A Tale of Two Outreaches - Redcliffe & Manly

This really struck me when as I was handing out tracts among thousands of people celebrating paganism, a lone piper began to play Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.

The Flourishing of the Gospel in Redcliffe
John shook my hand and said, “Thank-you for talking to me and answering my questions. When I was a child my Pastors would not answer the hard questions, yet you stand here and give me very good answers. If they had answered, I am sure my life would be much different.”

I then followed up, “Zane, if I said to you that you deserve Hell, but Jesus paid the fine for those who trust in Him, would that be good news?” Zane smiled and exclaimed, “That would be tremendous news!”
