Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast with Dr. Daniel King, where Daniel interviews full-time evangelists, pastors, missionaries and normal everyday Christians to discover how they share their faith, their powerful testimonies and amazing stories that will inspire you to reach people with the good news. And now here’s your host, missionary, and evangelist Daniel King.
Evangelism Student (00:54):
Thank you. I got like, you go to the places, like as you mentioned, like as you were talking earlier, the door, Lord always open the door. There’s always a key. Yeah. So like, how do you know that key? That’s the key actually. The Lord is actually telling himself. Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:09):
So this is something that Marilyn Hickey told me. Marilyn Hickey, great female evangelist. She told me that every country has a key that will open the door to share the gospel in that country. And every country is different. And, and sometimes even within a country, you’ll have different things. So like in Africa, one of the keys that draws people is miracles. You advertise miracles. Sometimes in Africa, people will walk two or three days to, to get to the crusade because they, they desperately want a miracle. But then we advertised miracles in some other countries and it seemed like not as many people were coming. Like we, we went to Indonesia and we advertised miracles. And there there weren’t very many people at that crusade. And so the next time we went, instead of emphasizing miracles, we emphasized the music. And we found that lots of young people came when we were, we had talked about all the special bands that we had and, and that that was the attraction for them.
(02:17):
And so we had Christian bands up there playing and we had all these, you know, 17 to 18 year old kids right out in front of the platform. They’re all smoking and, and dancing. And, and then we got up and preached the gospel. You know, but the reason those young people weren’t coming is cuz they, when we advertise miracles is cuz those young people like didn’t need a miracle. Like if you’re young, you’re usually healthy, you’re strong. And in Africa, there’s no doctors. So the only way for them to get healed is to come for miracles. But sometimes there’s other keys that can open the door. So in, in, we were did a event in Sudan, South Sudan, and we were able to give away eight big truckloads of food. Wow. And we found that food was the key that unlocked the door in, in South Sudan.
(03:06):
And so you, you really have to ask the Holy Spirit to give you the key that will open the door for the country that, that you go to. And every country’s going to be different. I mean, there’s gonna be common themes between different countries, but what works in Thailand is not necessarily the same thing that works in Africa. It, it’s a different atmosphere. It’s a different, and so you, you have to be smart. You have to be wise in how you organize the crusade, what attracts the local churches to be involved, what you know, how you relate to people. So all of that goes into it. Great question. Thank you. So the, the how to find the key. You find the key by talking to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows the key. You gotta go to the throne room of heaven and say, God, help me. Tell me what’s gonna work in this place. Are
