Friday, 2 October, 2009
Last Friday night we had 3 extra people come out on the outreach with Rachelle and me. Richard, Yvette and Phil came with us, Rich and Yvette had come out before but Phil was new to the group, but understood Hells best kept secret and how we share the gospel with people so was great. After praying we spread out on both sides of the street at about 9.45pm. We managed to give out lots of million pound notes and cartoon good person tracts, and two conversations that I had went really well.
The first was with a 19 yr old guy waiting at a bus stop. I offered him a mpn and started talking with him, and he understood the consequences and results of sin, and I left the conversation with him challenged and noteable tears in his eyes. Later on my fiancée Rachelle handed a couple a tract, and as they walked past I explained it to them. When going through the commandments, particularlly the 9th and 7th, his face changed. I found out he was a student at the University, and had cheated on his girlfriend who lived away and had come down to visit him. He had disclosed to her that night he had cheated on her and lied and so was very applicable to him that if God judged him he would be very guilty and knew what the consequences of that would mean. He then had to leave but I gave his girlfriend some more tracts to read later which she appreciated.
I could see all the others having good conversations with groups of students planning their drinking sessions that night, but then noticed the guy from the bus stop waving at me. I went over and he started asking me if I believed in creation, miracles, etc and I explained that if we can believe God made everything in 6 days, then miracles are actually not that hard to explain and understand. While we were talking he missed his bus that didn't stop, and it took an hour wait for next one, so I offered to give him a lift home. Rachelle and I dropped him home and continued to chat about things, and he said he had been to Church in the past as a kid and that his mum still went to church, and asked if he were to read the bible where he should start so I mentioned the book of John and gave him some more tracts and my email. He seemed really interested and hope he contacts me again. God gave us a really good night and so hopefully some seeds were sown that God can use in conversations with other people in the future.
