Popcorn Used to Witness to Gangs

I went back to Denver Sunday afternoon to spend more time witnessing to the Gangs down there. On the drive down, God said, “Go and pick up 4 big bags of popcorn at Costco and take them with you.”

I had a cooler full of bottle water for all of the gangs. The first gang I talked to shared with me for a long time while eating two bags of popcorn. None of them gave their hearts to Jesus Christ at this time but they let me pray for all of them before they left the park. I went over to the second gang and asked, “Do you guys want some popcorn?”

The gang excitedly responded, “It would be great to have some popcorn.” I proceeded to bring out the popcorn and water. As they started eating, I read Jeremiah 29:11.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Two of them came over to stand by me. One of them asked, “Can God really forgive me?”

I said, “If you ask for forgiveness, my King will forgive you and forget all your sins. Your hearts will be transformed and my King will give you a new purpose for your life.”

They both gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. I received the opportunity to take them back to their parents. Their parents were Christians. My King gets all the glory and the victory.

The second Gang thought it was funny that I brought popcorn to both of the Gangs. Both gangs I am sure feel that someone does care about them. Pray that a seed has been planted in their hearts and I am hoping to be able to witness to them again sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
