Knocking on Doors by Keith Cook
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15
Q. What do you get when you cross a Mormon with an Atheist?
A. Someone that goes around knocking on doors for no apparent reason.
We are constantly sending people door to door to work for God. We do not want them to just knock on a door and then not have a reason for the visit, or not have anything to say that really matters in the real world.
At our training GoCamps we play a game called the "Door-To-Door" game. We send people up to a prop door, and as they knock on the door, then an actor who is behind the door, will play the part of different people that they may encounter in real life. They encounter atheists, Mormons, battered wives, single parent dads, elderly, widows, new agers, children, alcoholics, businessmen and women, wealthy, and many more.
It is a fun and a challenging game. They are given advice on how to share more sincerely and effectively. Then, we send them out to real homes in a local community. It never fails that they encounter at least one of the personalities for which they have been trained. They also have many other divine encounters that lead to life and security in Christ.
In sharing door-to-door or life-to-life we must have the right message and the right methods for the individuals God is directing us with. Knocking on doors with the wrong message or no message at all is not consistent with Christ's command to go into the whole world and share the Good News.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for divine encounters and a divine message so that you might share your faith in Christ.
On The Go Prayer Focus: All the local churches, committees, and leaders who will be working with On The Go Ministries and the Keith Cook Team in creative outreach efforts in the United States and around the world.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.
