On Saturday, I went with a friend to Camas, Washington to go door to door. Since she attends a local church there, we planned on leaving a flyer for the church along with each tract.
The first house we went to, the couple was out working on the yard. "Hi, I'm Pat, & this is Paula; we're just passing out this little tract. It talks about God & Jesus..."
"Oh, praise the Lord" the man said. His name was Paul, and he said both he and his wife attended a local Nazarene church. They were very friendly and seemed to enjoy the visit.
We next talked with a man who said he believed in God, but was not really interested in church. As he started to mention that his wife was a Jehovah's Witness, she appeared in the doorway, and came out to talk to us. Like most people in Camas, she also was very friendly, and even commended us for going door to door.
After a long discussion about whether Jesus is God, we left her with the tract "The Jehovah's Witness Bible Proves that Jesus is God". I was surprised she accepted it, as usually, they don't take literature from other faiths. Before we left, she agreed to pray. We all prayed that God would reveal to all of us His truth. I think this is a safe prayer to pray, as it asks God for help without putting down someone elses beliefs.
Finally, we talked to a man that said he used to go to a pentacostal church, but apparently had quit some time ago after a divorce. He accepted the tract & seemed to agree with what we shared. We then prayed with him about some issues he shared about reconciliation between some family members.
It was an interesting outreach in that we only covered 3 houses in the space of 2 hours because everyone was very friendly and seemed to enjoy talking with us.
