The Police of Acapulco
Smith Cutter spent over a year in Acapulco, Mexico walking up to police officers on the street and telling them about Jesus. You might be thinking, “I could never do that type of evangelism.” Maybe these words from John Stott will give you some confidence:
“The Scriptures say that God Himself is the chief evangelist. For the Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth, love, holiness and power, and evangelism is impossible without Him. It is He who anoints the messenger, confirms the word, prepares the hearer, convicts the sinful, enlightens the blind, gives life to the dead, enables us to repent and believe, unites us to the body of Christ, assures us that we are God’s children, leads us into Christ-like character and service, and sends us out in our turn to be Christ’s witnesses“
(John R. W. Stott, Making Christ Known: Historic Mission Documents for the Lausanne Movement, 1974-1989 (Grand Rapids, Michigan: W. B. Eerdmans Pub., 1996), 238, quote online at Grace Quotes, accessed August 18, 2015, http://gracequotes.org.).
