For those of you who don’t listen to Way of the Master Radio, I’ll fill you in on what this four-minute clip is about. Ray Comfort and Todd Friel do what is called “Phone Fishing.” “Fishing” based on Matthew 4:19 – And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." They have a staff person out in different cities in the US with a cell phone and they approach strangers on the street and ask them if they would like to be interviewed over the phone/on the radio. During the interview, Ray, Todd, or Kirk Cameron will share the Gospel with the individual. They start in the natural, speaking of normal everyday things. Then they deliberately swing to the spiritual and take the person through the “Good Person Test.” The good person test consists of using a few of the Ten Commandments to bring about the knowledge of personal sin and guilt before Holy God – then they present the Gospel.
In this clip, Ray beginnings an encounter with a guy from Australia. It starts out very nice. Ray makes a connection with the guy by speaking in the natural, and as he turns the corner to begin speaking in about the spiritual - you can hear a bit of resistance from the guy.
Christian (fisher of men), I think this is a good lesson for us. Be bold! If the person shuts you down, they shut you down. Every encounter isn’t going to go perfect. It’s a bit comforting knowing that this happens even to a seasoned evangelist like Ray Comfort…hehehehe. Ray and Todd’s interaction after the encounter is too funny.
