This came into the Fish with Trish and I thought you would find encouragement from someone else who took the One-To-One Challenge to share their faith:
Hey Trish...I live in Denton, Texas and listen to way of the Master radio all the time. I have your web site and took your challenge. I'm an airline pilot and I travel a lot. Yesterday I was in Hawaii walking when i was approached by individuals trying to sign me on as Green Peace members. I took the challenge to them.
The first young man whose name is Alex, received the msg and acknowledged after hearing the law that he wasn't a good person. He said however he wasn't ready yet to make a commitment to Jesus. He still had too many unanswered questions.
The other young lady began to eagerly listen to me. But after she knew where I was going with this, she stopped me to say she believed she had heard this before. And her boss was standing near by so she better get back to work, She excused herself and I abruptly had to finish...Oh well First time experience. Next time Ill have a couple of tracks to hand them..

Fish with Trish- Ramos Worship "From Everlasting"
My husband and I wrote the chords and lyrics to this song...
It's called "From Everlasting".
If you would like to play this song at your church
we have provided the chords and lyrics below.
FROM EVERLASTING
I don’t know exactly what this first chord is
but it's sort of in a C add9 formation with the index finger
on the first fret and on the E string and it's played open.
You can probably figure it out by watching the video.
We will call it a C add9 (strange chord) as in strange chord :-)

"I guess I haven't really taken it seriously...one day I will."
Tyler was on Hour 1 today of The Way of the Master Radio.
He admitted that both his mom and dad have been telling him
about Jesus and what Christ did on the cross so that he can be forgiven.
"I guess I haven't really taken it seriously...one day I will." He explained.
Tyler if you are reading this, please don't wait another minute...listen to what Ray said, and what your parents have been telling you
and get right with God today!
From what you told me, it sounds like your folks really care about
your soul--so take it seriously and think about it today
because tomorrow might not come...
remember you're young but not too young to die.
Thank you for taking the time to be on the program today.
If you would like to listen radio broadcast it starts around the 40 min. mark.

Will you take the One-2-One Challenge?
So you've passed out your first tract and maybe you've passed out far more than just one gospel tract and you're ready for more. Great job! Now I'd like to encourage you to take the next step and talk with someone about the Lord.
Here's Challenge Number 2:
You have one week from today to talk with an unbeliever about Christ. I call this a one-to-one evangelism encounter. You can talk with someone at the grocery store, the mall, or at work. Maybe you have been wanting to share the Gospel with your neighbor or family member--then post your story below on my blog or email me at email@fishwithtrish.com.
If She Did It--So Can YOU:
Below you will find a few accounts from my dear friend Michelle (21 years old) who took me up on a challenge I extended to her a couple of weeks ago. I gave her one week to witness to one person. Below is what she wrote me. I think you will find her writings encouraging. Michelle writes day-by-day and describes step-by-step what she did. I hope these writings relieve you to know that you're not alone in taking bold steps to overcome your struggles and fears to share your faith:
1st step towards my challenge...

Hi Trish, I had to work tonight and I got a 15 minute break. In the break room there were two other people taking a break at the same time. Pheobe, Matt and I got into a conversation about religion. Matt said he didn't believe in anything at all. Pheobe didn't tell me what religion. I told them that I was a Christian. Phoebe asked me "Are you a die hard Christian?" I asked her what that meant. She said "Are you one of those Christians that say you have to do this or you are going to hell?" I told her yes. She decided to say "But I am a good person. I'm close to perfect." I told her that "No one is a good person and that only God is perfect." She kind of chuckled and I had to leave because my break was up and I had to go back to the check stand. I just wanted to let you know how my week is going so far with your challenge of having a one-to-one conversation. Although I haven't gotten there yet, I am working my way there and plan to have one by this Saturday like you challenged me to. I love you so very much! I can't tell how much you blessed me on Saturday. Thanks. Michelle
Another baby step...

