Sunny Interviews Trish Ramos of Way of the Master
This is what all our lives should only be about – giving honor and glory to God for who He is and the great things He has done. And this is exactly why we, here at CWO do what we do; “uniting women of faith” so that we may fellowship, exhort and edify one another in Christ, all the more as we see the Day approaching. One of the ways we desire to fulfill this great calling from God is to bring you stories that will inspire you to drink deeper into the well-spring of life - the Lord Jesus Christ. In an effort to stay abreast of all the media resources God has provided His children to further the Gospel, CWO will continue to stretch our faith, get out of our comfort zones and be willing to go and do as the Lord leads.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. –1 Chronicles 16:29
With this in mind, I’m so ecstatically excited to introduce to you, our March cover story, Trish Ramos from Living Waters Publications/The Way of the Master ministries…caught on tape! Yes, you read that right. This interview is CWO’s very first video-interview! And WOW! Does this sister love our Lord Jesus as she only lives for the very reason why He came: seeking to save the lost, and restoring them to a right relationship with God the Father.
Trish not only works for Living Waters Publications/Way of the Master ministries, has a regular segment on Wretched Radio with Todd Friel every Thursday, but is also blessed by God with her own ministry called, Fish with Trish. Recently, she has been asked to be a guest on Faith 2 Action with Janet Porter, Life! Line with Craig Roberts (San Francisco), KFAX LIVE! With Andy Froiland (Texas) and Ambassadors’ Alliance Radio with Tony Miano. God is truly using our wonderful sister Trish to speak into the hearts of His daughters to compassionately and boldly take His Gospel to the utter ends of earth (your neighborhoods, children’s schools, grocery stores, fast food drive-thru’s, etc.).
Our interview was taped at The University of North Texas campus. There are two parts to the interview. Part 1 - our sister Trish shares her heart, her ministry to women and her deep passion for the lost, plus some incredibly easy evangelism tips and so much more! Part 2 - you will get to see Trish in action as we catch her on tape, witnessing to two college girls! And to top it all off, Trish is offering a very generous and eternally focused, purse give-away!
Trish Ramos - Way of the Master (Part 1)
Trish Ramos - Way of the Master (Part 2)
Here are a couple of two really important points Trish made that didn’t quite make it on tape:
- Women have an advantage over men when it comes to passing out Gospel tracts or witnessing one-2-one. Women have a wider audience (men, women, teens, children) and are less intimidating than men.
- If you’re really scared, then at least purchase and pass out Gospel tracts. Gospel tracts do not succumb to fear, they are impartial, they don’t argue with people, they never grow weary and unlike you, they can go home with a person.
You can pass them out, or you can leave them places, i.e., bathrooms, lobby’s at hospitals, include one every time you mail a bill, etc.

Wow, for starters congrats on the very virst video interview. That’s great!
Secondly, Trish was a blessing to listen to for she spoke of such wisdom. She spoke truth in so many ways and I love how she compared giving birth as painful; fearful, yet in the end there’s such joy. God pulls us through the pains labor or otherwise…I loved that.
I also enjoyed her sharing the raw feelings she goes through of being terrified each time she approaches someone or talks to them about Christ….it’s good to hear others share their human sides like this because it makes us feel united.
But to me the most valuable was actually watching and HEARING Trish converse while handing out tracts.
This for me, was a learning technique on how to approach and connect with other once ‘we have them’. That was more beneficial over everything else, though everything else in the videos spoke volumes as well. The reason I say for me watching and witnessing her role in handing out tracts was of utmost value is because once when I went with a group to do this nobody trained me or did a role play of this, I was cluelesss, but now thanks to listening to her, I can have some type of guideline to follow. Is there a print out or something to find these approach methods and questions? Seriously, nobody ever showed me before listening to how she does it today. Oh, and I don’t care about the purse and bad stuff I just enjoyed and was blessed watchign the second taping. That was an awesome interview!!!! Oh, and Trish if it helps any, you don’t show that you are nervous handing out tracts, nervous or scared…..nobody but you would even know that. So hopefully that helps you to feel better. Keep up the good work girl! Blessings,
In Him,
~ Sarah Cecilia

