everybody knows the E word..."evangelism"...does that word stir up the same images for you as it does for me? Christains who participate in evangelism have an image problem...the impressions we make certainly create perceptions for those who are watching and listening...then their perceptions become their reality...what if the world's perceptions are right?
is there a better way to lead people to Christ...to lead them to a life altering decision...to help them establish a new world view and have God as a part of it? when is the last time you led someone to Christ? how did you do it?

Do they see Christ in me? That is a very real question to ask when it comes to evangelism. I don't know if I led this person to Christ. I haven't heard from him since I was in Iraq. He was my direct supervisor and a self-described agnostic. We would talk, after everyone was gone, becase he would ask questions. Many of you know I lead the worship team at church there and he was interested in that, too. There are so many emotions one can feel while in Iraq, and I experienced most, if not all, of them. But, I expressed to him that I trusted God in everything that was going on. After several weeks, he attended a few services and expressed to me that he had a feeling in the pit of his stomach he had never felt before. I knew what it was and tried to explain what it was. He mentioned he didn't have a Bible, so I got one from the Chaplain (The Message version), put an inscription in the front of it and left it in his chair in the office. I am pretty sure he took it and I pray that he is reading it. Did I lead him to Christ? I don't know for sure. I reckon I will have to wait until we get to heaven. If nothing else, though, I introduced him to Christ and the Holy Spirit will do the rest. I thank God for putting him in front of me. He could have very well been the reason I went to Iraq!
I am sad, not for a very long time.
