(Some of you reading this may not know I'm a youth pastor by trade and am currently in Holland on a mission trip with them)
Best story from yesterday: There were three teenagers at the basketball court at the same time some of our teens went over to play. They asked one of the teens what he was reading. His answer, "The Bible." While he was smoking pot. Naturally, our teens jumped on the discussion after he said that he didn't believe it but it had great stories. Best question he asked our teenagers: "So...if there are no works that can cause you to be saved, isn't "faith" a "work?" Stew on that for a moment, evangelism fans.
That's why I'm a firm believer in trips like this, besides the inherent nature of "going forth." Our teens are getting real world experience...and responding well, I might add. They sat up last night talking about that question.
Open statement to Mike Messerli: If our website at www.ragmops.net/holland/index.htm isn't working you may want to give Mike Bascue a call as we know he has all our stuff from our most recent upload...and feel free to give this site to anyone who wants to check out what we're doing in the meantime. They can simply hit "comment" to respond and we can hear from them. And, by the way, Mikey, the Gospel has been presented here three times in three days!
