Redcliffe (QLD) Team

Today was just awesome !!!!!  We had 4 people on team James, Robert, Andrew and Col and everyone had such wonderful conversations.

So many people clearly heard the good news. It's like every week God is touching the hearts of so many who are then open to the gospel.

Please pray for all those we talked to and please pray that God will continue to use the Redcliffe team for his purpose. Nothing we say can bring a person to repentance if God is not in it. Could you please put us on your prayer lists, thanks so much.

It was an unusual set of outreaches to the Eastgate and Northlands bus stops this week, because, sadly, I ended up talking to a lot of people under the influence of alcohol: either drunk or hungover.  And all this on a Thursday afternoon!

Some may think it’s a waste of time talking to someone who is drunk - will they remember what was talked about are they worth it?  They are just as worthy as me!  I had a compassion for them, and a realisation that they are just as spiritually dead as the rest of us in our sin (apart from Christ).  It is impossible for me to save drunk people - or anyone, but Christ can, through the preaching of the gospel.  So I persisted.

It started with a man in a bus shelter at Eastgate, drinking a can of beer.  It turns out Andy has spoken to him before, and he had some recollection of that.  I patiently tried to reason with him and explain the bad news of the law, and the good news of the gospel.  There were moments, where he tried to comprehend, but he said it was confusing.

Suddenly, a lady - also drunk, barged into the conversation.  She wanted to sit right between us, so I shuffled over so she could.  Her language was really foul, and she was being rude.  But I ignored it, and patiently tried to include her in the gospel conversation.  She lied to the first man about not having any cigarettes, because later she tried to sell him one for a can of beer.  And she condemned her father for being a drunk, oblivious to her hypocrisy.

I’m not sure if I made much progress with either of them.  But God loved us so much, that he died for us, even when we were His enemies.  May He have mercy on them too!

Latter, after they had both left, I cleaned up four empty beer cans from the bus shelter.

I moved over to the next bus shelter, and started a conversation with a young man, he was happy for me to talk, but his eyes glazed over a bit, which was discouraging - he wasn’t interested.  He said he had a hangover, and the conversation was a bit too heavy for him.

But another guy came into the shelter whom I recognised.  It turns out I had spoken to him outside the hospital about nine months ago.  He couldn’t tell me the way to heaven, but he was keen to hear it - but his bus was three minutes away!  I didn’t make it to the gospel, but he happily received a gospel tract.

At Northlands, I had one of the most intense conversations I’ve ever had.  It was with an ex-soldier, again drunk.  He challenged me on why he should believe in a God, and after a few minutes was about to walk off.  Thankfully I was able to keep him engaged enough so he stayed to talk.  This guy had seen some horrendous stuff in action and was wrestling with some deep hurts and sin.  He was suicidal, and I often I had to bring him back to the knowledge that there is real hope (in Christ) and not to kill himself.  I didn’t let this guy justify his sin - he swung from talking about some deep sins, but then saying he wasn’t bad enough for hell.  At the same time, I was doing my best to explain how even the worst of sins could be justly forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus and faith in Him.  This guy took a contact card for my church, and a gospel tract.

Friday morning we were back outside the Hospital bringing the gospel to the issue of abortion.  The highligh for me was a conversation with an ex-muslim man.  He wanted to take a photo of us to post on social media - no problem with us.  We had a great conversation where I was able to explain the basis for abortion being murder and the hope of forgiveness through faith in Christ.

At lunch time we were in Cathedral Square where Marty and Andy both preached in the open air.  I had a good follow up conversation with a guy who had heckled my open air preaching a few months prior.

In the afternoon, we were at the corner of Cashel Mall and Colombo Street.  I got into a gospel conversation with a lady handing out flyers for Uber Eats.  She had listened to many of my gospel conversations on Wednesday, and had received a tract.  But now I was able to talk with her directly.

Unfortunately, that conversation was interrupted by a new atheist (one who believes religion has no benefit for society).  He was in attack mode and talking very fast, I could barely keep up!  Eventually I was able to get him to shake my hand and exchange names.  And by the end of the conversation, we were talking about our children with each other.  He eventually received a phone call and had to go.  I didn’t get to finish that conversation with the Uber Eats girl, but hopefully I will have another opportunity.

