“New England is one huge witness field——”
What on earth does that mean?
.
New England, originally the most churched portion of America, has become the most unchurched portion of America. Most folks in New England don’t attend a church with any regularity. Nor do they practice the Christian faith in their personal lives. Nor have they accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Not all folks, just most folks. Thus, New England is a witness field for those who seek to help others find and accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior, to help others accept the grace and mercy offered by Jesus and God.
Anecdotally, as a Gideon, I offer a New Testament to many people every day, and witness to them as the opportunity presents itself. I receive more “no’s” in New England than I do in the South, Midwest or West. Most who say no are polite, but not all.
