    A lot of ppl may think you are crazy but I think this is a great idea. Maybe ask their permission and thank them even if they say no. good luck and let us know how it goes. The world needs more love and kindness in it.

    (Matthew 24:14) .And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

    (Matthew 28:18-20) 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.

    19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,

    20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

    (Acts 1:8) .but YOU will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU,

    and YOU will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de′a and Sa·mar′i·a and to the most distant part of the earth.”

    Praying for someone without a specific purpose has no meaning. A person can't be accepted by God unless he/she wants to be. What they need, it is know God and what He wants from them. The only way is to study the Bible with them, so they can see for themselves and make a choice.

    Going up to people a lot of times is hard. Unless you feel like the Holy Spirit feels like leads you to do this, I would try to stick with the people you know. Which is actually harder. Friends, neighbors, fellow students, co workers, and family members.

    You certainly are capable... whether or not this attempt will go over well is another thing.. most people would be annoyed or creeped out by you.

    Yeah sure doesn't bother me. Just don't force feed your religion upon others.

    It's not a good idea. Some people find that offensive.

    Please don't. It's SO annoying and totally pointless. I know you really believe in this stuff and you think it's all true but it actually isn't. You know, like in reality...
