What were your apprehensions going into Open Air Evangelism?
I was scared of going and sharing my faith because I feared that I would look stupid or crazy or something to that effect.
What opportunities did you have to share Christ?
I had many opportunities to share Christ and what He has done for my life with a few different people from what seemed like all walks of life. I had the chance to do a sketch board, which is basically street-preaching of the Gospel, and to have personal contact with complete strangers on the streets of one of Canada’s neediest cities: Hamilton, Ontario. I just hope God used those conversations to speak to those people’s lives and help them examine themselves and see that they need Christ.
How did God work in your own heart during OAE week?
God not only worked on my fear but also on how I should be viewing the people that I am sharing the Gospel with. I am trying to show them a God Who loves them and wishes that none should perish. We have broken His law and His commandments, but we can’t fix that by ourselves — we need Christ to pay for our sins.
How has this changed your life?
A member of the staff had us listen to a sermon about the way to minister on our second day, and this made a huge impact in my life! I realized my responsibility to share truth with people. I would like to say that all the apprehension of witnessing for Christ is gone, but I know it’s not. Hopefully in my time away from school I will have the opportunity to share with friends and family the hope that I have — hope in Christ.
