Last night I went with Team Hope to share our faith with people in downtown St. Pete. Our group went to the Baywalk movies theater area. Although it wasn't crowded, there was still no shortage of people to talk with.
I engaged in a conversation with a group of three teenage boys after handing them a tract. I simply asked them, "Can I ask you an interesting question?" After they said I could I asked them, "What do you think happens to us when we die?"

I shared with them what the Bible says happens to us when we die. I was focused more on one guy named Robert who seemed to be the most interested in the conversation. When Robert said he thought he was a good person, I asked if I could give him the good person test. When he complied, I explained why God gave us the Ten Commandments and ran through a few of them with him. What's interesting is that his friend Skyler became very solemn, and with complete conviction said "I am such a terrible person."

I shared with Skyler that that is exactly why God gave us the Ten Commandments, to use them as a mirror to see our own sin and imperfections. I went on the share the gospel with them and they really understood it. I don't push for people to make a commitment on the spot but rather make sure they know what they need to do to be saved and encourage them to do it in their own time.

Skyler said he had to think about it because, although he wanted to make a decision, he wanted to do it later, when I was older. Of course, I told him that our next breaths our not guaranteed and no one knows if they will get 'older'. I prayed with them and left Skyler with a copy of Mark Cahill's book, "One Heartbeat Away"
I know God is working on their hearts. Please keep them in your prayers!
