if I was a girl

I'd like to be more like this girl:

OK,just got around to watching this, and really? You don't think she's too focussed on hell? Id love to be that confident in my evangelism, but I can't say I'd like to be her.
Especially almost threatening people into believing in God, which in my experience, especially with the age group she was speaking to, rarely works.

Correct me if Im wrong, no doubt somebody will as I probably am.

I think it was good how her belief in the same heaven and hell I believe in (and Jesus did, and talked plainly about - graphically at times) actually motivated her to talk to people about it. I often don't care enough to even urge my friends to look into Jesus. Ezekiel 33's a challenge there.

She was a bit weird (denim jacket, homeschooled, wrong about alcohol etc) I'll admit, though. But yeah, her motivation seemed to come not from a desire to win friends but to warn them, not have people hate her, but wanting people to listen and be saved! And it affected everything she was about...

Good point, well made. So want to be ALMOST like this girl! x

well, I felt the exaggeration justified in the context of the actual probability of me ever being a girl... :-)
