I would have to say the most unique soulwinning expperience I had was at a carnival. While my daughter was in one of those things that the kids bounce around and jump in I got to talking to a teenage girl named Angel who was working the ride. I suspected that she may be a runaway and began sharing with her how I ran away from home as a teenager and worked at a carnival. She wouldn't admit that she had run away but did say things were very bad at home. I tried to encourage her to call her mom and talk and told her I knew how hard it is to feel all alone in this world. I told her how I felt that way for years until I met Jesus. I always carry my New Testament in my purse so I pulled it out and was able to share the Gospel with her right there. Fortunately there was no one waiting in line and the kids ,including my daughter got an extra long time in the bouncy house. After many questions and much scripture Angel bowed her head and sweetly asked Jesus to be her Saviour. While we had been talking I had told her how Jesus gives us a mansion in Heaven and that I was hoping for one with a big wrap around porch. As we said goodbye to each other I gave her a tract that had my church's information so she could contact me if she needed to. I told her that if I never saw her on this earth again that I'd see her in Heaven. As I walked away she said I'll look you up in Heaven...I'll look for the wrap around porch.
I think of her often and pray for her. I never would have thought the awful time I had as a runaway teenager would someday open the door for me to share the Gospel with someone.
