Should Christians witness if they get a chance in bars and jails , knowing  there are people they can reach for the Lord?

Do you see or not see anything wrong with witnessing in certain places or buildings?

Could there  be a time in our life that God might ask us to go to a certain person who could be in a bar and witness to that person , what would you do? (of course not to drink with them )

Also what would you do if your work has a meeting after work and they decided to have it in a Mormon church?

Where would Jesus go?

Matthew 28:19-20 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mark 16:15

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'”

Like all us servants did, Jesus would have carried a sign so that God's believers would see the message written on it and come to listen to the gospel that Jesus preached to them.

   I have,I even worked in a bar/restaurant   ...I'll tell you this,ya just never know where God may send you ,I don't ask many questions,I only ask for confirmation and then I go.....once I'm where I was lead to go its usually more confirmation & then I quickly see why I am where I am.......I don't care what anyone thinks about me,I don't care what anyone may say,I only care about being used by God & thats why I keep saying "Yes,Yes,here am I".....I always think of God giving the Assignment to someone else and I want it if it is for me-He gives us the Words to say(or not to)

   The funny thing is that so many quit the job after their hearts were Convicted & some people would not come in anymore & my boss would say"Why do I keep you,well-you are the only one who doesn't steal,doesn't cheat and has the highest sales?????" BUt still,he would hear me & know he lost an employee or a customer,lol    Anyway,that was for a time & then on to the next Assignment.......I say"Just TRust God & go wherever He leads"    I can't begin to tell you some of the places I was in....I did hair & make up for "adult entertainers" also.....it was difficult but Jesus has no problem with anyplace full of sinners ,they are starving,hungry & thirsty.....I certainly don't recommend it for anyone not firmly established in the Word of God or struggling with temptation themselves.....                       All Glory to God!                                           With love;-in Christ,Kwik

Jesus didnt go anywhere or do  anything from his own imagination  or interpretation of scripture he went where the father sent him and to whom the father sent him. If you aresent by the Lord to testify in a bar you go. If you arn't you don't.

Amen Sis..... When I think back it sometimes blows my mind where Ive been,very surreal but it would have been impossible to do anything good by our own work or effort..... I know what you mean , the darkness is like a weight of great force( almost crushing) ... Cant let it distract you or frighten & discourage .... You have to do exactly what you did and remain focused on Jesus, the Word.... Then you have & bring His Peace..... I used to day to myself" okay, the Prince of Peace is here with me, in me and through me.... Praise Jesus

     Love you Angels

I do not go into bars. I don't drink. I think it is best for a jail chaplain to witness to those in jail. There is a time and place for everything and I think that witnessing to those in jail and bars is not the best choice.

Mark 2:13-17
