On Saturday, as usual we gathered at the Starbucks to pray and share the words to get ready with evangelism. This week we focused on handing out Christmas gospel tracts as we had many of them left.
But by God’s grace we had quite a few conversations that were interesting and God glorifying. I met four teenagers who were quite rough in their speech and did not concentrate well to the message but they found the gospel tract interesting. However, as conversation started, one teenager was very much engaged in conversation when other three were not. It seems she listened to every words that was shared very carefully and answer the questions honestly and appropriately, she even helped me to calm the other guy as he was disturbing the conversation and getting angry at me, she could see the need of our saviour Jesus Christ after the law of God was displayed. Please pray for all the teenagers so that they may repent and put their trust in Jesus Christ.
One middle aged Muslim man showed interest in MERRY CHRISTMAS gospel tract so I had privilege to share the gospel with him. He was accusing Christianity’s legitimacy with very common objection including ‘bible being changed overtime’ & ‘Jesus not being God’. He was willing to listen to my answer for his objections and finally the conversation led to the main point of the gospel. He took the whole conversation seriously and it seemed like he was quite convinced on the point that if God is truly God of love and justice how can GOD reconcile those two character in pardoning the sinners without someone like 'Jesus Christ’. Please pray for him as you read the report.

I spoke to a Seik (I think that's how it's spelled) man who didn't know the Gospel or much of Christ at all. He didn't know of the virgin birth or much at all of Jesus dying on the cross. He believed in being good to go to heaven and that God would judge everybody when we die. As we spoke about sin and our own guilt before God he seemed to be thinking quite a bit on it and expressed that he didn't think he could ever stop certain sins and seemed concerned because he knows he will face God one day.
I shared the Gospel of grace and he was grateful to hear of grace instead of works salvation. We ended our conversation as his lunch break was over. Please keep him in prayer. SOLI DEO GLORIA !
