Friday, 11 September, 2009
Tonight there were just 3 of us, my friend April came with Rachelle and me. We went to the McDonalds again for a bite to eat and a hot chocolate, and discuassed plan for the night. WE then went to the usual spot, prayed and committed the night to the invisible God who knows the minds and hearts of all who we were going to speak with, praying he would send the right people along. And boy he sure did!
The first group I spoke with were very civil and talkative, and at the end of the conversation a student called Ali thanked us for the conversation. However, one of the girls in the groups face had screwed up, and so I asked her why. She said she was a Christian and attended church when she was not working, but she seemed offended at what I was saying. When probing with her, she said that it was peoples choice whether people believed or not, and she didnt feel she should speak to people about the subject as they would believe if they wanted to.
I agreed with her that if people chose not to believe then they would have to face the consequences of hell, but that was not Gods will for their life, but he still uses us to continue to witness to people and for him to save them. When she left, another lad in the group approached me, and thanked me for speaking to the group. He also said he was a Christian and attended another Church, and that all that I had made sense, and was intregued as to uas being out. So I explained to him some of the teaching and basic training I had received to go out and do this, and so hopefully he will get in contact.
Later on that evening, we had a few chats with a few other students who said they were also Christaisn, but who were going out drinking thatnight, and said they struggled with being a Christian and living a life as a student. So I witnessed to them about the need for them to be born again, and about repentance, the law of God and regeneration. They seemed to understand and took a few tracts each.
Throughout the night my fiancee Rachelle and April seemed to have many good conversations with girls and some other groups, while I handed out tracts and spoke with atheists, agnostics and those interested in chatting. At the very end of the evening we had a very good conversation with a student called Paddy and some others, and they really seemd to understand the bneed to get right with God, and the amazing work that jesus had done on the cross for them, about repentance and putting their trust in him. Their faces lit up when they heard the good news, and were very ameniable to talking, taking trcats and reading the bible.
All 3 of us were full of joy at the end of the evening, that just 3 of us could be used to make a small difference and hopefully those students would come back and also talk to their friends about their conversations. Hopefully more will come out with us this Friday to the University and experience the joy of explaining the good news of the gospel to a lost world!