I found the evening outreach difficult, I was struggling with a fear of man.  But I persisted in my attempts to share the gospel with people.  I was able to challenge four men from Ethiopia, who claimed to be Christian, about what our hope for forgiveness was.

On Australia day, God has faithfully sent 3 laborers to share the ‘Are you a good Aussie’ gospel tracts. The weather was lovely and pleasant. We started from 12pm which was just after Parade so there were still many people in the city

As I was handing out gospel tracts in front ZARA shop in Bourke st. one guy with wireless mic passed by so I handed out gospel tract and he took it and he started to interview me. Later on I found out that his name was Avi Yemni , conservative Jewish who is part of Australian Liberty Alliance. Avi is not a Christian. Please pray for Avi to trust in Jesus Christ that Jesus died and rose again.

The second interesting conversation I had was with lady called Mary. She was from France, she responded with respect and honesty however she seemed like she was struggling to believe in this gospel although she said “yes” to my urgent calling to repent and believe.  Gospel tracts were given to her after the conversation. Please pray for Mary as you read this report.

I also had a chance to talk with two teenagers but as I was going through the law they seemed offended and said “we have to leave sorry” and they left but they took the gospel. I pray that they will read the gospel tract so that they may know that bad news is no longer bad news when we put our trust in the good news that Jesus Christ died and rose again for our sins !

SOLI DEO GLORIA !

We give thanks to God that the Australia day celebrations at Suttons Beach is always a great day for outreach and today was another exceptional day. God provided 5 team members - Andrew, Gary, Kane, Damon and Col. Every team member had very many conversations and approximately 1000 tracts were handed out to the huge number of people along the foreshore.

Very early in the afternoon Damon had a very special conversation with a young guy by the name of Ben. In the space of 20 minutes Ben changed his opinion with regard to the existence of God and was seriously considering a relationship with God and putting his trust in Christ alone. Praise God for the way God turned this young man around and he certainly understood his need for a Saviour.

This encounter just reminded me again that it is God who saves and it is the Holy Spirit working in someone life who soften and changes a persons heart. We give God the glory in every conversation. Please remember our team in your prayer lists. We can do absolutely nothing apart from the Holy Spirit touching hearts. Please come and join us if you are feeling God is leading you.
What a wonderful Saviour we have in the Lord Jesus !!!

Wednesday in Christchurch dawned with rain - which was actually good, because the day developed into a very hot and sunny day and the cooler weather was better while I did some more letterbox dropping in the morning.

And for two days in a row, I was able to get into a gospel conversation while letterbox dropping!  Here is a pro tip: smile.  Everytime I pass someone on the street, I give a friendly smile, if they respond with their own smile it can easily allow for a conversation to start, which can lead to a gospel conversation.  Well today, my smile to a gentleman walking the other direction led to him receiving a tract and asking what it was.  When he learned I was a Christian, he quickly declared his Atheism - but was keen to chat.

Like yesterday, I wasn’t able to have a full gospel conversation, but I was able to challenge him on why evolution wasn’t sufficient as a creative mechanism, and why only God explained the existence of the universe and the life found in it.  I was able to give him a basis for morality, and show him how none of us met the standard.  But, sadly, he didn’t want to hear the good news of the hope of eternal life found in Jesus.  I hope he was challenged, and reads the tract that he put in his pocket.

Once I made it to Cathedral Square to start the first outreach of the day, I was able to catch up with one of the stall vendors.  I was encouraged to hear that some Christians had been preaching the gospel (a few days prior) in Speakers Corner using Ray Comforts’ trivia/money technique.  I hope I get to encounter them one day soon.

I ended up settling on the corner of Cashel and Colombo for the outreach and had four great gospel conversations.

An Indian girl heard and understood the gospel, but wasn’t willing to let go of her Hinduism.

I had a long conversation with a man who was a big fan of Jordan Peterson.  I had to be patient as the man processed the reasoning that undergirds the gospel.  He heard the law, but (again) didn’t want to hear the gospel.  But he seemed to really appreciate the chat.  He took a tract, and it would be great if I get to see him again.

