Mission Experience

Last Wednesday night I headed out with a group from the ship into the town of Landskrona with the intention to spread the Gospel amongst the people there. We split up into groups of three people to make it less imposing. I chose to go with two good friends from the ship, who like me had not prepared for the journey so we had no tracts or bibles or anything. Also we didn't really know what we were doing so we spent a lot of time walking around the town looking for someone to talk to. After much walking we eventually ran into a man with a dog sitting on a park bench. My friend Todd patted the dog and then we began to chat with the man. I explained that we came from a ship in the shipyard and we had people from over 50 countries on board and the ship goes around the world selling books in countries where books are hard to get, and that we help out with building projects and disaster relief. Then I added that we spread the good news of Jesus Christ. He said "Oh, you believe in Jesus?" "Yes" - "You believe in God" "Yes" - "What is God's name?" - I didn't know where he was going with this but eventually we figured out that he was a Jehovah's witness. We talked with him for a while working out the differences and trying to challenge him about freedom and relationships. I prayed quietly while Todd asked more questions. Eventually I think we caused him to stumble a little and maybe he had to re-think something, but overall we didn't get very far before he decided he didn't want to talk any more.
It was an interesting experience, I'd like to know more about witnessing to other religions. Please pray that I receive more of these opportunities in the coming weeks.
