WITTY INVENTIONS FOR EVANGELISM

by Oscar Woodall

" . . . to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery" Eph. 3:9a

"For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions."

As grace believers, ministers of reconciliation, ambassadors for Christ, we continue to encourage one another to utilize every means possible to spread the Word by life, lip, leaflet, and ELECTRONICS to enable lost souls to be saved and saints to be edified.

Recently, we have been privileged to participate with believers in the Wisconsin, Minneapolis area as they sponsored a weekend conference on Personal and Corporate Evangelism. Brother Doug Dodd and I were involved with field work before and after the meetings. Through this effort, God saved a 29 year old man whose wife had been praying for his salvation for ten years. An 84 year old man was saved. A mother of two and wife of a 40 year old airline pilot was also saved.

Brother Richard Jordan and others preached in the conference sponsored by the saints at Chippewa Falls and Minneapolis.

A new "Opportunity for Evangelism" program has been launched as a supplement to grace believers who desire another means for personal and local assembly soul-winning outreach. In principal, it centers around "telephone evangelism." By this type of outreach, your lost friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, classmates, or any others may be referred to a phone number to call. They will hear a message of how to be saved and subsequently become grounded in God*s magnified Word.

If you are interested in using this kind of witnessing by telephone and would like more information, please don*t hesitate to contact either of the following people for a detailed explanation of the service: Ron Thomson (initiator of ministry) at 813-977-0557, or Oscar Woodall at 352-242-0830 or e-mail wanaBsaved@aol.com. We would be happy to describe it to you so you can suggest it to the lost people you know We hope to hear from you regarding your witty inventions to communicate the gospel of the grace of God to lost sinners.

Mr. Woodall lives near Orlando, Florida, with his wife, Dorothy. He is the founder of Eternal Life Ministries, and is active in personal evangelism everywhere he goes. He ministers the Word of God regularly in jails and prisons.
