On the Streets of New York City
During an October 2009 mission trip to NYC, Micah Gaston and Cameron Proctor conducted interviews with New Yorkers on the streets of Manhattan. Although a few people refused to speak with them, the majority were willing to offer their opinions on things like religion, belief in God, and getting to heaven. No one expected the response of Rafael, a native of Puerto Rico, who was eager to tell what he had learned. Cameron and Micah graciously listened to his belief system and offered him an alternative viewpoint, the truth of Scripture.
