Some of you might remember the story of my student–we’ll call her Kim–who was involved in a car wreck. In the New-Orleans-post-Katrina-longer-than-usual wait for the cops to show up, Kim told her new “let’s trade paint like we drive in Nascar” friends about Christ. I labeled the her tactic Car Wreck Evangelism (read it here).
While at a local mall, my friend Ashley decided she’d give it a go. Ashley is the wife of one of our Pastors at Valence Church. Here is her husband Page’s account:
Ashley and I have been praying for us to meet people to share the Gospel and invite to the church plant.
Ashley had an accident this afternoon in the parking lot of Lakeside Mall. A girl hit the front end of our Camry. There was no major damage, except for the hood.
Nevertheless, she started talking with the girl and found out that she is a graduate student at UNO and from Indiana. Ashley asked her some spiritual questions and found out that she is a Christian but has been looking for a church in town. Turns out she lives and works in Uptown. Both she and her roommate are looking for a church.
Pray for them as they may be visiting with us next Wednesday.
You have to laugh, unless of course you’re the one in the car wreck. While it makes for a very cool story, I kind of want to encourage everyone to try other methods first ;^)
