Our ministry recently had the privilege to legally assist some missionaries who had some unusual issues. Helping others remove legal red tape to take advantage of every opportunity to reach the world for Christ is our calling. These missionaries had a reputation of reaching dozens of people for Christ in their city each week, but they were in danger of being pulled off the field. We could not let that happen. Each individual you meet has an eternal destination. Every missionary, pastor, and, yes, every Christian has a mandate from God to tell others about the good news of the Gospel.
Each week, our legal missionaries travel for legal meetings, court hearings, and depositions. As we travel, we have the unique opportunity of handing out Gospel tracts to strangers in airports, on airplanes, in restaurants, and many other places around the country. Because of what we get to do for the Lord, we can serve others who are being hindered from sharing the Gospel in the same manner. God’s Word will never return void, and it will plant a seed for someone to reap. God has a plan, and it includes every person taking the initiative to speak about Christ.
We are also in many churches and conferences throughout the year that inform others of how we can help. Your legal right to witness is paramount to God’s plan for your life.
What can you do today? Take a moment when you stop for a meal or drive through a fueling station to hand the worker a Gospel tract and introduce that person to your Savior. We have tracts available that you can use if you need some. The Gospel is good news, and it is the best news anyone can ever hear!
If you are a pastor, think about putting the Gospel on your website if it is not already there, and make your address and phone number easy to see so that anyone can easily find you if they have questions.
If you are a believer, you can be the wisest person in your area. The Scriptures reveal that “He that winneth souls is wise.” With the most careful thought, let us also remind ourselves of the reverse: God is telling us that it is unwise for us not to win souls. Ask God for wisdom, and He will give you the boldness to win souls.
If you have questions about how to take the first steps in reaching out to others about Christ, speak with your pastor. He will guide you through the process and be glad to teach you. You can also reach out to us here at the Christian Law Association, and we will be glad to help however we can.
