Being God's Messenger

Hey,tonight in a parking garage in San Antonio I witnessed to a man and a woman on the elevator. I was wearing a name tag that says "Messenger" on it, (I’m a Messenger at the Southern Baptist Convention) and she had been praying for God to give her a message on how to change her life. When she saw my tag saying that I was a Messenger, she asked me how she could change her life.

Her husband was with her. They want to give up some bad things for their children's sake. So, I was their "messenger" tonight. Told them about a relationship with Christ and how it starts there--I explained the cross and how their past was behind them with Jesus. She was in tears as I expressed the hopefulness there is in knowing Jesus. I clearly explained the gospel, but I think they need to digest it, so I gave them each a booklet/tract I was carrying about Eternity.

Anyway, I got their names, phone, and email to follow up. I'll find a good church here in San Antonio tomorrow to follow up.

Note: sent an e-mail to them from my hotel room and look forward to hearing from them.
