That is absolutely true.  I get MANY opportunities to witness because of my
dress.  Just recently when our church was fasting I got on the elevator.
There was a man on there that said "My what long hair you have"  I got to
tell him I was Pentecostal and invite him to church.  Then I transfered to
another elevator and a professor that works in my dept. said "boy you have
long hair" and I got to witness to her about my conversion.  The fast drew
the people to notice my hair so I could witness to them.

Praise the Lord!

13  Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing,
O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy
upon his afflicted.

14  But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

15  Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not
forget thee.

16  Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are
continually before me. (Isaiah 49)
