I thank God for this conversation. Abdul was working as a valet at a very nice restaurant in Columbus Ohio. He follows Islam and hopes to go to heaven one day. He agreed to be interviewed. Listen in as we talk about why I should become a Muslim and talking about the Law of Moses.
We had to keep interrupting the conversation as he parked cars, but we talked plenty... he walked away with lots of material that he says he will read. Please pray for Abdul. He has this website so he can hear himself.
Scott and Daniel were at the Oktoberfest and they received the big $100 bill gospel tracts from Mindy. They got to hear the gospel and take some info home with them.
Mindy talks to Simeon at the Oktoberfest in Columbus Ohio after they performed for the crowd there. Most Christians we talk with do not know their Bible. Sounds like Simeon knows the Bible!
To listen to how to present the gospel in 3 minutes, go to the link below and click on Three Minutes To Live. While you're there, listen to the 1st message, "Hell's Best Kept Secret" and the 8th message, "True and False Conversion" too!

Eric stopped Phil and Chelsea using gospel tract from LivingWaters.com
Chelsea said she's a Catholic and her good should outweigh her bad. Sounds more like emergent church... She can interperet the Bible differently it sounds like.
I asked Paul to name the 10 Commandments then 10 beers. Interesting. He says he is a Christian, but says he won't say what happens to a Muslim or a Jehovah's Witness when they die.
People - PLEASE after you listen to this encounter I had with Paul, go listen to this sermon:
Mindy and I met two guys who claimed they were "Cashews." They are brothers: Bob and Josh. Really fun / funny guys. Off the recorder, we got to talk about Israel and biblical prophecy and Israel becoming a state in 1948 just like God said it would.
I spotted Julius walking by me with droopy drawers. Asked if he would sit and talk with me. We did, but mom came by screaming at him to get in the car. She was MAD!!! Please pray for Julius - he didn't get to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ!
One is a former Jehovah's Witness. Jehovah's Witnesses, please read John 20:28 - it's even in your New World Translation. Thomas called Jesus Christ "God!"
Columbus Ohio courthouse. Timothy was coming out of the courthouse today and we had a chat. Found out he practices Wiccan. After the recorded conversation, I got to give him the full gospel of Christ and he said he was going to read the gospel of John I gave him.
Met Tommie at the courthouse and we agreed he would not cuss, but he uses some language that may not be appropriate for kids. He professed to 23 years of criminal behavior and knows he is going to hell, but doesn't care. I think if he really knew what hell is like, he would change his mind... maybe not. Clearly he is a false convert, hearing the WRONG gospel in chruches which is all over America. Listen to the podcast, then listen to the following sermon about people who think they are Christians, but are self-deceived:
I was at the courthouse and met this guy Rick. Handed him a gospel tract and he said he got one from me the day before, but a girl he was with took it from him. So, thinking I was recording our conversation, with his permission, Rick and I talked for about 15 minutes until I realized it was not on... so I turned it on at the last few minutes. Rick is a former convict - self defense in killing someone previously. He's 29 and says his mom keeps telling him about Jesus all the time and that she and I would get along :D
I handed Holly a tract to have her judge herself against God's Standards - the Law... it didn't take long for Holly to start crying. Please pray for her. She broke down in front of several people waiting for the bus. Her ride came right when it was time to turn off the recorder. May God use this to save her and give her LIFE!
Like he says in the podcast, "you can lead a horse to water..." Pray for Adrian. I think he really does want to know, but he's mixed up with different things he's read and heard. Nice guy! But truth is truth! And Jesus did say, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one (not me, not you, not Adrian) comes to the Father, but through Me." Jesus is either telling the truth or He is a liar - which one?
I met Kevin at the courthouse. 25 year old guy. First half went well, but then Kevin got a bit riled up. Maybe Jesus made mistakes? Maybe the Davinci Code is right? Maybe Jesus had to forgive Himself? Kevin was a nice, clean-cut guy, but mixed up about truth. He says he is a Christian, but he doesn't read the Bible and God just has to forgive him. See link below after listening to podcast:
Shon and I had a great time talking in front of the courthouse. He said he would even miss his bus if necessary. He ended up missing it TWICE! He walked away with quite a bit of material and after I shut off the recorder, he said he wanted to add a couple things. Good thing he did because I found out that he thought baptism was necessary to be born again! You can listen to Part 2 here:
Obetz Zucchini Festival. It was difficult controlling the group, but finally talked more one to one with one of the teens. They had to leave, but they walked away with something to think about and some gospel tracts.
Obetz Zucchini Festival. Sarah talks to two young ladies in front of their church - they were allowing cars to park there for the festival for $3 a car.
Outside the courthouse, I talked with Chris who is a Catholic. He had some strange beliefs about Mary and the devil. He also thinks he can fornicate all the time and God will just forgive him as a Catholic. He had to go at the end, but he got some info to go home with, including the rap CD I promised him. Here's the link to that if you want to hear it yourself after the podcast(second audio down):
WARNING: He says a cuss word once though I told him not to cuss when I turned on the recorder. He came up to me because he overheard me tell someone to read Ps. 51 and even interruped a witnessing encounter. He really wanted to talk to me. When he doubted the deity of Christ, I should have brought out John 20:28, but he says he will read the book of John. This is a short recorded conversation, but we talked for a long time afterward. He's confused about who Jesus is. Please pray for this man. He seemed pretty concerned about not knowing the truth. SHABAKA, if you are reading this, go to www.NeedGod.com and read "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel.
I met Crystal outside the courthouse. She was waiting for a ride and agreed to talk with me about spiritual things. She had to run at the end, but heard all that she needs to know to repent and trust in Christ. Please pray for her. She is a tender, honest young lady and I want to see her in heaven!
Sharon and Wayne agreed to talk to us about spiritual things, but once they heard the Law of God, they didn't like it. They are atheists now - converted from their former religious backgrounds: Catholic and Methodist.
How can so-called "Christians" backslide so far into atheism? Check this out:
Sparky was riding a bike, about to pass me by quickly, but I stuck a million dollar bill out and he stopped. We started talking from there. Interesting conversation!
Ran into Linda at a free concert at the Riverfront in Columbus, OH. She was a bit tipsy and I didn't know whether I should witness to her or not, but went ahead and did it. She said she had been saved several times and that Yoga was the best spiritual thing someone can do. She thinks she's saved, going to meet Jesus Christ one day, but it sounds like she is a false convert.
Patrick had a booth where you can get your picture taken with a background. One of the backgrounds that caught my eye had some money on it and at the top, it said, "PAID IN FULL" - interesting! So Betty and I stopped in and I talked with him about where he stands with God. Later, we talked with his buddies Dave and Larry. You can find our conversation with them here:
