A church conducted a lay evangelism institute in which emphasis was placed on the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Afterward for several weeks a group of laymen held a weekly luncheon at which they exchanged experiences.

A physician said that since the institute he had noticed how natural it was to talk with his patients about spiritual matters. He had customarily done so, but he had to inject it into the conversation. “Now,” he said, “it just comes about naturally. I do not know why the difference. I suppose it is because the Holy Spirit knows that I am available.”
