On Saturday, It was our first 3pm - 6pm outreach on this Saturday, there were lots of people in the street than usual. We met at the Starbucks and discussed why we do not use sinner’s prayer and danger that can come with it.
By God’s grace, we had lots of interesting conversations. I met two travellers from Netherlands (Mom and daughter). They were excited as they saw the big flip chart and engaged really well with questions and answers but when I started to share about God’s righteous judgement on sinners, they said “you know what it was really good in the beginning but this part I don’t like it” and they were about to leave so I had to quickly share the gospel with that saying “that is not the end of the story but despite all our sins Christ came and died in our place and rose again., if you repent and truly put your trust in Him Christ Jesus will forgive you” however they shook their head and went away. Please pray for them as you read this battle log.
I met these two boys who were really polite and kind in nature, they generously allowed me to do GOOD PERSON TEST with them. After the gospel was shared I urge them to believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again for their sins. The kid with long hair (as you can see in the photo) responded saying “Yeah I want to believe” but the boy with shorter hair did not give definite answer. Please.. Please earnestly pray for their salvation..jpeg)
From Dave Knight :-
On Saturday I worked with Liz and went to talk with people sitting on seats along Burke Street Mall outside David Jones, etc. we had a few people state they were not at all interested. However we continued to seek out folk to talk to. The first positive conversation was with a Korean couple. The man’s name was Long and his female partner was named Tu. Long did most of the talking as we asked questions and went through the flip chart with them. We were pleased they showed a lot of interest and by the end of the presentation they happily received more literature. Pray that through the words we shared and their reading of the literature we gave them that God’s Holy Spirit will convince them of their need to accept him into their lives.
We also had a good conversation with a middle aged man named Grant. He was not interested at first but was happy to answer some questions. As we proceeded to ask questions related to the flip chat he became more interested and asked several of his own back to us. Overall the conversations were worthwhile and we were pleased and encouraged to be able to witness for the Lord and share the gospel with those who hadn’t heard it before.
Note: I was with Liz during these times
From Huy Do :-
During this Saturday’s evangelism, something quite amazing happened. A young man about 8-9 years of age by the name of Thomas came and wanted to take the good person test, he was with his parents and was very fervent to take the test, to which I was willing to take him through the test. During the test, as he was going through the commandments, many more people also decided to stop and watch the entire event unfold, it actually drew a crowd. This is a particularly amazing highlight because it magnifies the strength of God in using even the smallest of people to bring about a crowd.
