BE INVENTIVE

Sometimes people are not inventive about sharing the gospel. Someone made a suggestion to me just a few days ago, and I acted on it.

I have been involved in radio starting in 2002, and have had over 2,500 programs aired on numerous stations. All these are broadcast domestically, though the programs are available online worldwide, and we have had hits from various countries. A church in Pakistan reached out to me, and instead of the oft-repeated requesters to come to Pakistan, India, Kenya, or another country to speak, which I am not currently in a position to do, this church asked me to preach for them on Skype. I did that last Thursday and based upon the results have agreed to do that monthly for a while.

You can make posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more from your phone and computer, and some are doing that.

You can also commit to prayer - we know that no one comes to God unless the Father draws them. Yet many reject God's advances. We can pray for the soil to be plowed up and seeds planted by faithful followers of the Lord so that they will respond when God approaches them and enter into His kingdom. There is a saying that more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. I have seen MANY answers to prayer. IF there are more prayers from more people, there WILL be even more answers! PRAY ON!
