This was a new experience for me because my wife and daughters came along! We set up near the Hunfnagle Park playground so that the kids could play and I could make my coin rings and talk to passers by. It was also the Lewisburg Craft Festival at the park so lots of people were out and about.
My big take-away was the importance of being a community member. Lots of people stopped to talk who knew me. It felt less like street evangelization and more like going to the park with my kids and chatting with friends.
Towards the end, a woman stopped to talk who knew me because of my community involvement, but I didn’t know her. That said, after only a little bit of conversation, we realized I already knew of a very difficult situation that directly effected her, and she said she felt safe talking to me about it. She was a Christian and had the correct Christian standpoint, but I was able to affirm what she already knew: that God could redeem even the situation that ached her heart so much.
We parted with prayer and a hug.
