It was raining continually during the outreach in Brisbane city last night. But since there is cover near where we witness it didn't really hinder the outreach. Instead it channels people right past us as they are ducking for cover.
We were lower on team numbers but lots of great conversations were able to be had. One person I talked to was a young guy named Steve. He initially didn't want to talk, but we ended up having a long in-depth conversation.
He said he was the owner of nightclubs and he says his life is about the accumulation of money and gold. He pointed to his gold watch and necklace. He said he doesn't think about eternal matters.
As I talked about sin, the coming judgement and the cross with him, you could tell he was intently listening. After hearing of the gospel he said, "So what is the next step?" Later on he also asked the question, "Would I have to give up my nightclubs?"
For him, you could tell that his love of money was stopping him from coming to Christ, but he said he would seriously consider the message. Please pray for him.
Not long later, Michael mentioned to me that he had just been talking to an older guy who is the owner of the strip clubs in the area. This man kept bringing up the fact that he had died before and therefore isn't worried about what comes after. However Michael was able to share the truth with him for a long while.
Please also pray for:
• Anzil - Muslim parents, said he is sinning a lot, gave him gospel of John, said he would think about the message he heard.
• Kieran - too many things going on in life to worry about what comes after. Softened up, took gospel of John.
Many seeds were sown, God gives the increase. To Him alone be the glory!
