Canvassing

Here are a couple experiences I had one day this summer. Don't mind the poor writing, I just typed them up quickly when I had a few minutes.

Today I had some awesome experiences canvassing. The first door I went to a young man answered. I started off by showing him one of the DVDs, of which he was not really interested. We started talking and he told me how he grew up in a Christian home but was now an agnostic. He was interested in studying a variety of things, so he had actually studied some bible prophecy. I told him how awesome it was that he had such an open mind and how he would really enjoy the Daniel 2 DVD. He decided to get it, and come to find out, he was only a junior in high school.

A little later on, there was a lady walking into her home from her garage. I canvassed her and although she was not interested in the books, she invited me inside to get some water. I went in and chatted for a while and showed her a couple of the books and DVDs while in the process. She grew up in a Christian home and valued Christianity, but was not interested in going to church or being religious as far as going to church. Her mom had given her many Christian books which she had never read. A few minutes later someone knocked and there were two of her guy friends there to visit. I chatted with them for a little while and then they asked me what I was doing. I told them what I was doing and asked each of them about their religious background. One had a Buddhist mom, but neither of them were into religion. I showed them the DVDs and two tried to convince the other one to get it for the movie night that he wanted to do. He didn’t have any money, but I suggested that he ask his friends and the other guy was  really impressed with the presentation that I had given and he said, “Man, you sold me! That was awesome.” So they all ended up pitching in $5 for the DVD to watch during for their movie night. I found out during the conversation that they knew each other because they are drinking buddies.