At this point, the heat of the day was starting to take its toll, so I had an energy bar.  I went to put the rubbish in the bin, and to my surprise people had started to gather around my flip chart in my brief absence.  This led to a solid gospel conversation with two young ladies.

To finish off the morning outreach, I had a guy and girl show interest in the chart.  It turns out she had already done it about six months ago.  I asked her if she passed the test, and she said she hadn’t.  I asked if she knew the good news, and she didn’t.  So going from there, I took them through the chart.  Sadly, they were understanding, but not understanding.  They really weren’t interested in the good news.  And not surprisingly, they both failed my first checking question.  They had to go.

After lunch, the second outreach of the day started.  I ditched the flip chart and looked for shaded areas to approach people to chat.  I ended up having five gospel opportunities.  The two highlights were: a conversation with a young lady with a Catholic background who seemed very open to the foreign concept of salvation by faith alone: good news!  And a wonderful conversation on my first walk down High Street for the year (I only made it halfway due to this conversation).

The conversation was with an Atheist and was going really well, when a guy I hadn’t noticed came and interrupted.  He had overheard me say: “Jesus said ‘anger is like murder of the heart’”, and so his interruption was to ask if I knew Aramaic.  I was initially confused by this, but soon understood what he was getting at.  Interestingly, I think this guy was expecting me to get into an argument with him - he looked tensed up and ready to fight!  I think he was surprised when I responded gently.  We ended up shaking hands.  Maybe I broke his street evangelist stereotype?  I hope so.  Unfortunately, the conversation with either men wasn’t able to continue - the first guy had to go back to work.  But I hope these guys get more opportunities to hear the gospel - maybe from you?  You're ready to share the gospel - right?

I’m starting to get back into my regular schedule post some holidays and the NZ Summer Mission.  As always, thank you for your prayers and support!

Christchurch (NZ) Team

Sunday afternoon was the first outreach after the completion of the NZ Summer Mission in Christchurch & Dunedin (you can read the reports from the mission here).

It was a nice day, and there were lots of people in Cashel Mall.  But for whatever reason, it was really difficult to get a conversation started (in stark contrast to my experience in Dunedin).  Oh, how I miss being in Dunedin!  My three daughters were with me, and it was a good lesson in perseverance for them.  Evangelism is not easy - but Jesus is worthy!  Yet some tracts were received and I did manage to get into one conversation.

Mike joined us later in the outreach, and armed with his new mini flip chart, he went off in search of a conversation (paired up with Haley).  He came back with a wonderful report of a conversation with a tourist.  He was able to go through the whole flip chart with him - and the checking questions really helped the guy to understand the gospel.

On Tuesday I was doing some letterbox dropping before heading to Riccarton for the late afternoon outreach, when I was challenged by an older lady about what I was doing.  I looked up and informed her that I was putting gospel tracts in letterboxes.  She asked what a gospel tract was, so I explained that I was a Christian and that I wanted people to know the good news about Jesus - and a gospel tract communicated that message.  I was very surprised by her response.  I was expecting her to tell me not to put one in her box, but instead she was delighted!  She was doing some gardening, but was obviously very keen to talk, and so I sat down to oblige.

She had a Catholic background, and figured that her goodness would get her to heaven.  So she was deeply challenged when I showed her what Jesus taught about goodness.  She kept changing the subject to political issues, and how bad the world was, and how much people like me are needed.  But I kept gently bringing the subject back to the problem of her own sin.  She wasn’t open to a full gospel conversation, and so didn’t hear the good news.  But she did receive a tract.  As I moved on, I came to the end of the road, and crossed to come back down the other side to deliver tracts.  I was going to wave to her, but to my surprise she was gone.  I hope she went inside to study the tract.

The last time I had been in Riccarton was two weeks prior during the NZ Summer Mission.  There were about ten Christians there and I was amazed at how many conversations the team were able to have.  Now I was back on my own, and I struggled a bit to get conversations started.  Yet tracts were received, and over the outreach I was able to have three good gospel conversations.

