Last week, several level-one students, Sunset instructors, and many more went on a local campaign. They spent most of the week knocking doors in hopes to set up some Bible studies.

I was helping some classmates move and my week also required a doctors appointment, yet looking back, I wish I had put all of that on hold and participated in the campaign.

Door-knocking has long been regarded as an ineffective outreach. Yet it’s amazing what happens when we step out on faith.

Here are the results:
1138 doors were knocked
645 were not home
326 Were not interested
53 Home Bible studies were set up
35 Requested Bible Coorespondance Courses
2 wanted to be in a small group Bible Study
53 people were interested enough to be called back

Perhaps the dislike we largely have for such outreach methods are lies from the adversary that we have believed and responded by not only disregarding that particular method, but all others as well.

One of the groups that went door-knocking reported that out of 12 doors they knocked, 5 Bible studies were set up! I wasn't a math major but even I know that’s 42% of the people they reached in that time wanted to study the Bible.

Believe it or not, there actually are people out there who are willing to study the Word with us.

We just have to find them. One way or another, we must boldly step out on faith and share the Good News with this dying world.

In Christ Jesus, we have the cure and the remedy and the antidote to all the problems and empty lives in this world.

The question is…will we share it with them? Will we show it to them?

Or will we selfishly keep it to ourselves?
