Report Article
A single lady professor at a seminary in The Philippines invited my wife and me to go to an island resort with her. We agreed and soon we were on this beautiful island south of Manilla.
She arranged for us to do some snorkeling nearby. The tour guide was to prepare a delicious meal on the beach. Sound like fun? It was.
Before leaving I jumped into the pool. The only other person in the pool was a Filipino lady who asked me where I worked in Manilla. After I told her that I worked at a seminary, she said, “So, are you a Christian?”
“Yes. I am. Are you?” I asked.
“No, but I have wanted to be a Christian ever since a relative told me about Jesus.”
I spent several minutes laying the foundation for accepting Christ, then I called the professor and my wife to the side of the pool to witness her accepting Jesus as her Savior.
I have shared the gospel with many who did not accept Christ at that time. Paul says in I Corinthian 3:6 (NIV) “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
As one of my teachers said, “Maybe your job is to move the ball down the field a little bit.”
Obviously, only the Holy Spirit can convict the sinner and bring him into a relationship with Christ. So don’t feel as if you have failed if they don’t accept Christ immediately. When the Holy Spirit has been working in their life, you simply pick the fruit. When you are instrumental in leading someone to Christ, it is an incomparable thrill!
“Lord, use me to share your truth with those around me. Amen.”
Sharing Christ is my purpose and passion.
