Give me your email address and I'll send you his contact info. Plus, we just got an inquiry from another person in Sacramento looking for people to go witnessing with so we can connect you with him, also. (If you don't want to leave your email address on here you can send it to the contact link above.) Hi Kathy, We have a friend, Paul Kaiser, who does evangelism with others in Sacramento.

]]> Comment on Interested In Mall Evangelism? by John Murphy http://norcalseedsowers.com/general/interested-in-mall-evangelism/#comment-256 John Murphy Mon, 02 Apr 2012 22:39:55 +0000 http://norcalseedsowers.com/?p=510#comment-256 From Mina M. I started mall fishing in February with Eastridge being my first mall experience. Since then, I have been able to work all the malls (and I have soooo many stories) and I liken it to swimming in the ocean on a hot day in Santa Cruz California. My first steps into the water are not comfortable. My feet are shocked from the cold waves. But as I get used to it, I can go deeper and deeper in the water. Before, I know it, I'm swimming the waves and riding the waves and diving into the waves. I'm not feeling the cold at all. My apprehension has disappeared and I am fully enjoying God's creation. And so my fishing experience at Eastridge began as the unknown, cold waters of the million dollar bill with the million dollar question. I was thankful for my training yet prayerful that God would show up and minister. This very tall guy was flying by as I gave him a track and since he was friendly enough, I said "Come back if you have time and we can talk." Well about half an hour later, he was standing right in front of me. "Hey you came back" I said very light heartidly. "Let me ask you the million dollar question. What do you think happens after a person dies?" and we were off talking for at least 15 minutes. He said a relative of his was very religious and so I guessed God had been working on him. He had a 1 year old son with him and his birth saved him from himself. As we went thru the Good Person test. He admitted in the end he was guilty but that God would send him to heaven cause God was good. I then explained the Just Judge concept that God can't let criminals go and be good. He got it! Then I shared the good news of Jesus. His face changed in an amazing way from the beginning of the conversation to the end. I felt the Holy Spirit. I held out my hand and said salvation is a free gift and receiving Jesus is just the beginning of his journey. I prophesied over him but I can't remember what I said. I'd love to share everything we talked about; subjects from a higher power to the exorcist...but I can't recall it all. I gave him a Bible and am praying for him. His name is Christian.....for real....go figure? After he left, I got down on my knees (my son said, mom, what's wrong?) trying hard to hold back tears. God was all over this guy. His presence was too much for me. Pray for him as you read this. I have since learned that I can give out a list of churches in the area. I have also made my own cards, for those that do not want to go to church but still have more questions. I want to be available and ready for whatever God has. Let's continue to follow Him into the harvest. Mina From Mina M.

Thanks for that long talk we had last month. God has been around every corner and it's been great seeing Him work. Thanks to your advice, I often say to apprehensive people, "Hey, I'll take the Good Person test with you." It works great. I have had so many conversations with people and seen their faces change. I've been brought to tears at God's presence and felt the extreme sorrow over 4 teenagers love affair with the world. Overall, it's been amazing and I am hooked on fishing. Thanks again for that training session at Terri's and your prayers. Stay tuned on this web site for some of my stories. Love, Mina PS: I highly recommend a new book called Viral Jesus (recovering the contagious power of the gospel) I met the author and God used it to ignite me. Hi Dena,

No, not at this time, although I have been contemplating putting something together, with the help and advise of other members of the team. I think it would be a good resource to make available. I'll let you know if and when it happens. Thanks Clint! No, not at this time, although I have been contemplating putting something together, with the help and advise of other members of the team.

We love what you norcalseedsowers are doing. Your 4th of July float was a great idea and I'm sure you got a lot of Word out that day too. Are there any seed sowers here in Sacramento besides me and my husband Joe? Blessings to you. Kathy and Joe Leonard We pass out million dollar bills and livingwaters tracks here in Sacramento.

I could certainly make some suggestions, although I don't know any mall-specific evangelism resources. Come to think of it, sounds like a really good idea for a blog post. I'll have to get on that right away. :-) Dan Thanks Clint. I could certainly make some suggestions, although I don’t know any mall-specific evangelism resources.
