What Are Your Feet Like?

This tour we got to go with a host in Orlando to pass out tracts and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people.  Several people were closed off from it, but there was a few who were very open to it.  It was very encouraging to be able to share my faith with people.  I got to talk to one guy in particular who is not a believer.  It was a real blessing to be able to talk to him.  We talked for about 30 minutes, and I took him through several different scriptures and I could see a true change in his appearance when he left.  He had several "new age" beliefs that skewed his vision of who God really is.  After talking with him it was evident that he started questioning his recent thought pattern, and was becoming more open to the love of Christ and the true personality of God.  The one thing I didn’t mention was this outreach was on a Friday night in the middle of downtown Orlando in the bar district.  Most people were drunk and didn't care about what they said or how loud they said it.  It was hard not to get discouraged about what we were doing because very few people cared or wanted to hear the truth, but the few we did get to impact was worth everything we went through that night.  Guys were getting in our faces threatening us and cussing us out, but it was defiantly worth it.     

We are an evangelistic ministry, so we are constantly out and about sharing the Gospel in different ways such as tracts, skits, and one on one conversation.  Unfortunately some Christians don't agree with this or disregard it all together saying "witnessing is for evangelist not me."  They miss Jesus’ command that says "And he said unto them, ‘Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.’"  Mark 16:15.  Now I know that not everyone is called to be a missionary or a preacher, but everyone is called to proclaim the Gospel.  You don't have to go overseas or even out of state to proclaim the gospel.  It doesn't even mean you have to preach every scripture of the bible sometimes it's simply just showing people you care enough about them to listen to them or even share your time with them. People all around us are going to hell, our hearts should be burdened for them.  What type of Christian could care less about those around them, or even take the truth of how they came into their salvation and keep it to themselves as if it meant nothing.  Proclaiming the Gospel is not something we should do, it's something we’ve been commanded to do.  This is not optional! What if nobody every told you of this great salvation? So what makes it okay for us to think that spreading the Gospel is something only specific people, Christians that have a “calling” do? "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" Isaiah 52:7.  "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" Roman 10:15.  You've been commissioned by Jesus Himself to proclaim the Gospel, remember Mark 16:15.  My question to you is do you have beautiful feet, or better yet do you have ugly feet and do you even care?  

I'm finishing my final year in NLDC, and am going to have to decide what to do afterwards.  There is a mission trip coming up in the fall to England.  I think I have most of the money I need, but I can always us more.  So I would say if you want to support somebody then it would probably be better to support somebody in their first or second year, because they probably need it a lot more then I do.  But if God is laying it on your heart to support me, then I truly appreciate it, and it will definitely go to help me go overseas.  If I raise enough money to go on more then one mission trip then I will definitely come back and travel just to take another mission trip with NLDC.  If you want to support me and aren't quite sure how to, then you can always pray for me.  Thanks for all your support throughout the last 2 and half years, and may God Bless you for all your generosity.
