When we all went into "Shelter in Place", I began to take 3 walks a day, morning, afternoon and evening. Its great exercise and when its all said and done for the past 8 weeks I have been walking average of 8 miles a day! This has also helped me to loose about 10 pounds which is great, but I guess thats not the point of this post. Anyway, I began to see the same people all the time on my walks, and one day it occurred to me that I have never share the gospel with people in my neighborhood. Sad, but true. I have a ministry in our city thats sole purpose is to share the gospel, and yet, for some reason, I seem to turn that light switch off in my neighborhood. Well, this COVID 19 thing has been a blessing to me as it has given me a new perspective on the mission field of my neighborhood. So now, when I go on walks, I ask the Lord for witnessing opportunities, and boy has He given me them! I shared this with others in our ministry, and it has been so encouraging to see others joining in this. The fact is that rite now, by the nature of being "stuck at home", I have to be that much more intentional sharing the gospel with people. Don't worry, I keep a good 8 foot distance! Please pray for these daily walks, and the many who have joined with me in doing likewise.
