Hospitalized Spouse; prayer he returns to childhood Faith

Q: My husband is hospitalized for surgery, and I would like him to come back to the Faith he learned of in his youth. Pray he gets saved in Christ. 

A: It is great that you want to share Christ, and quickly with your husband. May the Holy Spirit guide you. 

Here are some ideas:
1. Share this with him, "Why Christianity?" Article. You can read or let him. 

And THIS if hes able to see and hear... (show this video)  and ask if "hes ever understood the Gospel that clearly", and then ask "if he wants Christ as His Savior"?. If so, let him [suggest to him to pray]. You could say "pray to YHWH in Jesus name for the forgiveness of his sins as he trusts Christ to save him". Then ask if you can pray over him. Also encourage him to Tell a nurse he just became Christian! As a easy way to give testimony of his Faith. If you know a nurse who is Christisn, ask her to come over to help celebrate his love for Christ. 

* these are short. So if he's not well and has very short attention span, and alertness, and hospitalized... these two will be best. 

2. This has objection answers to most popular ones, but if youre not sure theres time to go through it, if his life here is short...gleen what you can in it for conversations where he might bring it up.

The goal and prayer is to come to Christ, as eternal Hell for those who die in their sins is "worse" for those who heard and rejected the Gospel. Be faithful to present it. 

3. If hes able to watch one hour videos, or break into 30 minute sessions, these will help about God, Jesus and Christianity. Try to complete one video a day, and ask if he has questions. If he's alert, seems fine, snd sble to watch these all in a day or two, shoot for it, cuz he might not have much time. It can all do 99% of the work for you. 


Probably watch these *after* reading Why Christianity, after those videos then show the Gospel video, and use the Evangelism resources after that if needed. His other hang ups can be dealt with after salvation. Belief can come with "believing based on reasonsble evidence". We all keep getting our questions answered after salvation, but if we die before then, at least we are right with God, and once in eternity... we'll know it all. Make sure he understands that.

If he comes to Christ, and hes stick in hospital, you can give him headphones and a mp3 device to play the Bible (the Gospels), maybe download it to a tablet device; load a audio Bible app (to the Gospels)... and show him how to play it for when you are not there, if tech challenged. And power cord usage. It would be great for him to get through it, in case he passes over to meet his Savior while there. 

And if you know a solid church in the area, if they have outreach ministries, mens group or decons or chaplain ask if they could go meet him, to rejoice in his salvation, help answer his questions, fellowship, and help read the Gospels to him, or help ensure his devices are charged and he knows how to use them. You can find a church here. Make sure he is willing to have visitors, and once you get back home, call some and see if they'd bless a new believer, with these needs. I'm sure they'd be glad to serve him! 

"Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10

*If he doesnt come to Christ while you are there, he heard the Gospel, might think in it, and God might bring him to repentance before he dies. So have hope and keep praying. Then leave it with God once he passes. 🙏

God bless

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...
