AGWM personnel in Lyon, France, Ed Buck, is involved in various ministry activities, one of which is evangelism. He works with street-witnessing teams which go out regularly to share Christ in various ways. He tells of their recent activities. “Each week, eight street-witnessing teams report to various points in the city – usually subways stops. We don't really have eight days in a week in France, but two teams go out on Thursday, so there are eight “sorties” each week. After a couple months, each team will be transferred to a different point in the city. In this way we hope to reach as many people in this city as possible.
At each location, team members distribute invitations to evangelistic services, and try to engage people in conversations about eternity, salvation, and our need for a Savior. Even though most people won't stop to talk, we have been surprised by the positive responses. When we first arrived in Lyon, many people would become angry or fearful at the sight of a tract. Now, most people will take an invitation, and some people will stop to ask questions. Many people smile at us, rather rare in France, and some will even say “Thank you” when they receive an invitation. God is giving us favor! We trust these seeds will result in growth of God’s kingdom.
