Puzzle depicts story of salvation
Tool helps Christians relax when they evangelize

DALLAS, Texas (RJ) — A small plastic cube is being used to tell the gospel story.

The EvangeCube looks similar to a Rubik’s Cube. But it’s much easier to use.
......snip...


The cube is designed to be used worldwide, and its illustrations are universally understandable, officials with the Dallas-based ministry say.

snip.....

Thirty-thousand EvangeCubes are on their way this month to Colombia, where they will be used in a church-starting movement in 30 cities. Last year, half of the people in 90 new Colombian churches became Christians through someone’s use of an EvangeCube, ministry leaders said. This year, EvangeCube officials have trained Christians in Central Africa and the Middle East to use the cubes. The EvangeCube will also be used in Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador and Mexico, and among fans and athletes at next summer’s Olympics in Athens, Greece. A flexible tool .A Christian on a medical mission trip used it to lead 40 Buddhists to become followers of Christ, said Nathan Sheets, who helped develop the EvangeCube concept. Sheets has a video in which an Indian man is led to faith in Christ using the device. The new believer immediately turns to a friend and uses the cube to explain the gospel to him. That man also becomes a Christian.

In the United States, restaurant customers have led waitresses to faith in Christ using the EvangeCube. Business people sometimes put the cube on their desk to raise curiosity about its message.

...snip....

Using the EvangeCube while sharing the gospel helps dispel nervousness and allows Christians to be bolder, Sheets said.

“You’re not eye to eye and thinking, ‘How am I going to screw this up?” he said. “You just look down at the pictures and tell the story.”

1. 40 Buddhists converted?
Considering that Christ was Himself a Buddhist, He must be spinning in His grave over this. ;)

4. And most buddhists are christians...
Buddhist scholars, that is, and using christian not in the every day sense, but in the sense that they believe jesus had meaningful spiritual experiences and there are things to be learned from him. With these vague definitions, though, anyone but an ideologue susbscribes to just about any religion they've ever heard of. :shrug:

6. I wonder...
is it blasphemous to cheat by peeling off the stickers and rearranging them to complete the cube?

Will you go to hell?