OOPS! Sorry I reread my comment and saw several typing errors. Mainly when I wrote: ‘.about the purse and bad stuff…’, what I meant to type was ‘…about the purse and all that stuff…’ The other spelling errors are pretty easy to understand what I mean but I felt it important to clarify I didn’t mean to type ‘….bad stuff…’ I’ve been up all night; it is now 4:54AM with a cranky 3 yr. old nuzzled in my lap now. So sorry for the errors. My bad!
March 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
This is a great bag and what a great way to start witnessing to people. This is a brand new area for me, as I am still in my first year of living my life for God. I was baptized years ago, but I never truly understood what that really meant until January 2009. Thank you for this website, I look forward to reading more.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Tracts are SO powerful! Some people that would be very antagonistic towards a personal introduction to Christianity are welcome to reading a piece of literature- and Jesus tells us in the Gospel that His Word will not return to Him void.
I attend a public university, and a bag full of tracts like that would definitely be cool to be able to distribute… not to mention that the bag is cute.
March 1st, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Goodness! I became uncomfortable for the girls just watching it! This takes alot of guts for the witness, but even more for those who are the recipients of such bold questions.
It is good, I have heard Ray Comfort before, but not everyone is geared or gifted that way. & not everyone will respond “without walls” like these girls did. (actually when I heard Ray there was much resistance!) I believe God can use anything we give Him though~so however He leads, may we all be found faithful!
I love the tract ideas. I never really thought much about them, but I have heard a couple of stories lately that make me realize I need to invest in a pursefull!
Thanks for a great story!
March 1st, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Thank you for the great article. It’s inspired me to do more with tracts in the way of leaving them in places as mentioned more often. To think if I had had tracts on me the many times I sat at the hospital, walked the hallways, sat in waiting rooms, etc.. over the past 2 years with my husbands illness - how many missed opportunities went by in doing something so simple as leaving a tract for someone to read and lead them towards Christ or speak to them at a moment they so much needed. The purse / tracts is such a wonderful idea.
March 1st, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I love the bag. I have always had a hard time approaching people and talking about Jesus. This bag with the tracts would make it a whole lot easier. I could talk to others and leave them out for people to pick up when they get a chance. Thanks for the contest.
March 1st, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Great giveaway! I love the Living Waters ministry - lots of great things coming out of that. God bless everyone!
March 1st, 2009 at 8:04 pm
I really enjoyed this interview. I had never heard of tracts until a lady took me to lunch and left one on the table. She also left a generous tip. I at that time talked with her about them. It seemed like an awesome way to introduce people to Christ or remind them that they are Loved. She also made sure to stress that you never leave a tract as a tip, it is in addition to the tip. I love her heart!
March 1st, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Trish,
You know I am a fan! I’d love that purse! I’ve been giving away tracts a lot here lately and that purse would come in handy!
Thanks and I know God will continue to bless you in all you do for Him!
March 1st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Just watched the videos love them. Way to go CWO!
March 1st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Darlene, Sunny, and everyone at CWO,
I can’t express how grateful I am to be a part of all this. God is doing wonderful things here at CWO. It blesses me to no end to know that others will be encouraged to press past their fears and share their faith. God bless you all for doing this!
March 1st, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Loved this interview with Trish. Very insightful and I got some good ideas. I’m feeling a calling into the ministry, in some way or another, but sharing my faith has never come easily for me. Nice to know that Trish still has that fear, too!
March 1st, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Loved the article and videos. Meeting Trish at the Ambassador’s Academy last October was truly a blessing for me. Her FishwithTrish blog is excellent and I love getting her updates! She inspires me regularly and offers great tips and advice for witnessing.
Would love to win that bag! :O)
March 1st, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Sarah asked, “Is there a print out or something to find these approach methods and questions?”
Hi Sarah, Not to worry about the typos…I know what you meant.
As for a hand out…here are a few links that might be of help to you:
Click on the link below (and scroll down to “Questions to Ask the Unbeliever” AND “Questions for the Professing Christian”) These are typical questions that I will ask when I’m on the streets:
http://www.fishwithtrish.com/behind_scenes.php
Also, on this same link scroll down and look for W.D.J.D and C.R.A.F.T. These are acronyms that will help keep you on tract when presenting the gospel.
And you might also be interested in my quick “2 Minute Tip” evangelism videos—my favorite is witnessing at the drive thru. You’ll be able to do this one too:
http://fishwithtrish.com/women.php
And I have entire youtube channel filled with one-2-ones:

