One spring day several years ago, our daughter slid the door open and stuck her head in the van. “Can Leon have a ride home, Mom?”

“Sure, Sweetheart,” I replied.

Jenn introduced me to Leon, a freshman she knew from riding the school bus.

After we were underway, Jennifer said to Leon, “My mom and dad work for Campus Crusade for Christ.”

“Oh…” Leon said. “Halloween!”

“Wow!” I thought. “Where did he make that connection?” I chuckled when I learned it was because of the tracts I hand out every year for Trick-or-Treaters.

Every year, I plan ahead and buy the tracts I’ll need in plenty of time.  I set up a little table by the door with a bowl of candy (it’s got to be chocolate) and stacks of tracts.  I’ll turn the porch light on and plug in our jack o’lantern (since the kids have grown and gone, we don’t carve a pumpkin anymore).  And then I wait.

We’re on a dead-end street so we never know if we’ll have many, or any, trick-or-treaters come to our door.  (Over the years, I wonde...

One of my colleagues approached me  some time ago.  As a young American, he and his friends were talking with students at a major university in a very sensitive country. They were having great conversations with the local young people, but he concluded that the locals were only really talking to them because they were American, rather than because they were interested in the content of the conversations. Their conversations were all about America, and not about God and what God did for those students through Jesus. So, he was wondering how to meet local people and start conversations with them without revealing that he was an American.

Here’s what you could do if you find yourself in a similar situation – your local team can promote our EveryStudent.com website at the university (available in many languages). The local students can then go to the website, explore the Biblical answers to questions about life, faith, God, Jesus, creation, and relationships. The students can easily ask questions about th...

We have two unusual ways to spread the Gospel this weekend.

• Read on my eQuipping for eMinistry blog how more than 2,600,000 visited 200 evangelistic websites in two days!  You can also join a phone conference prayer meeting to pray with others for one million to hear the Gospel on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday.  Two million will hear the Gospel this weekend just through these 200 sites, not to mention all the other events happening globally.  We live in exciting times!
• Also, on the same blog, learn how you can share an anime short film with others using e-mail, Facebook, or on your blog.  This recently released anime film is especially appealing to the younger generation and uses dialogue from The Jesus film to portray the Crucifixion through the eyes of one of the thieves who was also crucified on that day.
