Old City Knoxville October Evangelism 2011

I prayed about where to go last night to evangelize. So I took the leading from the Lord and went to Old City area in Knoxville.(This is a high traffic bar area in downtown Knoxville.) I had a small stool next to a lamp-post in front of a bar on a street corner.
I began to read from several passages from the Old and New Testament. Many ignore the Gospel and continue on to drink the night away. However, a couple and a man name Vince stopped to ask me why I do what I do. I gave them my testimony and I have a desire to share Jesus with those going out to party. I had my longest conversation with Vince. I asked him for his testimony and he said it was a coach that took shared the Gospel with him. I told him the Gospel message to remind him of how Jesus paid for our sins 2000 years ago. Then I said we have to make the choice of turning from a life of living for ourselves and turn towards God. I shared we cannot do this on our own but by the power of the Holy Spirit.(Zech. 4:6) Emphasized it was important to make our decision for the Lord now because we may not have tomorrow. He asked me about how I shared with different people. I told him sometimes the Lord lets me be gentle with the humble but tell the truth. Then there are sometimes I have to be vocal and say “The bridge is out and if you continue to go the direction your headed, you will go off the edge.” Many do not realize they are so wrapped up with the cares of this world and it only leads to a place that a famous rock group sings, AC/DC, Highway to Hell.
He thanked me for talking to him and being honest and polite to him and went his way.