God bless you, sis!
Trish
March 1st, 2009 at 10:32 pm
This was such an encouragement - a great interview and I loved the practical demo ‘on the street’. Thanks Trish! I pray that many would be encouraged bring God glory through sharing their faith with the lost.
March 2nd, 2009 at 5:34 am
Thanks for the video interview. I was touched by Trish’s comments, and am inspired to get some tracts to distribute. What a great idea, leaving them in hospitals, rest rooms or with your restaurant bill. You never know what good you may be able to do.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:48 am
The video interview that I watched was very well done and I really enjoyed it and was very peased to see that Trish was able to witness to the Two young girls from the college .It was very good for me also because I wrote the scriptures down that were mentioned on the video and than I went to read them after Great Job Trish and all the best to you o n your witnessing to young people around the world. Great views on leaving scriptures in lobbies bathrooms and other available places God has Blessed you in an amazing way.
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Nice job Trish. Its refreshing to understand that there are other women who are not always comfortable with every type of ministry, you are doing a great job and very inspirational! I am glad I have found my own “voice” in missions ministries! Its amazing to speak to a foreigner who has never heard of Christ! Keep up the great work!
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:30 am
How refreshing to be able to watch the videos!
I also really enjoyed watching Trish in action. Definitely gives me confidence to witness more!
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:53 am
what a pleasure to watch I love how you probed that one girl who didn’t want to admit that she would go to hell based on the ten commandements. I loved how you finaly got it out of her.
that was wonderful..
March 2nd, 2009 at 9:14 am
BEAUTIFUL!!! I greatly enjoyed watching this.
March 2nd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Thank you Trish so much for what you are doing for Jesus! I went to the Transformed conference in Beaumont, Ca in January and my life has really been Transformed! I’ve been sharing my faith and passing out tracts ever since and have experienced a joy that I’ve never known! I love your website- so inspiring and packed with practical tips and ideas of how to share our faith! God is so good! Lisa Strand
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 am
Cool videos!
I listen to Wretched Radio daily and I think Todd should have Trish on everyday, not just Thursdays! Thanks to God and you, Trish, for fishwithtrish.com and helping us find the guts to get out there and share!
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:41 am
I love the new video interviews! They are so awesome and you get a better sense of the person that way.
There was the black bag on sale via the TV. It claims to hold so much stuff and expand and even hold water bottles. Well, I thought it would be great! It wasn’t. It tore apart easily and it doesn’t hold half the stuff they said it would.
The bag pictured above looks to be of such great quality. I am sure it would be an awesome purse for passing out tracts. It is beautiful too!
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:54 am
I actually have the pleasure of meeting Trish through my sister. I am so thankful that you are so honest and to the point Trish! You are an insperation to many and loved by all you surround yourself with.
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:54 am
Thanks for sharing the videos and reminding me to get out there and share!
Blessings - Lisa
March 2nd, 2009 at 11:33 am
Trish is an continuing challenge to me to continue and increase my witnessing. She is such a precious sister in the Lord. Thank you for interviewing her.
The bag looks great!!
March 2nd, 2009 at 11:37 am
If you have never read “Way of the Master” by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort it is life changing.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Wow, great post, thanks! I loved being able to watch the interview instead of just reading it. I also love the way Trish witnesses, she is so caring and loving! I listen to hear on Wretched Radio every week, so I loved being able to actually see her now!
Please enter me in the drawing, too!
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:26 pm
May he continue to give you courage and guidance to share our faith. It’s an inspiration to see Godly Women proclaim Jesus. God bless you in your ministry. All the glory to God!!!
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Trish is a great example of what a good and faithful servant looks like. This article not only includes great practical information but allows us to us see it put into action! Thanks Trish!!
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Wow! Thanks again Trish!! God is so amazing and I love how He uses us for His glory!
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:58 pm

A Huge Thank you to CWO for sharing this excellent interview!!
Trish, I praise God for the amazing encouragement you have been to myself and countless other believers! My husband and I have so enjoyed listening in on your segments on Way of the Master/Wretched Radio over the past few years, thankful to have had the opportunity to meet you at a KC Transformed and I’m daily encouraged by your posts at fishwithtrish.com! Praying for you sister and may God continue to be glorified through your humble service as you boldly proclaim His Truth!

Trish has been very encouraging to me to get out there are share the love of Jesus. I love her creative ideas on handing out Gospel Tracts. Thanks for being a vessel of the Lord and encouraging us women to be the same!
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Wow! What a great interview and instruction on the best way to share our faith. Thanks for serving the Lord faithfully Trish and teaching others along the way. And thank you to Sunny for doing the interview and editing everything into an AWESOME video! Great job!!!

