Evangelist Craig Chambers

Being crushed by God is not fun but it does humble you.  I was doing my evangelist thing, you know going to the streets going to small town festivals colleges I enjoyed then I started to fall away and started to get sick and the next thing I knew I was in UVM a level one trauma hospital I didn't really realize I was there at first I had a strain of pneumonia I was very sick I almost died twice lots of hallucinations when I came out of it I couldn't walk.  lots of therapy for that. I won't get into all the details about my walking problems today but I was in that hospital for 111 days and acted giddy and glad to be alive but upset with God I sinned I flirted with some nurses I'm sad to say. I couldn't understand why God took me out of a ministry of evangelism like that I was upset Why think then I thought God can do whatever He wants He's God!   I went through rehab and ended up in a hospital bed in my apartment for 4.5 years until the present I will soon, finall...

 I thought I'd share how God works in my ministry.  This goes back a number of years, I had a table set up at the "Spring Fling" in Fair Haven, Vermont.  I had different tracts for all ages and many Gospel of Johns to give away. what I would do as people pass by is say "May I give you something to think about" Most time they would say yes or ask me what it was about and I was honest I told them it's about how to have eternal life in Christ Jesus.  I would either have a conversation with them or if they needed to go I'd give them a gospel of John with tract and my contact info tucked into them. This method worked everywhere on the streets at colleges everywhere I went.  On that day I met another believer who asked a good question of me How was I going to reach the troop of scouts set up behind me My usual tactic won't work on an 8-year-old boy.  I thought for a while and said I don't know.  Just then the wind picked up and blew all my tracts on th...

 I'm a Grandpa, and I have five young grandchildren.  I mention this because I'd like to talk about the great importance of exposing children to Jesus and the bible. First, get them involved in a good church's Sunday School. Be involved with what they're learning.  Then there is Vacation Bible School where you can bring your kids to fun and games and understand the bible better.  AWANA clubs are like scouting only for Christians.  The clubs a divided up by age and they earn badges for memorising scripture. there are music games bible time small group settings and large groups Every year they have a pinewood derby.   All this is to expose kids to Jesus in hopes they will believe the gospel.   knowing Jesus Christ early in life will set that life, if they choose to continue to follow after believing, on a great path in life for them no matter what they go threw they know God is on their side and they can always pray to him no matter what. ...

It was 1986, The year I got saved.  I immediately started sharing the faith with everyone I knew and met. In turn, they persecuted me.  At work, they threw nuts and bolts while I worked on large machinery. One tried to light me on fire.  I had a dream soon after becoming a believer.  A vision of hell and one disfigured lone person crawling from a pit suffering. With a vision like that, and the kind of zeal I had for the lost you would think I would be an evangelist.  However, in my mind, I didn't want to be an evangelist I wanted to be a pastor I pursued but all the time my zeal for the lost would not leave me.  Then the Lord started humbling me and some twenty years ago I realized I wasn't a pastor a Pastor friend mentioned that I was an evangelist but had doubts. I volunteered in different things but I needed to come to grips that I was an Evangelist over the years I started going to local festivals and colleges and on the streets sharing the faith a...
