Hamburger Evangelism

Compared to other hamburger chain stores like McDonalds or Burger King, "In-N-Out" is a fast-food restaurant that has cheaper and testier burgers, is clean and friendly and always crowded with people. Even people who do not enjoy burgers say that they would like to go to "In-N-Out" burgers, and there are also parents who visit "In-N-Out" once a week because they cannot bear their children's pestering. You're likely to have a wait in line for along time to eat an "In-N-Out" burger. Although we would like to see more branches, they follow their solid working principle by not excessively expanding their business.

Whenever our family visits this place, we check on the little writting that is imprinted on the bottom of a cup. It says, "For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life - John 3:16."

This is a verse that contains the essence of the Gospel. When I wfirst saw this writing, I wondered why they would have this verse printed on the bottom of a cup. If they want to evangelize, why don't they print it on the place where people could see it easily? Why the bottom? Then when I thought about it more, I learned that it was a careful combination of considerations of a Christian business owner's faith and business mind. I think this is the exquisite product that contains a professional business spirit that does not want to offend believers of other religions, and a believer's prayer that hopes God will use "In-N-Out" for world evangelism.