March 2nd, 2009 at 7:12 pm
well, it’s hard to believe it sometimes but i am 51yrs old. i really am a nobody & i never liked talking to strangers. but, since i began to study the principles of the way of the master–Jesus Christ, He has truly given me new desires.
at one time i said i could never do that but here 4yrs later i have the love & boldness of the Holy Spirit that drives me to see the lost & dying.
please ladies consider studing the template that Jesus gave us in sharing the Gospel and talk to the people around u. your ministry doesn’t have to be in some far away country…it can happen right where u are at.
if i can use the motto of the Way of the Master Minute. “There goes another minute…Go share your faith while u still can”.
March 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 am
Just a blessing to see women out there doing a great job, what a wonderful encouragement I find it very nerve racking myself and end up shying away from it which I know I shouldn’t. Want so much to be bold, but reading some of these comments again more encouragement,imagine if each of the above shared the gospel just once a day how many people we could reach, by the grace of God lets do it
March 3rd, 2009 at 12:59 am
God has blessed my husband and I with an awesome church and with Pastors who’s hearts are based on the discipleship principle of seeking and saving the lost…Win, Consolidate, Disciple, and Send.
It is a honor to call Miss. Trish my sister in Christ as she clearly exemplifies compassion and a tender heart for the lost. To be transparent, I still battle with those things.
What an encouraging interview! May God protect you and continue to use your hands and your feet. Peace!
March 3rd, 2009 at 3:10 am
It is so great to see how God is using women in this time.I have checked out some of Trish’s 2 minute tips and they are so easy and effective.All I can say is keep up the good work for the Kingdom,and God Bless
March 3rd, 2009 at 9:16 am

Wow! I’m motivated to start handing out tracts and witnessing. Thanks, Trish!
I also was reminded that I need to be prayed up and filled up with the Word. I want to lose the self-consciousness and be emboldened. The Gospel is the most important thing we can ever tell anyone!
Blessings!
March 4th, 2009 at 5:41 am
Hi Trish! Way to keep it rockin’! God bless you!

March 4th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Hi, my husband and dad are headed to Rome, Israel, and Jordan tomorrow. We go on door on ‘door knocking’ or invitation walks in the neighborhood. Dad says it would be cool for me to have a purse like that but I need to keep it filled up. One of his favorite bible tracts are $50 dollar bills, off-sized, folded in half and leave them laying around by cash registers, ATMs, and pinball machines. שלום
March 4th, 2009 at 10:51 am
I love Trish! She is just an inspiration and encouragement to me! My sisters and I all read her blog and listen to her on Way of the Master Radio (archives).
March 4th, 2009 at 11:09 am
This was a very encouraging interview! I’m in the midst of a Lent study, looking at ways that I can personally share Christ with others. I had NEVER thought about tracts… What a great idea. Now, I just have to figure out how to get some. Maybe I’ll win the bag!
March 4th, 2009 at 11:37 am
This interview was great and so timely as the Lord daily reminds me of the urgency to share our faith.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
This for a chance on the tract bag.It may not look right over my shoulder, but when my wife and I are in store she usually has me hold her purse for her anyway.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Bonjour Trish!
It was a pleasure to meet you and Liz on Sunday. I will continue to pray for your sister-in-law.
March 4th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I am entering here for the tract handbag. This would be great! Thanks!
March 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I love Trish’s ministry and her heart on reaching the lost. She is a wonderful example to all of us. Thanks for all you do Trish.
March 4th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
I am entering to win tracts to spread the Gospel. This handbag is much nicer than the bag I am using now LOL.
March 4th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Thanks for puting the bag and tracts up as a give away. I would love to get all of that stuff. I was thinking today that I need a different purse to accomodate tracts better.
Casie
March 4th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Thanks Trish!
I love listening to you om Wretched Radio!!!
March 4th, 2009 at 8:45 pm

March 4th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Thanks Trish for all you do! I know this contest thing is a random drawing but want to win it for my wife!
March 4th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I always love seeing the heart Trish has for the lost. Seeing evangelism done by other women really helps so much and encourages me to keep sharing and never give up!
March 5th, 2009 at 12:59 am
Ladies, love your comments. So glad to hear that many of you are challenged and convicted to do something. This brings great joy to my heart. I’m deeply grateful to our Lord that many of you have been inspired to get some tracts to distribute.
And Craig, that is too cool that you entered..even if you are the only guy here. Oh actually, I think I found one more on the list (Joe. Too cool.
I heading for Brookfield, CT this weekend for a speaking engagement. I will be speaking 4+ times in 2 days…for ladies, youth and children. Appreciate all your prayers for this.
God bless you all!

