11/01/25 SOW THE SEED
Martha and I went to west Morehead last week. I engaged a young man in a conversation (since I am 78, most people are young to me), which resulted in a witnessing opportunity. It was another one of those situations where the Lord led us to someone who was open and responsive to our outreach. He has a Christian background but was actually moved when I talked about following Jesus closely. He stated (with visible emotion) that he appreciated what I said to him and it was an encouragement.
Most of the people I meet while out-and-about witnessing live at a distance from my home and my in-person ministry location. This is partially true because I see a lot of people who are vacationing in our area, or they live even further west than Newport. This means that I may invite them to contact me for a follow-up meeting (to answer questions) or an invite to our online ministry (in-person, ZOOM, Facebook, or my Blog.
I encourage them to find a local church in their community that preaches the Bible (salvation through Christ) and where the pastor and parishioners live a Christlike life and love one another).
I want folks to come to The Net House Ministry, but if they can't come and see what we have to offer, I want them to seek the Lord with their whole heart and follow Him fully. Maybe our brief meeting will encourage someone in their walk with Christ or prepare the way for them to open their heart to the Lord.
Sometimes we harvest, but a lot of the time we are sowing seed, hoping someone else will follow up with their witness. I hope you are following fully, and I hope you are witnessing. You too may tell someone about Christ (even someone who has never heard the good news before), or you may help someone who is searching.
