Frequently, we're faced with overcoming people's preconceived notions about Jesus and what it means to be a believer before we can share our faith with them. What do people think about Christianity? Really? Four college guys decided to find out.

It Texas, we’d cover than in just over two hours. But they have no interstate system and they have no means to build one now. There are speed HUMPS not bumps, in every community to slow traffic. Everytime traffic slows, here come the hawkers. Water, fruit, chipatie (Kenyan tortillas), cookies, potato chips, SHOES – I’ve seen it all being hawked by the roadside with people running up to your window with them. Esp if they see a white face. I’ve never been ashamed of being white – it’s how God made me after all – but it’s no asset ...
