Heinz Plays Ketch-up

What do Heinz ketchup and steak sauce have to do with sharing Christ? What most people do not know is that Mr. Heinz was wonderful at sharing his faithr. One day a visiting preacher cornered him in church. “You are a Christian, but with all your energy, why aren’t you up and at it for the Lord?”

Mr. Heinz went home angry. The preacher’s question had made him mad. But that night, Mr. Heinz could not sleep. Finally, at four o’clock in the morning, he asked God to make him a faithful and zealous soul winner. Later, at a meeting of bank presidents, Mr. Heinz turned to the man next to him – one who had been his friend for years – and told him about Jesus. His friend looked at him in amazement and said, “I wondered many times why you never spoke to me about this if you really believed in Christ.”

That man became the first of 267 people that Mr. Heinz led into a personal relationship with Christ. He became a faithful and zealous witness, personally sharing the Gospel with people from all walks of life. All because he took the challenge and the opportunity to share his faith.
