Jesus Freaks??

This will be my last miracle story.
This one was pretty scary.

~~~~~

Mark and I came from similar backgrounds of drugs, alcohol, and bad relationships. We were so happy to be "saved", together and out of that life that we just wanted to tell the world.

We drove to the North Carolina coast and began walking with the cross. We had an old, really old, beat up Chevy van with a pop-up top that we had put a queen size bed in, that's where we lived while we were out being Jesus Freaks. I couldn't even begin to tell you all the stories from this trip, but, this one I remember very clearly.

We couldn't walk with the cross on the Interstate so we followed the secondary roads that run parallel to the interstate which allowed us to see much more country and visit with more people. It was slow going so we really got to see things.

We would begin early each morning, I would drive the van a mile up the road and Mark would walk to where I was, stopping along the way to talk with the many, many people who pulled off the road and wanted to know what we were doing and why.

This particular morning we were somewhere in Tennessee, in a very rural area. There had been nothing for miles, very few cars, we had seen very few people.
I was sitting in the van with the windows down. I had my big ol' Scofield Bible up on the steering wheel reading.
A pickup truck passed me going in the opposite direction, slowed down, looked at me and drove on.
In a few minutes the truck came up behind me and three very rough looking men got out of it.
One of them stayed at the back of my van, leaning on the hood of the truck, one of them went to the passenger side of the van, the other one walked up to my window.

Okay ladies.... what do you think was fixing to happen???

The one that came up to my window started asking me questions about why I was there, what was I doing, where was I from, that sort of thing.

To be honest I was never afraid until it was all over.

Every time he would ask me a question, I would answer him with something about Jesus. We are out here carrying the cross telling people about Jesus.

step back

We are doing this because of what Jesus has done for us

step back...

Every time I would say the name "Jesus" each one of them would take a step back. By the time I was really preaching to them about needing to have a relationship with God thru Jesus they were backing away and getting in their pick-up truck and leaving.

never saw them again.
