My husband is itching to do another Bible Handout!

[Acts5:41]

I just need to figure out when.

We already figured out the where. It is a new spot, closer to home, and a great location because it's a very long light.

We have a lot of errands to run the next couple days, but we will be heading out to the Bible bookstore soon.

Or, I guess I could use the 50 or so I have now. I'll have to talk to him.

It has been a joy to see him develop his faith and assume the role God has called him to; evangelist.

Nothing more fun than two evangelists, married. We are always giving testimony and handing something out.

I was teasing him, we went out of town overnight when my parents came to visit. He was lamenting the lack of tracts and I told him, "Evangelists are never off the clock!"

Go Heather and Hubby (I think I've seen you called Heather on other posts, forgive me if it is wrong).

I could do with a little of your chutzpah. I can witness, no problem but feel cringingly apologetic when handing out stuff so I'll just cheer you on from the sidelines

[Shannon9602]

God bless you guys.

[notdecieved]

[Genesis22]

Yay!!!! That's so exciting! I'll be praying for you two and the people who you will reach.

[Acts5:41]

You got it, Shannon - I'm Heather.

Actually that was my handle before the board split.

I was a very timid child; that's what has my whole family gaping over the handouts. It's clearly, Him, in me.

With all the attacks we had after our last handout (Ron came with), from a worldly standpoint we are "nuts" to do this again.

His will, not mine.

I just want a hug from whoever gets to Heaven, on account of the handouts.

[pixelpusher]

Praying for the recipients' hearts to be tilled with conviction, and praying for your protection and safety. And for a nice spring day with good traffic flow, while I'm at it... : )

[Acts5:41]

Bibles are coming!

I need to do some haggling tomorrow. I am very thrifty with God's money.

I lost my God Time prayer notebook, I write out prayer requests on paper and pray on them every day. I can't find the notebook, but I had a backup so I am re-copying. I really feel I need to get back into that, be a better prayer warrior.

It is VITAL to pray for the recipients! Please do! I know the only reason I can do these handouts is because I have coverage. That wasn't coherent.

I was pretty sick last week but I'm feeling better now (bladder infection). Whoo. I have been taking my health for granted.

I also started a new medication that is making me a lot more alert, and helping me lose weight. Excellent.

[Poppycat]

Good to know your medication is still doing you good Heather. UTI's can be a pain. Will be praying for your 'handout recipients'.

[Acts5:41]

I came home today, and in addition to parking in front of my house, again, the "neighbor" had put his full garbage can in my yard...

I was rather annoyed, until I saw the TWO CASES on the porch.

What's this?

YEAH! BIBLES FOR HANDOUT!

I see a lot of tract-stuffing tonight.

[Acts5:41]

I have Spanish, inbound, too.

If I don't distribute them this time, I'll get them on the next handout.

I did snag some very nice entire, Spanish, Bibles at Walmart for less than $2 each. I'll hand out those, and my Spanish Gospels of John, on Tuesday.

Oh, and Ron's balking.

Just because it's going to rain!

I love the rain.

So, I will just put the Bibles into quart sized zip locks and then distribute. I have a raincoat, and a poncho. The poncho is purple. I will look like the fruit of the loom purple grape.

Or, put my reflective vest over the yellow raincoat and go that way. I will probably do that. Wear my warmup shorts and old shoes that don't mind getting wet.

I have plenty of zip locks. I have a whole bookcase full of evangelism supplies.

Only I'd consider a ziplock an evangelism item.

I think the pity factor will help get them distributed even quicker.

I did a rainy day handout in 2010, back when I had a cardboard sign. It went great.

MY sign is laminated, water just peels right off.

Oh, yeah, I did a rainy day handout on Christmas morning, 2010. I forgot about that. That was more of a drizzle.

I'm just waiting to hear back from a couple of people on the "Praying for you daily" cards.

Just for fun, here's a photo of my with my FIRST sign. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...eat=directlink

[hurryupJesus]

You are so encouraging and inspiring to me! I need to start praying God will show me how what and when to hand out my Bibles and tracts. I'm scared.

[Acts5:41]

Oh, I was the original coward. My parents are completely shocked that I do this because I was so fearful.

Example, a bully pushed me down on the blacktop when I was in the 2nd grade. I was TERRIFIED of the blacktop (asphalt) part of the playground. I used to cry if the teacher made me stand on it.

I battle a lot of anxiety, depression, you name it.

But, it all goes to 2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV

See, we think we have to be good enough for God, but He LOVES working with flawed, broken, souls. He can shine His grace and love through us, and our lives, and make us shining beacons of hope in a very dark world.

#1. We have to be willing to be used.
#2 When He tells us to go, go. He will give us what we need to do the job. That's kind of the whole point, I think. If I could do it on my own - did I mention I had panic attacks standing by the road after my husband's accident? I still do? He was hit by a car.

But I can stand on a median strip with 2-3 lanes in each direction, next to an even busier highway, because He is using me to do it.

Anything good you see in me, and the work I do, is Him. I'm just the crazy woman with the sign.

That said, there are a lot of fun ways you can distribute Bibles.

Do you know how many hurting soul's you'll find at your hospital's ICU waiting room? You could put a few out for the families to find (my first official handout). You can leave a Bible anywhere anyone will wait (a lot of places!). They'll get bored and pick it up. Put a note in it "Please take me home!" so they will feel OK taking it.

[Archangelmom]

Heather, just wanted to let you know that our family is praying for both you and Ron, for the recipients and for salvation for those that you hand out those Bibles to!
Love you sis, go out and do God's work!!

I have been in the hospital twice so far this year. There was no Bible there like there used to be. The second time, I had to go by ambulance in the snow, and I took my Bible with me. I couldn't believe that they didn't have Bibles. Wait a minute, yes I can. In healthcare you have to be politically and culturally correct now. Heather, you are an inspiration. I'll be praying for you and the receipients. For me, the only evangelizing I can do is on the internet. I changed my FB page to all about God and Jesus. Praying that will touch some souls; suprisingly, and Praise God, not one of my wordly friends that I used to hang out with have unfriended me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great idea! the hospital! I need to go put my stuff in my car now, cuz I always forget it at home!!

[Acts5:41]

I got the cards today, I am signing them. I took a couple "done up" Bibles (Bible with tract, "where to look in the NT", and a nice "I'm praying for you" greeting card) with me today and handed them all out.

Then I came home and the water district has 3 guys digging up my front yard. I got them some cold drinks and "candy" - candy in a ziplock with a "Done up Bible"!

it is definitely raining tomorrow.

All my "done up" Bibles are going into zip locks. I have a rain coat. Ron will "come with" and establish a base camp at McDonald's nearby.

[Acts5:41]

They're all done up.

Interesting, either the greeting cards and/or the zip locks have added a fair amount of bulk. I have an entire milk crate, plus a full tote bag.

I also have a nifty yellow slicker and an old pair of shoes. We will probably get some severe thunderstorms.

Please pray for the recipients!
