You 1nu t have to ' do' ometh i11g 1nore." And that was the end of it- for a while. Ten month later Jeff and his fami ly took a trip to Di ney Wor ld. Experiencing extreme back pa in, he was flown home to Elyria, checked into the ho pital, and was faci ng possible surgery. Shortly after he was admitted, I v i ited Jeff and presented the go pe l to him. After a king him if he wanted to call on Christ to save him, l1e said, "Yes, I sure would." That afternoon with his wife in the hospital room, he tru ted Christ, finally realizing that salvation really is that simple and free. Just a few days later Jeff was told that he had cancer. He never made it out of the hospital and in less than 5 weeks he was with his Savior. Is the gospel message complicated? Of course not! So, always be ready to give an answer' ..... . as you go. Have you read tl1e "As You Go" paragraphs in the OIB? Our desire is that the te timonies be a source ofencouragement for believers to take notice ofopportunities to witness during their everyday activities. Have you or one ofyour church family bad an exciting opportunity to share Christ? Perhaps the result was that someone was saved - or maybe a decision wa not made but "seeds were own" for later opportunities for witness. Please take a fewmoments to send u the detail for use in a future "As You Go" column. (The names ofthose involved will not be included.) Help keep evangelism before our people of the OARBC by contributing to "As You Go." Plea e re pond to or write Pa tor David Chapman Fostoria Baptist Church, P. 0 . Box 1005, Fostoria OH 44830.