Great idea! I have piles of tracts here and there, and wouldn’t you know it, I was at the McDonald’s drive up the other day, and did not have one! I had the “wrong” purse with me. arrrgh. I am trying to make sure that I have tracts in every purse and my gym bag and brief case so that I always have something to give away. Trish, you are such an inspiration for a scaredy-cat who needs to witness and wants to witness, but does not witness enough.
March 5th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Wow! What an awesome oppurtunity - I wish I had more people like you close to me. Sometimes it gets hard to stay in the Word when there is so much to pollute the good!
March 5th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
you guys are awesome- wish I could meet you and the guys sometime. you really inspire us.
March 5th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I would love love love to win this! Thank you for the opportunity… and for interviewing Trish. I just love her.
March 5th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Heyy! Trish is Amazing! Praise God for what she does! I look up to Trish alot as a teenage girl, and I pray alot for her, and Sovjoy!
mm the purse looks great, and has plenty of pockets for tracts! Yay!
Praying for you, Trish!

Trish, you are a true example for us!!! Thank you for everything
March 5th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Hi Trish,
(I still would LOVE to win it) I love using tracts. I travel alot and save up magazines for trips, after I finish reading them I slip a tract in and offer it to another passenger or flight attendant. Recycling and fishing at the same time! 
Thank you for all you are doing for God’s Kingdom! I am truly proud to be you sister in Christ! Your giveaway looks like my current handbag stuffed full of tracts
March 6th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Awesome stuff! Please enter me in the contest
March 6th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Wow! I am so encouraged that I had to scroll past so many posts! Praise the LORD for His laborers! Thank you, Trish, for your encouraging ministry for the glory of Christ! What a blessing that we can all be connected through the internet!
I found a very important video on the Evangelism Team YouTube channel about having a balance in our Christian life between serving the church, family, evangelism, etc. It really convicted me. I hope you all have time to watch it because it is something we don’t hear too often.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/evangelismteam and watch the Tip of the Week (March 2-8, 2009).
God bless you all!

Trish,
I am greatly encouraged by your boldness to proclaim Jesus Christ to a lost & dying world! I am a Realtor & have found my work to be my ministry more than a job.
I also am taking college courses at a local university (and my son is a freshman there as well) and have been blown away by the atheist view points that gush from so many professors in the classrooms, especially the freshman courses that are required. I have been a Christian for a long time & I know the Word, so I have had no problem speaking up in classes. Needless to say, several professors have been challenged by my speaking up. Kids, though, are afraid to speak up & I encourage them to GET IN THE WORD–”study to show themselves approved…rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” Tracts are an easy witnessing tool and I have enjoyed looking at all your “reach out” ideas!
Thank you again, for your boldness and desire to help others become “fishers of men”! MK

