Saturday, we had an outreach for our church. We stuffed clear plastic door hangers with candy and church information distributing them throughout our neighborhood. I tricked out my pickup truck as an icee truck complete with speakers and the ice cream truck jingle. I installed a bumper carrier with a cooler, ice shaver, and 8 different icee flavors. We gave away free icee’s (and a church info packet with each icee). Folk were genuinely receptive. We didn’t go door-to-door, we drove up and down the streets and folk came out to us. Later that afternoon I thought, “I hope several people come to church because of our efforts.” But then I realized that I had done the right thing whether anyone comes to church or not. You see, it’s my job to spread the word, but it’s God’s job to convict the heart. And if I do my part, God certainly will do His part. Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” I believe what Jesus said. Do you?
