Week 78

Back in June and July, I went to the MasterWorks Festival (Google it) for four weeks to whip my horn chops into shape. Most of my performances were done by the third week, meaning I had too much time to kill in the last week. Hmmm... How to kill some time...?

WEEK 78- Preaching the Gospel with David

So David is a saxophonist (Christ died to save even saxophonists) from California. We were in the same program at MWF, so we got to talking a little bit, and Gospel preaching sounded like fun, so we went for it.

We drove to a Walmart in the middle of a conservative Indiana town, got out of the car, and started talking to people. Sort of.

I say, "sort of", because the moment I said, "Could I interview you?" or "Could I ask you a question?", people ignored us completely. It was weird. I've never been in a culture where talking to people- not even about Jesus, but about anything- in public is so socially unacceptable.

We tried and tried and tried, and no one would talk to us.

We found one highschool-aged kid, who gave us the time of day, but said he didn't want to participate.

So that was my Gospel preaching experience that week. If I go back next summer, I want to try again. But I'll have to be more creative. Maybe a smoothie stand.
