11 yo sad his friends havent embraced the Gospel yet

Q:  My son (11) was in tears tonight over his two new "unsaved" friends. He’s been giving them gospel for like three weeks and they haven’t repented yet ❤️😂. 
🙏Please pray for the salvation of his friends, and patience for my sweet son!

A: Tell him to 
Keep praying, living out Christian life and keep sharing! We are only to plant the seeds - God does the harvesting!

Idea: Have him try using a video clip. He can text it and get their thoughts. 
"I appreciated your time the other day, and your honesty. I am wondering if this [short vid clip] helps it make more sense? Let me know. needGod.com. Happy to answer questions (or pray with you) anytime🙂."

Also make sure he has resources to answer questions (until he has them memorized [and with Scripture]).

Gift treats and [diff] tracts to them on Easter, Christmas, New Years and Halloween. 

Let him know there is hope for them while they are alive. I know of people who got saved at 70, 95, 100, 102 and 107! Plant seeds and even if they dont get saved till 25, 35 or later, he will have been used by God in that process that led them to Christ.

How do we leave someone after a gospel convo?

Q: What is your evangelism routine after evangelizing to a new person?  What is a good practice to do before we move on to the next person? A: After the convo you can give the " will think about it " person something free like Scientific facts in the Bible or Why Christianity tract if you didn't give a tract. Then leave them with God.  If they say they realize they were a false convert  & got saved today, then they have been in church before and likely have a Bible. Direct them to a biblical church nearby [that you have on a list in the area you are evangelizing and in that county]. If they don't have a Bible you can give them this  https://livingwaters.com/store/books/bibles/the-bibles-four-gospels/ probably avail on Amazon if out of stock. It has the Gospel in it and steps for new believer in there, to further guide them.  If they're a new believer, ask if they have a Bible. If they don't or have a catholic or cult version or kjv, offer them 1. the book ...

What if someone rejects a tract?

Q: What should my response be when someone out right rejects a Gospel tract?   Many that have say “If this about God or Jesus, I don’t want it.” A: If you're interested in having conversations, that's a great opening! THEM: Is that about Jesus? I don't want it!  YOU: Actually, it is. I'll save it for the next person, but I'm curious, why don't you want something to help you think about the importance of Jesus?  Listen to them and that may open the door for you to share the Gospel. If they refuse to open up though, wish them well and move on. Do try to probe. It may open doors to talk. Have ready some answers ready to top 5 expected rejection reasons the person has about religion or Christianity, or Jesus, and you might be able to chat & swing to the Gospel. Put the focus on Jesus not the people who claim to be his followers or religions that claim to be Christian. Use if questions like If God is real or if Jesus is God and if he went to great expense and le...
