Rebecca Pippert (Molenhouse), Evangelist
I first became aware of Becky in the early 80’s while working as a campus chaplain at Andrews University. She had written the now classic book on evangelism: Out of the Saltshaker. The first time I heard Becky speak, was via a film reel. I was inspired by Becky’s love for Jesus, her intentionality in sharing the gospel, and her competence.
Years later while I was a pastor in Maryland, I got to be in a Bible study group on the Book of Acts that was led by Becky. She has since spoken for my women’s retreats and at my churches. We have used her material in our small groups. You’ll often hear me say two things I learned from Becky:
God calls us to EXPOSE people to what we believe, not to IMPOSE it on them.
(It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to bring conviction and conversion.)
As Christians, in our conversations to grow the Kingdom, we are engaging in the life-giving activities of:
CULTIVATING the soil,
PLANTING the seed, or
REAPING the harvest.
CPR for eternal life.
