The first week of our Greatest Gift Outreach was amazing. I would like to say it was hot and cold. Some days we had just open doors like crazy, countless conversations, and many opportunities to share the Gospel. Peoples seemed to be very receptive and willing to discuss what they believe and why. They were curious about Jesus, and the people joining us felt encouraged. Then, the very next day, it was almost as if we had a complete opposite experience. Things went from "hot to cold". People were non receptive, very angry and aggressive, and it seemed as if we were as Paul said, "the scorn of the earth". This all is part of the territory when it comes to evangelism isn't it? One of the reasons we see people grow weary is that they are so focused on experience rather than reality. Experiences will always waver, truth never will. We try and remind ourselves of this daily. That whether things be hot or cold, our witness shall never waver. The reality is, sharing the Gospel although life giving, can be very discouraging and hard. This should not surprise us, and may we always look to Christs example to not grow weary in proclaiming His name.
