I call them recipients, anyone I share the Gospel with in any way. I am happy to report they're a wide section of society.
When I was about 8 they had a nice little ceremony at Church and gave me a lovely hardbound Bible. When I was about 10 a lady at church prophesied (and Presbyterians don't do that!) said I would be a missionary. My parents figured she was off her meds but her I am, thousands served.
When I was about 14 a Gideon gave me a pocket Bible. He was very solemn, wearing a suit.
When I was about 19 and working one of my customers gave me a tract. She was very anxious about it and pushed it on me even after I said I was saved.
A while after I started the evangelism I encountered some Jehovah's witnesses at a bus stop. The one lady kept trying to give me literature and wouldn't take no for an answer, then got a major attitude.
I realized God was using this as an example. So I offer, if they say no I smile and put it away. If they say something like "I don't eat sugar" I might've bring them a cold bottle of water next time. If I'm doing a Handout I move on, and many times the Holy Spirit worked on them and they called me back, or drove back.
At any rate while I've got you here could you please pray for my recipients? And my safety and health? Thank you!
