Never Enough Time - Share Your Faith Workshop

Morant Bay became more alive as we infested the streets of the busy town where the Morant Bay Baptist Church is located to share our faith.

On April 21, 2012, the team comprising Dwight Kelly and myself (Stacy) made the journey from St. Catherine to St. Thomas. We got right into the workshop after devotions led by the host Rev. We had a very participatory crowd today and they kept us sharp and on our toes. We did our usual checks to ensure that they all had a hand that particular day as it would be quite essential to the workshop. We never really take this lightly or for granted as we are aware that there are many without limbs. But God is very creative and has other great designs for getting His word into the hearts of people.

Now after picking on a few willing participants I found out not too long after I was picking on a pastor. Good thing he didn't seem to mind at all. See him in action below.

Practice time is a must as it is one of the most effective ways that persons learn; practice by doing. And so we got them practicing as soon as possible. There is always a cry of sorts when practice has to end :).

I always encourage attendees to come to the front and participate because they get more practice time and we are all there to help them. They are not always willing participants but with some encouraging they always come up and do a great job. Allan was one such person who took over the teaching of the hand presentation. We even had to start over at one point as he instructed so we could get it right.

These attendees were beautiful inside and out and continued to display a true sense of commitment to the purpose of learning to share their faith. We did some OJT and got some wonderful reports on professions of faith and just how easy it was for them to engage persons on the road. As usual it never seemed to be enough time for them as some came back long after the agreed time (lol). When they did finally return, they would have missed the instruction to report on the most significant encounter and go on to tell us of the many great experiences.

Many would say we have time on our side, but we are reminded that time is only guaranteed now and so we must make use of whatever time God allows us to love each other and share the free gift of eternal life with others. Tomorrow is promised to no man so why not serve Almighty God today. Feel free to drop me a note if you want to talk more about sharing your faith with others or if you would like to receive the free gift of eternal life. The time that I have, I want to share with you.
