A “Be Ready” box is any box packed with a variety of GoodSeed books, DVDs and audiobooks. When an opportunity to share the gospel arises, you can dip into the box and pull out an appropriate translation or book and give it to the person you’re speaking with.
One of our staff members was teaching at a church in Arizona and he explained that as ambassadors for Christ, we ought to be ready to share the gospel whenever the opportunity arises. He explained how to pack a “Be Ready” box for the car and home.
One lady at the session was so excited that she wanted to buy the sample “Be Ready” box that was on display. Our staff member told her that the box was easily available in most department stores. But the lady was very insistent and pressed a cheque into our staff member’s hand.
“Will this cover it?” she asked. She had written a generous cheque that more than paid for the “Be Ready” box and all the books in it. Our colleague had to relinquish his box because she wanted to be ready now! With his “Be Ready” box in her car, whenever the Lord gives her the opportunity to share the gospel, she’s ready to dip into the box, pull out the appropriate tool and give it!
Think how it would be if all believers were like this lady and thought, “I need to be ready today to share the gospel.” Think how it would be if every believer had a “Be Ready” box in the car, office or home and could share the good news with a friend at a moment’s notice. Are you ready?