The first was with a young lady, who was intrigued by my question about the afterlife, and stayed to hear the gospel via the big flip chart.  The second was with a guy (pictured walking away reading a tract) whom I had to really labour with to get him to understand the way to heaven.

The last was a wonderful conversation with another young lady, who had some Christian influence in her life, but had not really been able to sew it altogether.  Many times through the conversation I was able to observe the penny drop as she joined the dots and understood the gospel.  She would say things like: “It’s making sense now!” (multiple checking questions confirmed this).  At the end she was challenged to respond to the gospel.  She was keen to accept a free Bible and start reading it, and wanted recommendations for a youth group.  We talked about church options for her area, she also received a contact card for my local church.

As Monday was a public holiday (also known as a governement sanctioned evangelism day), the team of twelve headed into Brisbane City for an outreach. The team managed to have many conversations over the course of seven hours and overall it was a wonderful use of a day free from study or work.

After a few attempted conversations that were turned down a young Brazillian man, named Juan, stopped to chat. It was a valuable conversation and after comprehending the law and his guilt out of nowhere he mentioned something incredibly honest! He went on to explain that whilst he lived in Brazil he always felt dissatisfied and always thought that moving to another country would fulfil him. So he left Brazil and came to Australia and said that all his friends looked at his photos and were really jealous but once he arrived he just felt empty again!

This was used to show him that his greatest need wasn't his personal satisfaction but that he is still God's enemy and on his way to Hell, the gospel was explained and then it was pointed out that truth satisfaction will be found in knowing God. It was made clear that we shouldn't come to God to get satisfaction, we should come to God to get God but a life and eternity that is satisfying will result. He was able to articulate the gospel back and was encouraged to think about it seriously!

Eleven conversations later, the final conversation of the night took place with Freddie and Clement two German young men. They had grown up in a liberal church in Germany who rejected Hell and the sufficiency of scripture. It was interesting because at first they were arguing that God doesn't exist but they were shown that was simply an attempt to convinced themselves they really could live however they wanted and they both agreed. They saw that God because He is good must punish evil and that they are in very grave danger. Then they good news was shared, they came to grasp it and were able to explain the way to Heaven and it seemed like they really understood it!

Both commented how the conversation had really challenged them in many ways and therefore they would be thinking a lot about it as they headed on home. Usually European's are quite heard to the things of eternity but God is His kindness allowed these men to have some time of openness to be willing to consider that what they had hoped for was wrong.

Please be praying for these three guys that they trust in Christ alone for their forgiveness and as a result forsaking their sin and living for God!

What a wonderful day of outreach it was! Why not join us next week!

A battle log report of the New Zealand Summer Mission from an Australian perspective, part 2.

The week in Dunedin started very differently, the first morning of outreach consisted of three conversations with three heretics. The first was a lady who had been lead to believing that because she could utter phrases out of her mouth that she couldn't understand and had been immersed in water, although she was living adulterously and in direct rebellion toward God, was pretty sure she would be ending up in Heaven. The next was a lady from the same group (Revival Centres, an Australian export of false Christianity) except she was even further in, she was so sure that was how she would be saved that she rejected what God's word says in Romans 4:1-6, Ephesians 2:8-10 and every analogy about how gifts work. She was insistent, even after reading John 3 for herself (which she claimed talked about baptism) that it was her obedience toward God that would secure her eternity in Heaven. Lastly was a man who also was from Australia and was preaching that the life one lives after beliving in Christ was what would determines someone's entrance into Heaven. Thankfully despite the initial sadness bought by people professing the name of Christ who had been sucked in by cults the week began to improve significantly.

The first guy spoken to after lunch was named Cody. Over the course of the week the opportunity to have three conversations with him took place. This first conversation he came to understand the way to Heaven. After a morning with hard hearted people, he was open, willing to chat and grasped the good news very quickly. Two days later when he was chatted to again he said he had been wrestling with it. Not because the gospel wasn't good news but because he wanted to live his own way and specifically disagreed with God on the area of sexuality. He was given some simple answers and explanations from scripture as well as being asked some strong questions, the one that bought silence, was this, "Who knows better, Cody the twenty year old from New Zealand, or the eternally existing, all knowing, good and loving Creator of the universe?"

