Super Walmart Evangelism

So Wednesday night we had a speaker at church who is a missionary in Morocco. For those of you who don't know about this country... it is an islamic state. That means that there are no more than 1000 Christians there total. That and missionary work is illegal and could get you killed.

So basically he gave us the "be all that you can be" speech. I mean some of the thing he said were harsh. But you know what? Sometimes we need that kind of encouragement and Brandon and I seemed to think it worked. One of the things he mentioned was Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones and how he sees the Moroccan city where he lives as a valley of dry bones. But then he kind of brought it to our world view and said "isn't that how you feel sometimes when you're walking through Walmart?"

-- Laugh --

But then it struck me that Walmart is today's marketplace... the place where evangelism should start. So I began to brainstorm a simple way to spread the love of Christ to others. Here's the plan in simple bullets...

Go to Walmart, probably at night
Ask people if you can pray for them for a need they have
Pray for the person
Give the person a card stating you prayed for them and for what
The card has a URL to "theyprayedforme.org" or something.
People can blog about being part of this community.

That's about it. Simple eh? Easy to do? Technically...