I walked up to a girl at my college campus and asked if I could sit down.. I asked her what she was studying and she was studying for an accounting test. I pulled out my bible and I started to pull out a tract but then I put it back. I got scared and didn't start a conversation. But it was a step. I actually said hello to a girl I had never met before and walked up to her and asked if I could sit down. I felt so depressed when she left. But I am moving forward. Michelle
Well... I did it. I initiated my first one-to-one conversation.

I did it Saturday night around 6pm. I initiated my first one-to-one conversation. Here is my story. I had been watching a couple of girls beside a fountain down in Glendale and they were just chatting together. I felt this deep feeling inside of me tell me to go and start a conversation with them. I told myself no in my head. But it kept nagging at me to share with them. So finally I said yes.. My heart was pounding in my chest. I looked at my dad and said to him that I want to have a conversation with the girls. Oh no... I thought there is no turning back now... My dad asked me if I wanted some back up and if I wanted him to go with me. I shook my head yes. So we headed over to them.
We walked up to the girls my heart still pounding in my chest. I had a couple million dollar bills with me. "Did you get one of these?" I handed it to them. "Do you know what the million dollar question is? What?, they asked. "Do you know what happens to somebody when they die?" Silence. She said something that I don't remember. I had no idea what to say next. I looked to my dad for help. "Well what do you think you have to do to go to heaven? Be a good person?" he asked. One of the girls said "yes." "Would you like to go through a good person test to see if that is true?" he asked. "Yes." I then took it from there. "Have you ever told a lie? Yes she replied. If I lied to you what would you call me? I don't know, she replied. I then look up at my dad again for help. He said "It rhymes with fire and starts with an L." She shrugged her shoulders. "Liar." I asked her "Have you ever stolen anything, even something small, downloaded music that you didn't pay for?" "No." "Have you used God's name to express disgust, like saying Oh my g.." "Huh" She wasn't understanding. Her friend standing next to her try to explain. "Like saying Oh my God." "Yes." the other girl said. That's called blasphemy. The girl still didn't seem to understand. The other girls phone started to go off. She said "You know what we have to go. Our ride is here." "Oh Okay." I said.
And that was it. That was the conversation I had. After that I talked to my dad and he said that he thought there was probably a language barrier between us...After that I was able to hand out about 4-500 tracts that night. When I got back to the car, I broke down in tears. I was so sorry that I couldn't really get in a deep conversation and share the gospel with those two girls because I was literally shaking with nervousness, my heart pounding and stuttering my words a lot and they had to leave as well. That was a huge step out of my comfort zone... Never before had I taken so huge a step in my life to share the gospel with someone.
About one week later Michelle share the good news with another person, she writes:
My friend and I together were able to have a one-to-one conversation with two 15 year old boys. We were able to get through the law and the gospel between the two of us. It seemed so much easier sharing the law and the gospel when I had someone that ping-ponged back and forth with me. She would do one section and then I would and we would go back and forth. Love ya! Michelle

Enter to WIN a FREE copy of "Springboards for Budding Preachers”!
This is a 5-CD, 1-MP3 disk set, with forty-one messages. Living Waters no longer carries this. However, they do carry the transcripts in book form. I had an extra copy of the CD/MP3 set and wanted one of you to have it. Here is what to do: Leave a comment below with your name and some way for me to contact you if you win (email or blog link is fine). Comments will be opened through next Monday and a winner will be randomly chosen next Tuesday. Open to U.S. residents only.
What's the set about? For more than two and a half years, Ray Comfort and Emeal "E.Z." Zwayne, preached the gospel on public land in front of a courthouse in Bellflower, California. Each day they were able to share with between 40 and 60 people who were lined up waiting to enter the building. During that time, an estimated 30,000 people heard the gospel. However, on Friday September 30th, 2005, a Los Angeles judge issued a court order forbidding free speech on public soil — not only outside of the Bellflower Courts but on the grounds of more than forty courthouses in Los Angeles County. Fortunately, our sound-man Stuart Scott recorded the last 29 days of the preaching.
