The annual
Tlaxcala State Fair was the perfect outing for our youth group- not only for a
time of fellowship and fun, but also to put into practice what we have been
learning in our weekly evangelism course: sharing our faith in Jesus Christ
with others!
We ate
hot-dogs, watched a puppet show, admired the exhibition farm animals, and
browsed through the fair stands before dividing into pairs to pass out tracts and
start conversations about life after death with some of the thousands of
Saturday fair-goers.
I marveled at
the Lord’s work in our youth! For many
of them, just giving an evangelistic tract to a stranger took a lot of nerves,
but most of them even went a step further starting a conversation about life
after death and faith in Jesus Christ.
Even some of the most timid
youth talked to at least one or two
people! Most of the people at the fair
were receptive to the tracts and message: two people actually thanked the youth
for sharing with them, and expressed that they would share the message with
their families! The youth pumped by the
experience,
and spent the whole ride home sharing stories of people they had
shared with and their responses.
Some of the
youth have already started to evangelize outside youth outings! Daniel (15-years-old)
overheard his
friends at school talking about the Day of the Dead (popular
Mexican holiday), and jumped in to ask them what happens after death, and
shared with them the Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ! We pray that all of our youth were be
faithful to present the Gospel where they are as well!
