Weekly Wisdom with Stephen Davey

A Witness on George Street: Frank Jenner


Listen Later

Have you ever felt the tension between knowing you should share your faith and actually doing it? This powerful message explores why 82% of non-churchgoers would consider attending if personally invited, yet less than 30% of Christians ever talk about Jesus where they work or live.

The reluctance to evangelize stems from real challenges - fear of rejection, awkwardness, or simply not knowing what to say. But what if we're focusing too much on results and not enough on faithfulness? Through seven practical reminders, we discover why witnessing isn't about technique but about trust in God's supernatural work through our simple obedience.

The heart of this message centers on the extraordinary legacy of Frank Jenner, an unknown retired naval officer who spent nearly forty years asking one question to passersby on Sydney's George Street: "If you died tonight, would you go to heaven?" For decades, Jenner never saw a single convert. But years later, believers worldwide - from England to Australia, from India to America - began sharing how they'd come to faith after a white-haired man on George Street gave them a tract and asked them about eternity.

This remarkable story challenges us to reconsider our definition of successful evangelism. Your faithful witness, even when met with apparent rejection, may be bearing fruit you'll never see until eternity. The question isn't whether people respond, but whether we're willing to be ambassadors rather than bystanders. Witnessing isn't a disposition; it's a decision. Will you make your life a "George Street" and tell people how to find heaven?
