It was deathly silent—not a breeze, no vehicles passing, the birds spoke nothing. The short walk from the lodge to the trailer in the black night held utter silence. A thick cloud cover hovered in the air above and if you did not look toward the civilized buildings you would think that you were the...

When I first heard about the Challenge II, I was excited because I loved the first one! But when I learned we were supposed to witness I considered backing out, for that was very much out of my comfort zone! Talking to anyone I didn't know, even a Christian, was a terrifying prospect.

The Lord gave Priscilla and I the wonderful opportunity of passing out Gospel tracts in a park on Sunday afternoon. We prayed that He would bring into our path just the right people He wanted us to encounter. Feeling assured that He would do just that, we entered our “mission field”! Our encounters...

On the Thursday of the soulwinning week during The Challenge II, I noticed a girl I had never met studying a textbook. I knew that the Holy Spirit was prompting me to share the Gospel with her. I went over to her and invited her to a Bible lecture. Then, I began to ask her if she thought she was a good...

During this challenge, I learned that being prepared to share the gospel makes a huge difference in helping me overcome my fear. I became convicted that, if God’s kingdom is truly my priority, sharing Jesus should be the first thought I think when I meet someone, so I am not caught off guard.

These past couple weeks have presented many exciting opportunities to share the gospel around the world! Not just here in Illinois, but in Washington, Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, Hungary, Switzerland, and Romania!
I think the most important thing that God taught me was to pray beforehand that He...
