Sadness greeted me first this morning. Today I went once more with my missionary brothers to evangelize in the street. We were on our way to the place where we were supposed to do evangelism, and in the opposite direction a large car was passing. The car flung a rock and hit the windshield of the car I am getting ready to sell…
As a way to talk to people I often use an evangelical newspaper. I participate in both the preparation of articles as well as the techno editing and printing. What made me smile was the fact that a gentleman confused me with a great man of God who died decades ago. After I gave him the newspaper and went away some distance, he cried out to me: “Sir, are you Traian Dorz?" On the last page of the paper was a poem written by Traian Dorz, who was a famous mid-century Christian poet in Romania. If only I could at least be Traian Dorz's apprentice!
For my work on the newspaper I had to go into Town Hall. One man at the office looked down on me when he found out I wasn't Orthodox. As I was leaving town hall, I met two other gentlemen who apparently worked there. I offered them the newspaper and told them that I helped publish it. One of them said, ”I guarantee you didn't make it.” So I took out my I.D, showed them my name, and told them that if they called the number in the paper, the phone in my pocket would ring. They were surprised, and both accepted the paper. I think it's time to prepare to print a new issue of the Path of God newspaper.
Our old stock is almost exhausted. The newspaper remains one of the most effective tools in evangelizing because of the ease with which we can get in touch with people and for its diverse and rich teaching content. For those who wish to financially support the publication of the next issue of the Path of the Lord please contact me privately! Let the Spirit of the Lord grow the seed of the gospel which was sown this day.
