The weather was great once again !, It is truly God’s grace that the weather has been so good during outreach hours. There were lots of people despite being Tuesday evening. three of us gathered and shared the word and prayed for the evangelism.
As it is Christmas season, we took the advantage of it by asking “what do you think about Christmas?” and also It gave us opportunity to easily start the conversation naturally.
One of the highlight was the conversation that I had with very devoted Muslim named Saat, he was about 25 years old and he was ready with answers and questions to prove that Jesus is not GOD and Jesus did not actually died on the cross by sighting Quran so I spent around 45 minutes with him where Jesus himself claimed that He was God and why the death on the cross and resurrection is so crucial for our forgiveness and justification and also for God to stay just and loving at the same time. Saat did listened carefully and read the bible verses that were sighted to him but at last he said "bible is not in its original language so it cannot be trusted” It seemed like Saat really dislike the idea of God being man becoming sacrifice and that it is not our righteous act but it is God’s grace that saves us so that God receive all the credit. It was clear that Saat was quite frustrated and at times raised his voice but he promised to think about it. So please pray for Saat.
Finally, I met a lady called Mary, when I opened up the conversation she kept on mentioning “I am not the right person to talk to” but when her eternity was questioned she engaged into conversation. Gospel was shared
and she said that she would think about it. So please pray for Mary as well.
From Huy Do who joined the evangelism:-
It is nearing Christmas, people reacted better than expected, Christmas season provides a great opportunity to talk about why it is that Jesus was born and why was that birth so significant. One great highlight of evangelism was a conversation with a young student from Singapore by the name of Joseph. He was asked the question of “what makes it so significant about a man born in a manger that we have to celebrate His birth 2000 years later?”. The question, along with his answer provides a wonderful opportunity to share with him the Gospel. He was convicted of his sins and was provided with a way out of his sins, with salvation through the Gospel, please pray that God would change his heart.
Soli Deo Gloria ! who sustains us and give sufficient grace everyday to glorify and enjoy Him by preaching the gospel
