Open Air Preaching and Wiccas?




I am so blessed that while my husband is stationed in St Pete, Fl I have a great team to go witnessing with. Every Friday night the team gets together and most times we go to downtown where there are many things happening. We had a group of about 20, so we split and go to seperate areas. I was with a group that went to a park the kids call The Rock. Is is just a giant man made rock and this is where the alternative kids hang out. You never know what you are going to encounter there. Drugs, alcohol, runaways, etc. People just so lost. When we first arrived there was a group with drums, tambourines, etc playing. Isaac started off the night doing Open Air Preaching while they were playing. They were not too happy about him being there. Although I did not have a chance to talk to them, I think by some of their comments that they were probably Wiccas. A couple of business men from out of town came to see what all the commotion was and listened to the open air. It turns out they were brothers in Christ and they even felt led to pray for us right there. Praise God! Of course, I had to talk with them about how many times in the last week they had shared their faith and they both shook their heads solemnly. I had a few opportunities to share the Gospel with lost young people, but spent most of the evening talking with 2 very intelligent young men who were 20 and dressed full on as goths. Lots of black, and many piercings. Craig was very engaged in the conversation and described himself as an agnostic. His parents and other relatives were Methodist pastors, etc. and he is not sure what he believes. I was able to give him the full gospel and he listened intently and had some really good questions. I gave him the book One Heartbeat Away and he seemed sincere that he would read it. Please pray for my new friend Craig. Another great night of sharing.
