    I actually didn't. I'm speaking of communicating the gospel - listening to people ask their questions. See where they are. Know their needs. You can still do that with the deaf without speaking words because you are still communicating to them face to face.

    just keep in mind - that these two "co-pastors" are deaf to the Gospel

    If you did write a letter - I doubt that the intended recipients would even see the letter. Some receptionist would be screening - and without doubt would end up in File 13.

    Want to talk to them? Buy yourself a plane ticket to DC, and attend the church, then talk to them after the service.

    Lots of gay churches here in Denver. Why do you assume D.C.?

    Yes you did. You said one can't share the gospel via a letter or tract and this is false. I sure glad that millions disagree with you given the amount of tracts that ship out each month.

    Deaf ears heh? Probably true. Maybe I won't write the letter.

    First of all - I am not worried about "gay" churches. I do want churches to be happy.
    My problme is with homosexual churches.

    Second - back in post #10 Rob asked you: " Is this church in DC? If so, I just read the WaPo article on them."

    You have not answered the question - So are you referring to the church in DC?

    For privacy reasons I never name a church that I write.

    Yes, millions of tracts ship out each month but how many actually deliver the gospel to an actual person? As you've said, you've handed out thousands and yet in 8 years, have not had one person come to the Lord. The Gospel is much more effective than that.

    Incorrect incorrect. How do I know how many come to faith that I do not know about?

    You are thinking like a pragmatist.

    Doesn't Jesus direct us to make disciples? How can you possibly be making disciples if you have no idea if anyone has even read what you have given out?

    Evan - Are you afraid to sit down and have a social time with someone where you dialogue and show them the scriptures, answer their questions and pray for them and maybe even follow up this time?

    The Way of the Master is always in favor of evangelism but the speciality is evangelism with strangers.

    Get out as many tracts as possible. Talk to as many as possible.

    Look you people are clueless when it comes to street evangelism and it shows.

    Go to got questions.com as it has an article on friendship evangelism and gospel tracts that you people need to read and heed. I agree with both articles.