Wow! I have seen Trish’s videos on giving out tracts at fast food drive thorugh and this video was great! I’m trying to get out with my tracts and speak to people. I definitely do leave them where I can!
Thank you, Trish!
March 6th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
What an inspiration! That’s for the great tools.
March 6th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Keep on talking and trackin’ Trish. Super ideas too. Thank you for your dedication and inspiration.
March 6th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
I would like to win the Tracts, the Handbag I give to mi wife, Last week I finished reading The Way of the Master book is awesome and with this Tracts would be very helpful to start evangelizing on the streets. God bless you Trisha. Good Work.
March 7th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Hey your web is totaly cool. I love it.
March 7th, 2009 at 10:04 am
First I’d like to thank everyone for their comments. May the Lord God bless you all as you heed to His Word and incline your ears to His every whisper.
Many of you have commented on the quality of this interview and how much you were blessed that it was a video interview. This video interview was totally God’s idea and only by His generous outpouring of wisdom, knowledge and strength was this done. I have NEVER been involved in a video interview, nor have I ever edited one. God is glorious!
How awesome it is, that we, who are yet but dust, can ever participate in God’s glorious work of redemption. Thank You Jesus.
“What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. ~ Psalm 116:12-13
@ Sarah Cecilia: go to http://www.wayofthemaster.com or http://livingwaters.com to obtain all the resources to teach you how to evangelize biblically and effectively. Many have mentioned reading Way of the Master, I also highly recommend that. This is how Trish, me and many who commented here, learned how to stay true to the Gospel Jesus preached and not the watered-down, seeker-friendly version of man.
@ Pamela: I’ve been very ill for the past 5 years and spend a LOT of my time in hospitals and dr.’s offices. So, I’m with you sister!
I’ve found hospitals to be fabulous places to have one-2-ones as well as hand out or leave tracts. Hospitals have literature racks and I leave “Hell’s Best Kept Secret/True and False Conversion” CD’s on those racks as well as my all time fav, “How to Live Forever Without Being Religious.” I encourage you to do the same. 
@ Michelle: I’m so humbled that the Lord chose to use this interview to edify you! Truth be known, the Lord our God did ALL the work, Trish and I (and her husband Emilio, who did the camera work) just showed up for duty!
@ Crystal Van Bonn: Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Glory be to God alone. Btw, it was also TOTALLY God’s idea to put the Scriptures on the videos…He just chose to use my keyboard.
God is generous!
@ Jenifer: Amen sister!
@ Sue: Amen and amen! THIS is exactly why God put it on my heart to do the interview this way: for if Jesus to be lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself [John 3:14].
@ Linda Rankin: I love you my dear friend and sister. ♥
@ Carey: Ditto!
@ Kristen: Sister, you put a smile on my face!
Abiding in the Son, tends to give anyone a “sunny” disposition. 
I’m sure you have one too! 
@ Marcey Daniel: Bless you dear sister.
@ Theresa: I used to have the same problem. Solution: I only use 2 purses (1-spring/summer, 1-fall/winter) and I keep them both stocked with tracts and CD’s at all times. I also purchased a tract wallet from LW so my tracts don’t get crumbled in my purse. I also load my car with tracts so I can hand them out quicker at drive thru’s or when I see employees out for a break in parking lots and such.
@ Andrea Burkhardt: WOW, this is fabulous! Thank you for sharing this link! I was completely blessed! Too often I’ve seen Satan use evangelism as a way to bring division b/t husbands and wives as I know many who witness w/o their husbands and w/o their blessing. Truly, we must find our balance in Christ and not in our own passions for Him. Thank you so much Andrea for this link! Bless you!
Oh, I also highly recommend everyone purchase the Evidence Bible. It’s an incredible resource with Scriptures (that are highlighted) to help cast out your fears, exhort you and teach you how to answer with Scripture for the hope you have in Christ Jesus our Lord. I absolutely LOVE my Evidence Bible my darling husband bought for me last year for my birthday!
I hope all these additional resources help you to honor God and attribute all glory and praise to Him as you strive to exalt the name of Jesus.
“If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.” ~ C.T. Studd

