I feel so called to do this but I struggle with social anxiety and just bad anxiety in general. My plan is the summer of next year after I graduate, to get in my car with who ever feels called to come with me, and drive to wherever for a week and just witness to anyone I feel called to. This is going to be so hard for me but I know how rewarding it will be to bring people to Jesus! So I ask anyone willing that sees my comment to pray that I have the strength to do this. Thanks, God Bless
You guys are the type of people I wanna hang out with. Praise be to God, continue to preach The Word and share with those in your community. You have an ease and confidence that is appealing to those, especially at the "ghetto" mall, that will have people wanting to hear what you say. OH and you have J.C- that might be important ;) sending love to ya. Praise God. See you in Eternity!!!
tHIS IS AWESOME you have to allow the Lord to lead and direct you. It's good to spread the gospel to everyone but using wisdom is vital when doing evangelism. God bless you and your ministry.
Man I am a native of B-more and I have been to that mall. It reminds me of a mall we have here called Mondawmin. Can somebody say GGGGHHHHEEEETTTTTOOOO!!!!!!!!
All in all, I think that that is an awsome thing your doing though!
@ 1:08 he starts saying "we" gonna make it happen, "we" gonna save the whole mall. Christ alone saves, we only use the means by which he has ordained salvation will come, which is hearing the gospel preached by faithful servants. Toward the end @ around 4:47 he says "we" were successful, again with the "we." And how do they define successful? Saving 1 soul, 100 souls? Presenting the gospel clearly and concisely while evangelizing is what makes you successful, not a head count of souls saved.
Well you also don't wanna over analyze the things ppl say either(or assume things not even stated). They were speaking from the heart and sometimes we may not always say things the way everyone else thinks it should be said. Just because they said we doesn't mean they were meaning that they "solely" saved them. Also it didn't seem like they were excited just because of #'s, they even said some didn't get saved but said they would visit the church or were at least open. Hope they cont. 2 grow :)
@danielhaley3000 wow are u serious they don't mean that they are saving ppl and even if they only get one person the bible says remember he that turns one sinner from the error of his ways covers over a multitude of sins. and also that the angels rejoice over one sinner that repents. get real quit being petty. how many ppl are u leading to Christ.
I know how elvin feels, it could be scary ministering to random people. However the bible says in 2 timothy 1:7: God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
....when everyone just wanna chill...he wanna tape and be corny on the tape...he try to be all serious. And he look like the oldest one too...maybe thats why.....and way 2103 yall rock.
I just have to say that. I'm suprised Ev, I thought this would be you type of thing. Well, this is hilarious and insightful at the same time. Big ups to you guys, keep spreading the Gospel message.
I found out people get more and more stubborn twoards salvation as the world get worse...so come on Fam..were all the hope they have. because we can have hope..we need to offer some..got me..
Poor Ev, I feel you though everyone says to me u aint gon have no job u cant even talk to people. I had the nerve to try and tell my testimony..dang I froze. Imma work at it though..prayin for u Ev. I'm trying to get better..Cuz I love Jesus ya feel me?
People in my neighborhood be like, she's at it again!..they can't stand me, but they appreciate the care that I have for their salvation, its soo fun though, I love to talk about God!
Evan why must they be strange people?!?!? no im joking but yes even as a Californian I know how ruff Northland is because my Grandma used to go down there and she doesnt anymore...but the hood needs to be saved too! Try Southfield next time lol
Hey yall this is great!!!! I know how it feels to be approaching strange ppl and then still tell them about Jesus... it can be real scary....but I just wanna encourage yall to do it by faith and through the power of the Holy Spirit. What yall did has encouraged me tho..... thank you soooo much :)
haha what happened to not saying the teachers name...but yall that was real good! outreaching ain't no joke...its hard sometimes but well worth it.. :-)
Yall have inspird me I might go out n do dat too. das da bomb, das da type of boldness I would have as a child with no doubt,hesitation or anythng, wn i was so excitd about christ i wud tell virtually anyone,there was no fear, what was in ma head n wat i thought was christ is da only way n das it ! Dats wat I was taught and dats what i believed and at that age if you tried to say something different I would make sure u knew the truth lol . das wat we all goota get back to that child like faith.
