Why You Should Always Carry A KGP

Today I worked all day from 10.30-5.15
I expected it to be a normal busy Saturday, selling, talking, doing not a lot else! And it was, besides the busy part - I didn't do a lot today.
Here's the story:

So I was just at the counter and this guy came up to me and said 'I know this might sound weird but I'm doing this personal development program and one of the things we have to do is give this envelope to a random stranger and they have to read it to me. I don't know what's in the envelope. Do you wanna do it?' So I took the envelope and opened it and read it. Sure enough it said something about a program and thanks for doing this for the person..lalala. The questions were things like 1) When do you feel most loved? etc etc... And so I was like...'Well I'm working at the moment but would like to do this properly so I'll go on my lunch break and we can sit down and talk?'

So we went and sat and I went through the four questions with him. Found out he's been going to this personal development crap because he previously was an atheist and wanted to figure out where his place was in life. Anyway, he said all sorts of stuff that was semi buddhist I think, where yourself is a god and it's all about you blah blah.. And then after he finished I told him that I was a Christian and asked what his experience was with that. He said he'd been to a church when he first began searching and didn't like it's morals or teachings and it turned out that a few months later the leaders were convicted of fraud or something. I told him that sucked that he had a bad experience..BUT 'Do you know what Christianity is about? And has anybody ever shared the Gospel with you?' He said no. So I whipped out the old KGP and shared the Gospel with him.

It was insanely awesome/crazy. He didn't become a Christian or anything but he was definitely listening. And it was a pretty quick gospel presentation coz I had to go and actually eat lunch and he had to go. But we swapped numbers, he took the KGP and I told him to text me if he read it again and tell me what he thought of it. In hinesight...may not have been the best idea to give him my number, but I'm trusting God with that. Because I KNOW God was all over this. Out of so many people in the shopping centre, this guy came up to me and it so perfectly led to spiritual conversation and was the right opportunity for me to share the Gospel.

So that's why you should always carry a KGP, you never know when God will present you with the opportunity to serve Him. (Or alternatively, Why You Should Always Carry the Gospel In Your Brain)