Hey Trish! Went to your meeting this a.m. at Brookfield Assembly. Enjoyed your presentation-what a great speaker you are! You inspired my friends and I to start giving out tracks for JESUS.
We went to Chili’s on our way home, left some tracks in the ladies room and gave one to our waiter. Later, we stuck one in the gas pump. SO FUN!!
Thanks for the great message and a new outlook on evan-JOY-lism!
p.s. Remember to try and find the 8 reasons I don’t Evangelize clip so we can download - we laughed until we cried!
March 7th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Thanks for the encouragement for sharing our faith. Its always inspiring to see people witnessing and giving out tracts. God bless you all.
March 8th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Hey Trish!!! I had so much fun at Uth Saturday night. I had a great b-day and I really enjoyed hearing you speak.I am really looking forward to giving out these tracts and maybe bringing some people to Christ. Your speaking at Uth really opened my eyes to the fact that some people in my family( my grandpa) might not have until tomorrow so I have got to start now. Thx Maria
March 8th, 2009 at 11:47 am
I would really like to win this for my mother… Trish and Liz just came to our church here in CT, and we all loved them. They have done such a great job with our congregation and kids. They spoke at our women’s convention, our youth group (I’m a youth leader), to our congregation, and our Children’s Church on Sunday. They are truly great witnesses to non-Christian’s and Christians alike. Liz and Trish really inspired several kids from my youth group as well as myself, and I can only say thank you for their help and we will surely meet again soon. (here or in the air)
Thanks again,
Paul C.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Hi Trish!! I got the chance to hear you speak this Saturday at Assembly of God church in Brookfield, CT. Thank you so much for coming! You’re such an encouragement, especially since I’ve only been saved a couple years and am still trying to find ways to witness to people in my life. I never really thought about talking to everyone about Christ, rather than just the people that i am close to. I left Evan-joy-lism ready to go work for Christ and so excited for the next time I go to the drive-thru
Thanks for your honestly and your love for Jesus. It’d was a blessing to be able to hear you speak and learn how to witness even more. Thanks!!
March 8th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Love this idea!
I SO appreciate your ministry and faithfulness to our Lord and the body of Christ!
You are truly a blessing to SO many!
BTW I loved the song that you and your hubby did “from everlasting”.Not only do you have beautiful voices,…but also beautiful feet(:
Soli Deo Gloria!
March 8th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Hey Trish and Liz!
Enjoyed your ministry this weekend in Connecticut! You can have the next few days off…lol
God Bless you both.
March 9th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Thanks for the Women’s Meeting at Brookfield Assembly of God this past weekend! It was such a blessing and truly is setting fires under our feet to go share our faith. The handbag is such a great idea! Thanks again!
March 9th, 2009 at 10:52 am
God Bless Trish! May God continue to bless her as she boldly proclaims the truth of the Gospel that is able to save. She has truly been an encouragement to me in witnessing.
March 9th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
The Lord is using Trish as His “magnet for the lost.” He takes her zeal and compassion for the lost, coupled with her contagious personality, and uses it for His glory right there on the front-lines of the unsaved battlefield. Her “Evan-joy-lism” approach has certainly equipped me to go out there witness on the front-lines!
March 9th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
This is amazing!
March 9th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Would love to win this!
March 10th, 2009 at 5:05 am
Great bag with all kinds of goodies.
March 10th, 2009 at 5:09 am
Trish, thank you for providing the wonderful tools and simple approaches to witnessing.
March 10th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Thanks so much for speaking at my youth group Saturday night. You truly things that were VERY meaningful to me. I also learned some things about how to witness more biblically. Hope we meet again! Thanks for all youve done! God Bless!
Sabrina (I spoke to you after about some things for a while)
By the way… super cute purse! ( I LOVE PURSE’S :] )
March 11th, 2009 at 5:46 am
Put my name in the hat Trish. My wife would love your tract purse. We both hand out the Million dollar tracts everywhere we go. Keep up the good work and my God bless all that you do. Thanks.
March 11th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Trish,
Love the work you do. I pray to God that I receive your boldness so that I can actually speak to people and not just hand out tracks. God bless you.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:09 am
I think we need to see more videos like that second one! We all know we’re supposed to spread the Word, but have absolutely NO CLUE how to begin, what to say, how to steer the conversation… it’s all good, valuable stuff here.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:38 am
@ ValleyGirl,
Ive got GREAT news for you! You can see more videos like the second one!
Go to http://wayofthemaster.com
They even sell the DVD’s at http://livingwaters.com.
Both Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron do a FABULOUS job teaching all of us how to seek to save the lost, the way Jesus did - whether they be your family, friends, co-workers or total strangers!
You can even attend the Ambassador’s Academy in CA and learn to do this alongside our faithful brothers and sisters at Living Waters/Way of the Master ministries.
Hope this helps and encourages you!
Sunny
March 12th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Oh I also forgot to mention ValleyGirl, that The Way of the Master has a YouTube channel too, and you can watch witnessing clips there as well!
Bless you!
Sunny
March 12th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
What a powerful and encouraging two videos. I would love to share the tracts and enjoy the purse, too. God bless you greatly!

March 13th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I was thrilled to watch these videos! This was truly a fantastic opportunity to use a video interview.
Handing out tracts and speaking has been on my heart lately, to be blessed in watching these and acquire tips and advice has really amped up my desire to move forward with this conviction despite my fears and stepping out of my comfort zone! Thank you!
And what a great purse too!
Even if I don’t win it, I even have some ideas of which pockets to place tracts at in my own purse!
Peace and blessings to all!
March 13th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I absolutely LOVE this site and all the wealth of information that it gives the Christian Women in sharing her faith with others.
Sunny and Trish really did step out of their comfort zones, which is something that I often times have a difficult time in doing. Thank you both for showing us that it really isn’t that difficult and that it’s all in the glory of our Lord and Savior!
The advice that was given was phenomenal and will definitely be used. I think that the video interview is one that you should continue to do as it really helps to not just read/hear, but to be able to see really drives the message home!
Praise be to God!
March 14th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Really enjoyed watching the interview!
Trish, what a good idea with the purse, too!
SarahM
March 14th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
That interview challenged me “a seasoned” pastor’s wive of 35 yrs to get back into witnessing…thank you.
March 14th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Trish,
Thank you for your ministry. I have been greatly encouraged and inspired by your example. I am slowly but surely growing in sharing the gospel. I sure would love to win the handbag. It would be great for my trips to the mall for an evening of witnessing.
God Bless You!
March 15th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Hey, I attend the First Assembly of God Uth group, but I wasn’t able to make it the night you spoke. I’m sorry I missed it, but I learned about your website and wanted to leave a comment. Thx
March 15th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Thanks Trish.
I will continue the door knocking even without the nice handbag. although it would be even better with the handbag!!
In Christ, Beth
March 16th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Thanks so much Trish!
March 16th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
I love street witnessing and giving out gospel tracts. Trish is a wonderful role model for Christian women and I’m glad to see that she will have a partner in her endeavors.
Blessings,
Susan
March 17th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
We love to hear the real witnessing opportunities that Trish and the men of Way of the Master and Wretched Radio get into. Thanks for letting us be a fly on the wall.
March 17th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Thanks gang for all the positive feed back. Appreciate all your comments. Very encouraging. If you ever get a free moment keep the atheists on my blog in prayer. They just break my heart. God bless you all…can’t wait to see who wins the handbag!
March 19th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Thanks for all you do Trish!!
March 19th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Trish,
OMG,you are truly amazing!:o) I have alway’s been afraid to approach anyone
even family, until they are sick, to ask if they have accepted Jesus Christ as thier Savior. I had no idea how, I am a very nervous person. I figured that I would stutter, look away without looking at the person I am talking to so that they would know how serious accepting Jesus Christ is.
After watching your viedo on Chrisitan Woman Online you gave me so much confindence. I down loaded your viedo, I am going to study it, look at it again and again and aagain. If I can get down just part of your method, ask
God to help me to be the person that He want’s out witnessing to people I know I can do it. I don’t mean a word for word thing but the concept, it is so awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing your viedo, and your self, the way God made you to be to witness to others.
I am totally excited….

