Teaching by Doing

Teaching by Doing 

Recently, my brother David Day invited me to join him for evangelism outside the Montgomery Biscuits' Riverwalk Stadium. He encouraged me to take my two oldest girls, six and four years old, along to pass out some tracts for the first time. So I asked the girls if they'd like to come along, to which they both replied excitedly, "Yes!" Their excitement built up throughout the week until we got into the parking deck. My oldest said, "Daddy, I'm scared and nervous." I replied, "So am I, baby." So we decided to pray and sing Isaiah 41:10 (thank you Corner Room!) and our fears were calmed. This was just one of many, many teaching and learning opportunities that the Lord provided to my girls and me. We covered everything from what God expects of us in evangelism, His effectual calling of men to Himself, natural man's downright refusal to submit to God, their rejection of the gospel, how God calms and uses us despite our fears and shortcomings, and much more. I've never been in a context with them where I had their attention for so long and they listened so intently.

I'm grateful for this first experience, and I won't soon forget it. Lord willing, there will be many more like it! Take your kids' witnessing. I promise everyone will be blessed!