Praise God. Don't worry if some people don't show up to church righ away or even accept Christ right away. You have planted the seed in someone's heart, sometimes it takes a while to see the harvest.
dont worry evan, i have people anxiety too. im not good at talking to people, uts easier for me to talk to the people first and then after a few minutess tell them about the goodness of the lord. i usually invite them to church but they never come, but i've learned from my mom and sister that if you stay on top of just that one person or group of people they eventually come around. i've personally been slacking major time but Gods working on me now so i may succeed in my ministry,
21:03!!! u guys are awsome, its not just evangelisim but its witnissing as well! It may have only been 3 ppl souls but those 3 souls u were ment to meet that day! my church wants to witness and i neverndone it before but 2 God b glory cus its all about bringing souls 2 Christ so he can mold them and shape them into the pottery he needs them 2 b! its just about bein Christian but its about being saved and doin the will of God! again congratulations an keep it up! u guys are awsome!!1
On some for real, you guys should have started singing in the middle of the mall. People would probably come up to you, and then when you'd finish a song, you could talk to them. Then continue singing, and doing the cycle. That would've worked well cuz y'all got some tight harmonies and you sound bangin'!
why were y'all at Northland!? seriouslly, i love my city, but everyb ody knows that Northland is the worst possible mall in Detroit!! next time, try Fairlane...
3:53 the girl that says she saved LOL probably because she said the salvation prayer once. The real evidence someobody is saved is by there fruit. Thats scripture you shall know them by there fruit.
me& acouple others wnt out & did the same thin @ mall 2but 1st we prayed& asked who do u want 2 speak 2 & igot the image of a butterfly (tht lost me) but as we are walking in the mall i saw the butterfly as a tat on this gurl i am now on crazy cuz i dont talk 2 people lik tht & my friend has to push me 2 talk 2 her & when i started she just began 2 go crazy(now i am really ready 2 run away) but she clam down &just began 2 open up 2 me &tht dayi was able 2 lead her &her friend bac 2 christ(crazy)
i b nervous too...LLAAwWDD...but it is worth while...and i have to remember thats its not about me...but about Christ...that keeps me motivated to please God...ya digg lol
1st...Northland is kinda wack =-(, BUT thats one of the BEST places to minister to someone about Jesus Christ...im glad you guys ministered to the lost, and ill keep prayin that we ALL continue to do the same thing..God Bless
I'm like evan I'm not the one to go to strange people but this has lit a fire in me to do it I just hope I go through with it...Also if anyone knows who sings a song that has these lyrics "SEARCHED THE WORLD, NOBODY LIKE YOU" please let me know.... Thanks
that was neat!! yall conqer!!:) every day u see jw walking n mornmoms riddin their bike up to houses. yall reppin kingdom n right way. i remember i use to be afraid of dark one of my fears. ev, i know how that feel. keep doing u.
I love it!! Ppl can say what they want about ya'll but I believe ya'll are really trying to work out your salvation 1Thes1:1-3!!! This really helped me bc I sumtimes have the same prob w/ tell ppl. It all comes down to being unshamed and being bold in our faith, I can teach and witness when ppl come to the bible study I hold at my school but i get nervous when sumtimes when God tell me to do it in the Student Union. Ya'll truly gave me an idea for outreach...the local mall
i'm so proud of you all trying to get people into christ you guys are awesome i wasn't even thinking about doing it until you guys were doing it now i wanna go do it now that Evin faced his fears and went up to strange people(: good job
I'm glad to see you guys taking it to the street and doing your part in the Great Commission. Our Church does it, and up until now I still get tongue-tied for the first couple of minutes - ministering to strangers is no joke :-)
I feel so called to do this but I struggle with social anxiety and just bad anxiety in general.
