| | | | | My Amazon Driver Accepted Jesus on 5-4-24
Michael Edwards
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Rom 10:17 NAS
Tyler is one of the drivers we have for Amazon. I saw him one day dropping off a package and wished I had talked to him about Jesus, but that day I was too late. I always try to be prepared and few days later, when I saw him again, I grabbed a copy of a book I give out and went out to greet him. I discovered that Tyler is a nice young man about 24 years old. After a comment or two in the natural, I switched to the spiritual and asked him if he had any faith in Christ. I found out he had gone to church some with his family when he was younger. I talked to him a bit more and gave him the book and encouraged him to read it.
On 5-4-24, I saw the Amazon van again. It took a while, so I went out to the open side door and said hello. It was Tyler again. He was searching for our package. He greeted me and told me he was reading the book. I knew he was busy, but I asked him if he had just three minutes so I could explain more to him about why he needed Jesus. He said yes with a big smile, I have time.
So, I took Tyler through the good person test, a test you need to learn that uses the law as a mirror to show us how we look before God apart from Jesus. Almost everyone thinks they are a good person because they compare themselves to other people they see as worse. But other people are not God’s standard.
Tyler failed the test and admitted he would be guilty and headed to hell if he died that day. He confessed that it really concerned him. Then I asked Him if he knew what God did so he did not have to go to hell and offered him the gospel. Tyler repented and trusted in Jesus right there on the spot. Pray for him and I’ll follow up.
Please learn to share the gospel and offer life to the lost. I was fearful too when I started. Good person videos. |

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”
Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.99 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.

| | Share Jesus Without Fear (Copy and print out for use.)
The steps to share your faith without fear – no confrontation. Pray and then get them alone.
Ask these five questions to help discover their personal spiritual condition.
Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
To you, who is Jesus?
Do you think there is a heaven and a hell?
If you died right now, where would you go?
If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?
Listen to their answers in a calm and open way. You are asking their permission to share Christ with the last question. If they say no, you can drop it – no confrontation. You have still done the work of Christ and offered the truth.
Here are a series of five Bible verses to ask the lost person to read aloud if you have their permission. Let them read them and remain silent. After each verse they read, ask them what it says to them. If they misunderstand, ask them to read it again until they admit the truth in the verse.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 ESV
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV
if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.… Romans 10:9-10 BSB
Then ask them a series of five questions that summarizes the truth of the verses and lead the lost person to the point of decision.
Are you a sinner?
Do you want forgiveness for your sins?
Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again?
Are you willing to surrender yourself to Christ?
Are you ready to invite Jesus into your heart and into your life?
Lead them in the Sinner's Prayer if they are ready to make a decision. Stay in touch and get them discipled or connect them with a local fellowship or small group for future growth.
