  1. Thanks
    banner over me was love got a reaction from John Young in Near Confrontation During House To House   
    In my door to door experience [though not my forte, per se, yet, I'm more of an simplisitic person, bypassing doors altogether - computer screen let's me right in the homes, etc ] out where I live [well sorta], depending upon the neighbourhood, we get all classes of people, rich and poor [epescially in the apts, trailers, etc], old and young and all manner of religions, wiccan, islamic, buddhic, hindi, atheist and a wide variety of 'christianity'.
     
    In one more middle scale neighbourhood [probably close to $400K to $1M+], what looked to be a 4 year old answered the door, and no one else around.  I crouched down to eye level, once I realized who opened the door, and gave the little person several DVD's and books and materials and basically said share these.  I figured, well, if the parents are gonna let the child answer the door all alone, when either they aren't home at all or not looking, they might at least come across their child attempting to play the DVD's.
     
    The brother I was with, also walked up on two kids [probably teens 15ish] that were in a parked running vehicle, that were in the back seat all buckled up, while the door was wide open and no one else around [like I said, it was more more middle scale neighbourhood and parent probably ran back into the house for something], and practically scared them to death, they both looked at each other quietly and probably thinking he was about to hijack their parents vehicle with them in it [he's awesome Samoan, love my brother].  He said, "Hi Guys!" and handed them some DVD's and materials and they looked so relieved after he left.  I laughed so hard.
     
    Most encounters were short, brief, thank you or no thank you, though a few turn into a conversation about who we are and what we're doing out and about and what the materials are all about.
     
    On those particular outings, we tried to make sure everyone we visited got several DVD's, book, magazines, and other goodies, bookmarks, Bible study guides, sign up cards, etc.  if they didn't desire one thing, we tried to make sure they at least went back with something, even if it was just a webcard listing the various sites they could visit.  Though there are some that even turned that down.
     
    That's when we would get them through mass mailing.    Got the choice for everyone.  TV, Radio, Internet, Paper, Print, Billboard, Mailing, Bumpersticker, Decal, clothing, etc - global world-wide mission.
     
    We generally went in teams [2-3's], about 12-14 of us together, and worked various areas and then all came back and talked about our God given encounters and providences and/or any Bible studies picked up.
