The Jehovah’s Witnesses made two devotees
I heard this interesting account of how a devotee came in contact with Krishna consciousness: Bhakta Bruno from Zagreb was eighteen when he met a Jehovah's Witness on the street distributing their magazine. The title on the cover asked "Who is ruling the world, God or Satan?" Bruno felt attracted and attended a few of their meetings.

A person from another faith reciprocates in a nice way.
While distributing books in Windsor, England, not far from the castle where the queen sometimes spends her weekends, I approached a man and showed him the Bhagavad-gita. While I was showing it to him, he mentioned that he's a Christian. I said, "That's great. You know, atheism is growing in Europe like never before.

Reading Prabhupada’s books during the communist era

Shastra Krit Dasa: Yesterday in Parammatta Sydney one gentle westernised Indian lady came to me while I was on book distribution and said “I want to buy a set of Srimad Bhagavatam.” I almost fell on the ground in shock. I couldn’t believe someone wants a set while I’m struggling to sell even one book. Then I asked how she knew about the Srimad Bhagavatam.
