When I do street evangelism, I get a pretty low response rate.
People outright laugh at my husband when he warns them about the mark of the beast. It's sad.
But we keep on because you never know what seed will pop up, years later.

Poor deary, your bankrupt message is not getting much traction.
"But we keep on because you never know what seed will pop up, years later."
'Street Evangelise' in the middle of the Atacama Desert then, if you think your 'Faith' is that strong.
'Seeds'? As that place is the most biologically sterile place on the planet: where it hasn't rained for centuries , and the smallest lifeform to have existed there was Richard Hammond during the "Top Gear" Bolivia Special, then good luck in finding so much as a microbe , never mind even a metaphor there.
I'll even drive you there, if you want to prove me wrong. When I drop you off at the centre of Atacama, I'll chuck you a can of motor oil; but like your J-boy in the desert, you won't need any of that worldy 'Water' - despite what the Christian survival expert Bear Grylls always maintains: that the human body can go for up to three weeks without food, but can only last without water for up to three days - will you...?
But then, I bet you make it 20 miles before you consider drinking that.

Here's a little tip, Mrs. Acts: Nobody, ever, has been convinced to convert to a religion by a street preacher. People tend to see religious nutjobs standing on street corners spouting bible verses as loons. Think about it, it takes a special form of fanaticism to believe that you need to go out in public and scream religious dogma at passers-by, and that level of fanaticism tends to turn everyone off except for other fanatics.
While I'm all for free speech, I do object to those who yell and accost others in public spaces. Even buskers are regulated in most places. Communities should consider establishing a "bughouse square," where the loudly opinionated can hold forth without intruding on shoppers, tourists, and dog walkers. And no voice amplifiers, ever.
But we keep on because you never know what seed will pop up, years later.
"Remember that loco fundie who screamed at us about the mark of the beast back in '16? Buddhists never do that kind of shit. Let's become Buddhists."
Thought I'd check what Acts5:41 is
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Nah, no disgrace in just getting laughed at.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
