Hi, dear brothers and sisters!
I´m not that experienced evangelizing, but every time I have the opportunity to talk about Jesus I do it! And I love doing it! Sometimes I guess I was able to give the message and make some colleagues and friends to think about our Lord and get closer to Him. I´ve bought several Bibles and christian books to offer to people that really need our dear Lord Jesus.
However, sometimes it can be hard to evangelize. So, yesterday, I was with a couple of great friends and with the mother of my female friend. The one that is "closer" to Him is her (my female friend), considering herself as the usual "non practicing catholic". My male friend is close being atheist and my female friend´s mom had a catholic education but simply chose to step way from religion. Anyway, the conversation was overall good, but when one started to speak about abortion, why people suffer so much, why there are children severely disabled, things became complicated. They simply could not understand why I was saying I was against abortion (in any circumstance, even why women are raped and why the fetus/baby has physical problems or will be severely disabled). Both of them (my female friend and her mother) were in fact shocked with my opinion that only God can give and/or take life!
Then the usual thing saying "I can be an atheist and still have many values and be a very good person with good deeds, so why is Jesus needed?" Questions like: "If God told "Thou shall not kill", why is so many violence in the Old Testament, and why authority forces kill, then?" I explained the best I could, with Biblical support, but still I guess they were not convinced. And of course, once again the conversation ended up with me hearing: "You´re fundamentalist." I´m ok with that, I have no problems regarding what other think of me, because all I want is to speak about God´s Word and will.
I guess this the way, again, for the Lord telling me I have to be much stronger in Him, wiser and know His word much better, in order to be more "efficient" in future situations like these...! May He help me spreading His divide Word!!
God bless you!
