- While Denver parties, witnesses impact eternity
27 Aug 2008 at 1:00pm
DENVER (BP)--As thousands of people converged on Denver for the Democratic National Convention, a small group of Southern Baptist street evangelists arrived in the city to make an impact far beyond even a four-year term in the country's highest office. They came to make an impact for eternity.
About 80 volunteers from throughout the United States and a group from Canada hit the streets of Denver on Sunday, Aug. 24, just as attendees began checking into hotel rooms and checking out nearby restaurants. They are distributing "Eternal Life" tracts and striking up conversations about the Gospel with anyone who will listen, concentrating many of their efforts on Denver's 16th Street pedestrian mall, where visitors eat, shop and frequent bars.
"The first day was pretty slow," said Ron Clement, team leader for church enrichment and evangelism at the Colorado Baptist General Convention. "Part of the challenge is that people attending an event like this have a higher awareness of their worldview and less receptivity to other viewpoints."
Clement said some volunteers sharing Christ with DNC attendees were met with suspicion because the tract they were using had the word "life" prominently on the cover.