It is a pretty simple question to answer and Cody saw that his attempts to argue against God were folly. He was checked in with a final time on Friday and said he was really thinking it over. He knew that it was imoportant to consider, he was going to have a read of the gospel of John he was given and was very thankful for the opportunity to chat with someone who was patient, had simple and clear answers and really believed what they were saying.

Another exciting conversation was with Nelson who had moved away from the UK for work and left his wife behind (to follow when he got a job). He didn't really profess to be a Christian but was seriously challenged after a short conversation, was able to articulate the good news and how someone is saved and then asked a few questions about how to answer his wife who had started arguing some things about what meats "Christians' are meant to eat as she had started attending a SDA church. He was given the simple answer but was more importantly encouraged to start reading his Bible for himself (starting in John through Romans) to get a good grasped of the Christian message and lifestyle. I was able to speak later in the week and Nelson said he had a really tough chat with his wife about it. I encouraged him to pray for her, to keep reading his Bible to grow in knowledge and love for God so that he could lead and serve her well when they were back together.

A final conversation worth noting was with Gunja. A man who had been influenced by the JW's and was certain that if the Bible did not say what he thought, it must be "bodgey". He said the NWT was the only real Bible. In the first conversation he had two serious issues, firstly that people are made right before God by their own righteousness and secondly that Hell doesn't exist. Gunja, the discussion about Hell came first (as it was written on my tshirt) and it was answered simply by getting Gunja to read Revelation 20:7-14 in the NWT. He read it, asserted that it doesn't mention the word Hell and it was agreed that instead we could call it Gehenna, the Lake of Fire or the Second Deeath if he would prefer but that the idea of God's eternal judgement for sinners was clear in scripture.

Then he started to declared his own righteousness as the reason he would enter Heaven. He declared that he was definitly good enough. It was pointed out that he had blasphemed God multiple times by name during the conversation, had sworn, lied and been rude and angry and therefore he had no grounds upon which to declare that he would be good enough but Gunja in his pride determined he was fine. He was warned seriously about his eternity without Christ and he went on his way. He made a few stops by over the course of the week to stir up trouble but was mostly ignored because he already knew he was wrong and tried to justify himself with the declaration, "Hell does not exist".

A quick mention to God's sovereign will is regarding a young man named Ahmed. Glen approached him on Thursday and asked him what he thought happened after life, to which he responded, "Someome has already talked to me about this". When asked when and who, he mentioned it was in Brisbane and it was a guy with a camera. Glen pointed me out to him and he was pretty quickly wanted to leave. I spotted him and went to chat to him but he ran away. When he returned, I had a quick chat to him, he wasn't able to articulate the way to Heaven but I assured him that God was serious in getting his attention, this was now the third time we had spoken in as many cities. He was given a gospel of John and a tract and was challenged that he would have no excuse on judgement day when God had given him three very clear opprotunities.

Overall it was a week 89 conversations with 112 people and a wonderful time was had with the local Christians who hosted us and joined us for the outreaches. May God build His church in Dunedin!

A battle log report of the New Zealand Summer Mission from an Australian perspective, part 1.

The first week of the Summer Mission in Christchurch started strong. The first morning a team of eight turned up which was very exciting considering it was a Monday. The week continued, with eleven people on Tuesday and similar numbers throughout. Over the course of the week I personally had 77 gospel conversations with a total of 96 people. 5 days, 11 outreaches and over the course of the week, there have been a few stand out conversations.

Every opportunity to speak of Christ is a good one. Even opportunities to challenge people about the inconsistencies in their beliefs, to point to God's existence or to reveal sin via the law are valuable as well. Occasionally though there are moments in which God seems to really be calling someone.

On the first day there was a young man named Salomse, who had only been in the country for a matter of days and had been looking for some accomodation, as he was intending to start at university in the coming weeks. At first he was being quite closed and a little hostile and was struggling to engage as he was really trying to shut it down but by God's sovereign hand there came a point where he declared that he had tried his best to convince himself that God doesn't exist, so that he could justify living his own way but he knew that wasn't true. It was a wonderful moment where I got to help him with the clarity of how one is justified and the importance of responding in faith and therefore the resultant life change that will occur.

