Visitation

Saturdays are visitation days. We go out door knocking; inviting people to visit our church, but most importantly, giving the gospel. I was always so embarrassed to go out soul-winning. (I felt like I was out selling something!) I don't know if everyone feels like this when they first go out, or maybe even after so many times of going out, but I couldn't get myself to knock on peoples' door, give them a tract, and tell them about Jesus. I would hope that the people weren't home, or wouldn't answer so that I could just leave the tract on the door. And when they would come to the door, I would be so nervous, that I would just give them the tract, say very little, and walk away. I would tell myself, "you have such a big mouth, use it!" But I still couldn't/wouldn't do it.... until recently! I now have this desire to tell people about Him, by the way, this is something that I have prayed for, and He answered! I enjoy going out on visitation, and God has taken those feelings away (I still get a bit nervous though.) That doesn't mean that when I'm out somewhere I start telling everyone about Him, so pray for me. With His help, and your prayers, I can be the witness that He wants for me to be.

I think it is natural t feel like this @ first, but you get used to it. Just like everything else, you keep doing it long enough it becomes easier, & you won't get so nervouse. I still do. Today I ran into an ex coworker of mine, he is the gouchiest man I have ever know. He welcomed me and we talked about work, but I got to the subject of Salvaion, & he just nodded, like he didn't want to hear it. Then I told him,"ok sir, but can I give you Gods word & inviye you to church." He said it was ok, so I did inveite him & he thanked me for the invitation. WHo know he might just come, just pray. Visitation works Baby jusy keep it up. I will be pryinf for you. Love You.
