The challenge of evangelism fires the zeal of the Lord's servants! In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, our Voice of Youth campaign was a venture of faith. We experimented on two main points, and the results were most encouraging. First, the meetings were held in our own church building, and although the attendance was not as good as it might have been had we held the meetings in a neutral place, we were encouraged by the response, and especially so when backsliders were seen among the audience.
Second, we began our meetings at 7:00 P.M. instead of the usual 5:00 P.m. This hour is almost unknown as a time of meeting in Tanzania, but we believe the change from routine did not detract from our meetings.
My associates were the young people of our church, and one night a week they had full responsibility for the program. Fifteen dear people took their stand and were baptized, and the holding of the meetings in the church raised the spiritual tone of the entire membership. This brought great rejoicing to my heart. I am soon to celebrate my third birthday in solo public evangelism and once again I want to dedicate my all to the winning of souls for my Master.
