My Greatest Evangelistic Fishing Spot (Go and Tell Evangelism)

🎣 My Greatest Evangelistic Fishing Spot! 

A while back, I found myself a year into full-time youth ministry—and deeply convicted. Why? I realized I was spending almost all my time around Christians. That wasn’t always the case. Before ministry, I worked at OKC Freightliner, surrounded by diesel mechanics and real spiritual lostness. But now, my “as you go” evangelism activity wasn’t cutting it. I needed a fresh fishing hole. 🐟

So I prayed a simple but dangerous prayer: “Lord, give me an evangelism fishing spot.”

And He did.

For the past 15 years, that spot has been Juvenile Detention Centers and Jails. Usually twice a week, I walk in, open the Word, and share hope with people at the bottom. Today, I led a 16-year-old to Christ. 🙌🏼 And he’s one of hundreds—maybe even thousands—who’ve responded over the years.

Here’s the truth: When people are at rock bottom, they’re often most open to the Gospel.

I call this kind of outreach “Go and Tell.” It’s different from “As You Go” or “Come and See” (we cover those in different blogs). This is intentional, targeted evangelism. It’s putting yourself in a place where lost people are—and sharing the Good News with boldness.

It might be across the globe 🌍… or across your town. It could be a prison, school club, homeless ministry, or sports camp. But “Go and Tell” moments don’t happen by accident. They happen when you step into the places where darkness still reigns—and shine the light. 💡

So here’s the challenge: 👉 Do you have a “Go and Tell” place in your life? 👉 If not, ask God to give you one. He will.

You don’t have to wait for a mission trip to live on mission.

Just say yes. Show up. Share Jesus.
