For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Talk to someone at Church about opportunity to witness on Halloween.
God has commanded believers to go out there to share the Good News. Once a year on Halloween strangers will come knocking on your door.
Years ago I wrote this post about taking advantage to share the Gospel on Halloween: Christians and Halloween.
For a few years now our church have done a Halloween outreach. Last year we didn’t have it with Covid restrictions but this year we will be doing it. I don’t know if your church does the same thing. We give out candies, have game and photo booths and also Gospel sharing booth.
If your church has such a thing consider helping with it! This Sunday talk to others about it!
We should be fishers of men. But when nonbelievers come knocking on our doors, that like fishing in an Aquarium. Share the Gospel on Halloween!

What an excellent way of using Satan’s own tools against him and snatching some brands from the fire ahead of them ! (Jude 23).
Jude 23 is a good passage. Thanks for your comment, yes let us turn it around against Satan with the Gospel! Is Halloween something kids go around getting Candy in Scotland?
It is not as big a thing nowadays as it was. But it is a cause of much contention for traditionalists in the UK who disdain the growing Americanism of their precious Halloween. Personally I dislike Halloween (Helloween?) wherever it comes from.

Excellent suggestion brother. Blessings.
One way of using Holloween is to hand out gospel tracts as well as candy to trick or treaters. I used to do this but now I am living in an apartment building to which trick or treaters have no access.
Thanks for sharing Clyde. This makes me urgent all the more to do this given others don’t have the opportunity to do this evangelism idea. I’m praying this year we see people get saved and come to our church from this evangelistic opportunity

Be ready in season and out of season
Reblogged this on a simple man of God.
It is good to be ready to share the Gospel on Halloween when children come trick-or-treating.
Amen Frank! We just got done with being at church preparing for our Halloween outreach. Praying we get to share the Gospel next week, I’m so looking forward to this outreach as it will be our first church wide outreach since the pandemic. Evangelizing alone or with a few guys is great but man with the whole church mobilizing that is awesome!
Good idea!
Such a great idea for churches to do outreach, something akin to VBS.

I was thinking about the same thing about how it has a VBS feel today when we prepped for next Sunday all afternoon! For some reason with the decorations (fall festival not horror stuff) I thought about VBS! Did your church this summer had VBS??
Our church has not had VBS for two summers in a row. I know the neighborhood children miss it as much as the church’s own. We lived in an area once where there were many immigrant families that lived near the church. They would send their children to VBS and for many, their first encounter with the gospel. It’s a great outreach as parents begin attending church because of their children’s interest.
Thanks for this exhortation, brother! I need to order some Gospel tracts.
Awesome🔥. I know you guys don’t have much kids if I recall. I like using Way of the Master tracks for Ray Comfort; do you like any particular tracts?
I’ve bought my tracts from Crossway/Good News:

What do you tell those who knock on the door that will be quick enough for them to not lose interest but fresh enough for them to not roll their eyes at the ‘familiarity’ of The Lord’s Divine Words? I’m asking because I want to do this, too!
Every year for Halloween the kids coming by our church booths really get drawn in with this; I just tell the Gospel in 2 minutes or less with this! https://www.christianbook.com/evangecube/9781933383019/pd/777776?event=ESRCN
Can you email me this link, please, if not too much trouble? I would be much obliged. 💫
Churches in our part of Michigan did “Trunk or Treat.” We would “dress up” our cars and park them in the church parking lot, where kids would come to walk from car to car collecting goodies. My trunk, of course, was done up like the Empty Tomb, with the stone rolled to one side, and I gave out tracts and treats dressed as an angel. 😉
Wow even your car decoration is Gospel pointing with the resurrection! Man sister you are such an evangelist!!! Thanks for your comment, I hope others will get ideas from others’ comment including your creative idea! Michigan normally don’t snow around Halloween does it, I imagine even without snow its cold like crazy?
Sometimes. The day we had Trunk or Treat with the Resurrection car it was actually quite nice. 🌞
Years ago, involved in several churches we would put on things with a “religious” overtone to make up for not allowing our kids to go out trick or treating. We believed we ought to give them something to replace what we took away. However, as they got older and they learned more and more about what God has done for us, we abandoned any semblance of honoring that day or days. Today we have a great grandson and while he’s only a year old, we help his parents, our grandkids to keep it clean, save and to remind them of the truth.
Don’t mean to be a party-pooper, but I just won’t honor it personally today, though I see the benefit some churches provide as an alternative.
Good comment. Usually I’m critical with Christians just giving a Christianized version of things in society; I think of Christianized cheesy Christian movies and contemporary music that focus on imitating the word and it’s nauseating; it also sends the wrong message to kids. For our church I emphasized our Halloween outreach is not for our kids first but to reach the neighbors with the Gospel; so I tell parents we don’t want kids to dress up; but we do still want to give out tracks and candies and share the Gospel with a brief story time (under 3 minutes) and our kids will volunteer and help with that. I feel telling the kids this is not about them but others go a further long way with spiritual lessons for them than if we had a youth group harvest festival for instance; let me know what you think!
I think you’re right on Brother Jim! From way back when (I can tell you when and how) the “Church” institutionalized special religious holidays and it has been up to God’s TRUE disciples to take them back from the brink of paganism. Now mind you, I wasn’t always this way, but with years of study and especially from my “church” origins from birth until just about 17 years old I thought nothing of it and even for some years after. But when I started studying and trying my best to surrender totally to the Lord, I realized some things especially with my family had to be taught different. My little great grandson will be dressed up like a dinosaur and he’ll get some candy from grandma and grandpa, but his parents, our grandkids have already heard the lessons and soon CJ (he’s just a little over a year) will be getting them too. I won’t condemn those who partake, but if they’re family, I definitely share with them and such. Church friends already know my feelings about dressing up to represent anything that is evil. I may seem a scrooge, but our light stays off on October 31st. — I love the harvest festival approach and we used to do that a lot when we were more involved with various churches. Especially the Calvary Chapel in Arizona I was Assistant at. It was a fun time without the drama!! 😉👍💗✝📖
Your suggestion is an excellent way to share the Gospel. Our church has done some Halloween outreach in the past.
