Comment on Do Amish evangelize? by Valerie.
In my history book about the early Anabaptists, in particular Mennonites-they were referred to as the “Evangelical Anabaptists”-they were radical & passed out tracts in their beginnings, the early reformation days. I have met Amish that pass out tracts & I appreciate that they step out of their comfort zone to do so. After all, Romans 10:14,15 says “How then shall they call on Him in who they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Both ways are essential, of being salt & light-I’m thankful to hear they’re returning to recognizing this.
