Unique Approach Prompts Questions
A roll of paper was the genesis of the “Questions for God” missionary activity in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, on October 9, 2011.
Over the course of several hours, more than 150 people stopped by two tables on a busy street, picked up felt pens, and wrote their questions. In all, 84 questions were written on the roll of paper. Many people voiced a desire for an answer from the missionaries present.
