Now, that's where it gets interesting.
We have had full blown debates (I make sure everyone plays nice) if anyone gets upset, I calm things down decently and in order. We have all kinds of situations come from the "hey, whatchooreadin?" Atheists, Buddhists (most of my biggest attacks were from Buddhists, and Christians) Muslims, Mormons, Catholics, and every religion (and cult) you can imagine. Yet, regular people, people who have never set a foot in a church, or people who were in church at a very young age but for whatever reason never stayed. A lot have been baptized, since we are in a international city I get a lot of people visiting, and from all over the world. They sit down and want to talk, especially if they have been eavesdropping on my discussions. We have had some very powerful prayer at the tables, seen people healed, marriages restored, broken lives turned back to Christ right in front of a busy store. Tears and snot bubbles and the sound of speaking in tongues when a person receives the infilling of the Holy Ghost! That makes a passer by really break their neck to see what is going on.

Re: Question for real evangelists
Do you have a set time for all this? Like "I arrive at noon and stay until 2 or 3"? Or do just wing it each time?
Also do you have any helpers, or is this just you?

I have a lot on my plate, and I manage to get it done. We have brothers, and I'm with a Spanish minister who is a faithful man, solid and steadfast. We all manage to chop the wood, and we are available 24 hrs a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. I use to be there at 8 am and leave by 3 pm, but we became super busy. Sometimes I can't even log on to a forum, or check e-mails, e-mails have top priority over forum chit chat. We have house churches in Turkey, Greece, Colombia, and Panama we skype with them and take care of their needs. My house is Grand Central Station and we are always having people in and out, which takes time to help everyone.

Re: Question for real evangelists
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on this thread. And thank you for the work you are doing in bringing the gospel to those who might otherwise never have an opportunity to hear it.

Re: Question for real evangelists
Was wondering what happened to you Bro. E. Bacon! In fact, I wondered if all that "bacon" got the best of you 
Glad to hear how the Lord is ministering, and working with you in Fort Lauderdale!

Re: Question for real evangelists
I want to thank everyone for their kind words and please keep praying for us in Jesus name.
Bacon hadn't gotten the best of me, but it is so busy that posting on a forum is a low priority at times. I tell the church family that first we need to draw a circle around us, and then what is around that circle must be our first priority. Family, Brothers, Sisters, and the people in our field of labor. Just making sure our own porch is taken care of before doing other things.
Love you all in Jesus name
