You have probably heard of the animated children's film, All Dogs Go to Heaven. You have probably not heard of All Russians Go to Hell. "What is THAT!!??," you may ask. Today, I taught the conference attendees about EXAMPLE...how Jesus ministered for three years to give us a model for our lives and continuation of His ministry to people.
I also did an iReach personal evangelism training, and like always, after the book knowledge was imparted, we took it to the streets, out where the people are.
The curious phrase mentioned above came out of the mouth of a man named Vitali. He was outside of his home in the freezing cold (registered at just 5 degrees F). Andrei my interpreter and I were walking around, inviting people to the gospel crusade, and we approached him. I asked him if he knew if he was going to Heaven. He immediately responded with Soviet-era pessimism: "Ya rooski." "I am Russian. All Russians go to Hell!" I jumped on my opportunity, telling him that ALL of us would go to Hell if not for what Jesus did. In the blistering cold, Andrei and I shared the Gospel. When I asked him if I could pray with him, Vitali at first seemed hesitant. Finally, he explained that he was afraid to pray because he didn't know how and was concerned he would offend or anger God! So I told him I would lead him, and Vitali ended up receiving Jesus as Lord. Praise God! Slava Bogo!
