I don't think it's about simply waiting for people to come to us. I think, though, it is about us listening to the Holy Spirit and being aware of when it is time to speak and when it isn't. Also, we need to learn to listen to the Holy Spirit to know what to say when. Taking the analogy of fishing, a good fisherman knows when to fish, where to fish and how to fish. Thank you for your thoughts. I hear what you are saying. I don't think it's about simply waiting for people to come to us.

It needs to be intentional. Jesus calls us to be a fisher of men, and I know enough about fishing to know that fish don't jump in the boat. I understand we need to be Spirit led, but that doesn't have to mean we wait for people to come to us. I have written stories about my evangelism experiences at <a href="http://www.everyday-evangelism.blogspot.com" target="_blank">www.everyday-evangelism.blogspot.com</a> I'd be interested to hear your opinions brother!
