Show Notes

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar set out on a journey to retrace Ray’s footsteps in evangelism, starting in Tahiti. Although Tahiti is often seen as an exotic getaway, the guys were reminded that it’s a land in spiritual need. On their first day, they came across a group still recovering from the night before, and E.Z. boldly shared the gospel. Although one man initiated the conversation with a flamboyant demeanor, a noticeable change came over him as he listened. The guys highlighted the biblical principle of giving the law to the proud and grace to the humble. They emphasized that salvation belongs to the Lord; their role is to remain faithful.

From Tahiti, the journey continued to Fiji. Mark recalled beginning to evangelize, only to be told by security guards that they couldn’t evangelize there. The guys crossed the street and quickly found someone open to the message—Oscar shared the gospel with a man named Peeta, who immediately began weeping and asked how to follow Jesus. Oscar encouraged him to start by sharing with his family nearby. Peeta, who lived near a local chief’s home, brought the guys there, leading to a touching moment when the chief’s wife teared up hearing the gospel. E.Z. was deeply moved by the humility and openness they encountered.

Next, the team traveled to Australia, where they balanced fun, like visiting a zoo, with the challenges of open-air preaching. Mark used a heckler as an illustration, while Oscar faced initial rejection from two women who eventually agreed to talk after he appealed to their values. They found ways to engage in meaningful gospel conversations by leveraging cultural touchpoints. In New Zealand, the guys visited the place where Ray was saved and began evangelizing. For Mark, walking through Ray’s past was especially moving. They preached, connected with locals, and visited Ray’s childhood home. The trip concluded in Hawaii, where even more opportunities to share the gospel arose.

During a final Q&A, the team addressed topics such as how The Way of the Master began, the importance of making the most of downtime, and practical evangelism tips. Ray encouraged solo open-air preaching when done safely, and the group emphasized the importance of using time wisely. They affirmed that women can and should share the gospel, citing biblical examples like the woman at the well and Mary Magdalene. For those sharing with atheist family members, they advised appealing to conscience and loving boldly, noting that prayer is essential in evangelism. They concluded by discussing feelings of unworthiness, reminding listeners that grace covers all and that it’s not about us—it’s about Christ.
