This is not a joke.

I imagine there’ll be plenty of: “His name is Paul Worth, he works in Woolworths…” and I’ll bet all the money in my pockets (€1.70) that it tells the story of “just another day in Coventry market”, and won’t feature an unsolved sexual assault behind Rupert’s fish stall resulting in a teen suicide.

David Cain, much like the Cain of the Bible, is a juggler. He juggles for Jesus. Not in the sense that Jesus has hired David to juggle for him (Jesus prefers a more traditional magic show), but in the sense that David uses his juggling skills to bring people to Christ.

Here are some of the things David juggles in order to bring people to Christ:

And here he is bringing someone to Christ using two of them:

You’re probably wondering how exactly he spreads the gospel by juggling…? Here, from his website, is how:

A Few Of David’s Routines:

• Beanbags and bouncy balls are juggled to illustrate how the Resurrection makes Jesus very different from every other religious leader throughout history. (Acts 2:31; 1 Cor. 15:14)
• Three clubs are juggled in many ways to contrast the truth that Jesus is the only way to heaven. (John 14:6)
• A routine using five clubs is presented to discuss the fact that Jesus demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross in our place. (Rom. 5:8)
• A Chinese Rhythm stick is used to tell the story of Paul the apostle. (Acts 9:1-31)
• A giant Chinese yo-yo is used to discuss the miracles and ministry of Jesus. (Acts 2:22-24)
• Swords are juggled and a message is given about how our words can hurt others, just like a sword. (Prov. 12:18)
• A telephone and two balls are juggled to illustrate the importance of making prayer a priority in our lives. (Psalm 17:6; Col. 4:2)
• The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is shared using juggling clubs. (John 11)
• A bowling ball, ping pong ball, and tennis ball are juggled to share a message about the importance of knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior. (Eph.2:8-9)
• A wide variety of props (including Barbie and Ken dolls as well as an apple) are juggled to tell the story of creation, the fall, and redemption of mankind. (Rom. 5:17)
• Three balls are juggled to illustrate the need not just to believe that God exists, but also to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. (James 2:19; John 1:12)

NB – if you’re thinking of hiring David, he can tailor his routines to be as short as 10 minutes or as long as 2 hours. Although for the 10 minute set you might have to lose Lazarus.