March 19th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Wow Trish!
I really like the handbag, but to get all those goodies inside of it would be a huge blessing! You are such an inspiration to me. I had discovered you for the first time yesterday while browsing the internet. I think I found you through the Living Waters website. I have been online for two days now looking for every video you have ever made. :)I am going to attempt to teach an evangelism class this fall and your video’s have given me some Great idea’s to share! Thank-you for having a heart that reflects our precious Savior’s heart. I pray you and yours to be abundantly Blessed as you have been a huge blessing to me. Praising God for you sister!
March 19th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I’m so thankful for the blessings of Trish, and others like her. Their sharing of the stories is very encouraging for others of us… it’s great to see the ease that can be developed (with a little practice) and the reactions of real people to being ‘evangelized’. I’d love a chance to win a bigger bag to stuff with tracts… I always carry a small one, so end up stuffing my pockets (or my stealing tracts from husband!).
March 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Hey Trish.. I would love the tract handbag, i have been giving out the IQ test ones you designed right & left. I LOVE witnessing. Just so much fun to share Jesus. Take care, see you soon!
March 19th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
The Lord truly has used you for His glory and I pray that more men would step up and share their faith, including myself!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:08 am
i really like the way of the master and giving out tracts .i live in a small town .and not many people are doing what the lord says in his word .keep up the great work .your friend sheila
March 20th, 2009 at 6:58 am
Thanks for the opportunity Trish.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Thanks Trish!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Trish thank you so much for coming to our school and telling us about the tracts. You have inspired me to want to go out and preach to others…THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:26 am
you are an awesome woman of God!!!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:27 am
Trish, you have helped so many of us at our school find ways to tell others the good news!!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Hi Trish,
This is my first visit to your website. I listen to your “fishing” segments on WretchedRadio (formerly Way of the Master). Cool site, thanks for sharing. Continue to be a blessing to God’s Glory!

Thanks so much Trish for your blog, it is a great encouragment to me. It has really helped me to see how to share my faith simply and biblically - and I love the “tips” that you give. Very helpful stuff!
Thank You!

I’d love to win the witnessing bag! I’m taking advantage of sharing tracts and more importantly sharing the Gospel.
PLEASE…I’d love to win!
March 21st, 2009 at 7:29 pm
What a thought provoking video. I’ve been reluctant to hand out tracts even though I have some excellent ones. Thanks for the encouragement.I’ll start carrying a stash.
March 22nd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Trish you really, really encourage me in my gospel tract handing out. I love your witnessing videos! Thanks for everything you do!
God bless your ministry!
March 23rd, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Hi Trish, I need a bigger bag to hold all my tracts, perfect timing!!
God bless your ministry!
March 24th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Sunny, thanks for this incredible set of interviews with Trish. Wow! I have a friend who has set an example for me with many of these suggestions already (wink), and I have seen firsthand the difference it makes in others. God is in this, and I’m so thankful for His hand on this interview.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
wow what a great give away and great help to spread the word.

March 24th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Hey Trish,
Great job on inspiring more men and women to continue to evangelize. This bag would be a great incentive to my new girlfriend who is now starting to go out with me evangelizing!…but no pressure
in God’s hands,
