on, and hopefully it encourages you that you can do the same.  It's like everyone says about everything else...."If everyone would do their part, the problem would not be as huge."  Only, this is the only problem that truly matters in the end.  

Just this Monday I received a call from a gentleman, speaking english with an Indian twist, with Portfolio Loan wondering if I'd be interested in taking advantage of their new "low rates".  I explained to him that we were not interested in an mortgage as we already went through out home bank to take care of our home financing needs.  As he continued to talk as if I hadn't said what I said, that still small voice spoke to me and reminded me that this was actually an opportunity to share Christ with a soul, and not an annoying call about 7 months late.  I listened to him finished and then asked if he would like to switch conversations and answer a few questions I had for him!  :)  He, to my surprise, was more than happy to listen to me as I walked him from the 10 Commandments as the Holy standard of a Righteous God, to his personal sins, to the only cure that is available, that is, Jesus and his death on the cross.  To my astonishment, Sunny as I now know him by, had never heard of Jesus, the 10 Commandments, or what Christianity has to offer!  After I blew as much by him as possible in about 2 min. Sunny said to me, "I believe everything you have told me is absolutely true." He could not thank me enough, as chills ran up my spine in amazement at what our God continues to work in men across the globe.  Sunny, by the way, is a remote telewhatever working from his office in India for Porfolio Loans in Texas!  Yowza!  Our God is bigger than our weaknesses!  

The cool thing is Sunny gave me his email and wanted me to send him more information.  He actually called me the next day on accident, thinking I was again a potential customer!  haha  We laughed and he was glad to talk to me again!  I think it was just God's way of reminding me that someone across the globe is waiting for His Word.  (Sunny told me the second time he called that he was really looking forward to getting more information about Jesus and repentance and faith and that he told his friends all about our discussion!)

So next time you really feel like letting the telemarketer hear the phone slam, try asking him if he would consider himself to be a "good person".    ;)  

Wow!
