Sharing the Good News - Drive thru evangelism


Nobody was in this line but as we got to the window the face staring back seemed a little overwhelmed. I asked if she had been working hard. She nodded in the affirmative. I told her she needed a raise and gave her a million dollar bill. Her eyes widened. She smiled and gave me my meal and change. As we drove away we heard her yelling to her co-workers, “Have you guys been working hard tonight!”

I used to think that tracts were ineffective, somewhat tawdry and cheap. As I thought about it I realized that in certain cases it was the only way to get the message out. If I really cared about that clerk, waitress or receptionist wouldn’t I write a note to her asking her to consider what would happen when she dies? Of course I would. Well-made, professional tracts are just that kind of note.
