Servant Evangelism Eases Pain at the Pump

An Oklahoma church is taking a unique approach to servant evangelism. The members of Friendship Baptist Church decided to pay 20 cents of every gallon for everyone that came to a local pump in a one hour period.“We just thought for an hour we would do this and try to impact the community and see how God blessed it,” said Linzy Slayden of Friendship Baptist Church. Church members directed long lines traffic and helped people get their gas. That wasn’t the end of the ministry. The church members also handed out water, washed windows, and prayed with people at the pump.“We just felt like this is a way to give back to the community because the gas prices are high and this is a way our church can minister,” said Cheryl Hasting of the Friendship Baptist Church.“I think it’s a wonderful outreach to the community and a good outreach for the church,” said driver Julie Crow.
