Friday, 16 October, 2009
The numbers of the group are still low, people attend when they can and on the outreaches we do on weekends, but this Friday night there were just 3 of us again- Phillip, Rachelle my fiancee and me.
Again we met at the top Mcdonalds in Plymouth city centre to chat and then ventured across to the University.
Weather was not great but still lots of students around to chat to.
Rachelle stood handing out tracts near me, some from Nigel Williams freetractsource site, Phil went across the road again top the bars, while I approached people with my million pound notes which always seem to be a favourite.
A group of about 7 skaters had been handed some tracts by Rachelle, and as they walked past I led them in some conversations as to what they were. We chatted for about 15-20 minutes, and although a few listened and didnt respond, 2 or 3 also responded back with some normal debates about proof of the existence of God andabout morality etc. They all shook hands and all took tracts, one of the guys seemed notablely moved and was good that maybe it had sunk in, when they all heard the gospel and some analogies about the shortness of life, my accident and the consequences of sin.
Another chat at the very end of the night went real well with 3 lads. @ had previously been in the forces, andthis came to my attention when going through the commandments and God seeing hatred as murder. They both looked at each other a bit sheepishly and so I explained to them that in the Bible killing and manslaughter/ murder were different and some accounts of this.
Again when I showed them my scars and accident story, this tied in with the importance of getting right with God and sharing the gospel with their friends and family etc. Again they took some tracts and shook hands with them and was a good evening.
Even though there was only 3 people again, the conversations were really positive and hopefully will bear fruit with their friends at University
