Guest Speaker: John Wega (uscegettysburg.org)
Interview by Gerry Stoltzfoos
From infant on up I have been raised in church. And if there's one thing I can point out that I feel churches struggle with the most is: reaching people where they are. I'm caught guilty of this too. It's so easy to talk to unsaved when they already made the first step, overcame some fear, and walked in the doors of the church. But what if we as believers decided to conquer our fear, get out of our comfort zones and leave the church property in order to meet their needs. John is an excellent example of how this can be done. As the tourists come to Gettysburg, he reaches them through history and stories and then funnels it all down to the heroism of Christ. In a place surrounded by so much gore and death, he is providing it with hope and life. Yes, the war brought physical freedom, but what John is doing now is fighting for spiritual freedom!
