You get on an elevator because it's a few floors up. The first floor a married couple gets on with you. The second floor a man and a woman. For some strange reason the electric shutdown on the elevator. The emergency light on the elevator works. You're the only Christian. Maybe this is a good time to witness for God? The one thing though is you have no bible on you. So in this 3 hour dilemma being stuck on an elevator and having no bible simulate this situation in your mind. What do you say to these people? Imagine that these other people our members of worthy. Say all the things you would say to them.. whether bible scriptures etc. Remember this... since you don't have a bible on the elevator you also can't look up any verses. Try your best what you know about things you know about the bible, God, salvation,etc.. As I remember in the book of Peter we are to be ready with an answer.

You are all standing there in the glow of emergency lights and someone starts talking about double glazing! How do you react? That is how most peoplewould react if in that situation you start teling them they need Jesus as a saviour etc etc etc. What you do is talk to them, introduce yourself and chat. Find the emergency phone and either use it or encourage who ever has it to use it. You are looking for signs of panic and seeking to keep anyone looking nervous from panicing. If the conversation offers an opertunity to talk about your church or your faith then take it, but everyone is stuck in the lift unable to walk away. You would not appriciate 3 hours of double glazing sales talk, neither would those trapped be overjoyed to listen to a three hour monologue about their need of Jesus. We need to be sensitive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pathetic in social situations and really poor at trying to witness, I get all awkward and weird. So I would probably start frantically hitting every button in elevator and then back away into the corner slowly and sweat quietly.