There was an important conversation with Jamie a professing atheist and quite knowledgeable about many topics but this didn't stop the gospel being his greatest need. He first came to hear the good news, was able to explain to me the way to Heaven and how a Christian will live and then was challenged as to how he would respond to it and then the excuses started. After answering quite a range of his objections, each time pointing out that it wasn't intellect or information stopping him from trusting in Christ but his desire to live his own way, it was cemented with the analogy showing that in every other case one can simply leave the place where the rules are set but when it comes to God because we cannot leave the universe we are stuck either to obey or to try and justify our disobedience by declaring that we don't believe God exists. Jamie heard this, said it made sense and was actually the best answer he had received and said he would have to consider the gospel.

A theme of people that I spoke to was professing Christians. It is almost hard to believe how many people say they are Christians (attend evangelical Churches) and then when asked what they would say to God if He asked, "Why should I let you into Heaven?" have in the forefront of their answer or sneak it in the back that they own obedience, or their baptism, church attendance or prayer life is why they are hoping they will end up in Heaven.

The last conversation of the week was with Louis an American who had stopped by in Christchurch on his way to working in the Antartic project. He said he had grown up with a Christian grandmother and once upon a time attended church but had walked away from it all a few years back. He was surprised that we stopped to chat to him and mentioned late in the converastion that he was sure God was trying to call out to him as just that previous night he had been pondering it in his hotel room. He was able to grasp the way to Heaven and was able to answer the questions asked correctly and took a gospel of John and a tract. He was challenged not to leave this just as knowledge but to trust in Christ this day because there are many people in Hell who knew the way to Heaven and yet never responded in faith.

Bribie Island (QLD) Team

  Our last outreach at Bribie Island was incredible!  The usually quiet island came alive as people flocked to the beach to celebrate Australia Day.  It was greatly encouraging to have our usual team joined by others who came from various churches and areas.  Between 1 and 3pm, around 900 Gospel tracts were distributed, as were many booklets, DVD's, and Gospels.  For most of the team, there was a continual flow of conversations.  

  Eli was a young man who approached the literature table and listened very intently to the Gospel message that was presented to him.  He was honest in answering the questions and in seeing his need of Christ, but he was taken through the Good News five or six times before he could understand that it was not by being a better person, or by having an impersonal faith that he could be saved.  He finally realized he must personally trust that Jesus died for his sins, and then turn from his sin in repentance.  He said it was something he wanted to do as soon as possible, and he promised to think about it very seriously.  He took a Gospel of John and a tract.

  Several groups of young people went through the Good Person flipchart throughout the course of the afternoon.  One young man had many questions, but his main objection was that there was no way to prove the historical claims of Christ.  After a conversation filled with historical facts, examples, and illustrations, he left to seriously consider what he had heard.

  A woman approached the Good Person flipchart with her husband and daughter.  While her husband and daughter quickly lost interest, she remained intently focused for the entire time.  Over and over her husband urged her to come away, but she insisted on staying to hear us out.  She was honest in her answers, and quickly came to realize her own sinfulness.  When she left, she was visibly moved by the Gospel.

  Another trio approached the literature table, and while the somewhat intoxicated young man and his girlfriend laughed and asked questions, it became apparent that their friend was paying attention.  What was amazing was that, although they had to leave halfway through the Gospel message, they promised to return, and five minutes later, they did!  At the conclusion of the Gospel presentation, the two wandered off, but again their friend stayed to talk a few more minutes.  She said this was definitely something she would think about.  Pray that all three young people would deeply consider what they have heard, read the Bibles they have taken, and act on the message they have received.

  Dylan, a young man from Spain, also asked for a Bible.  He thought he was good enough to go to heaven.  When questioned further, he appeared to have a work-based ideology.  He had been christened in a Catholic background, and felt secure that he was on his way to heaven.  He was given the complete Gospel message, his need of faith and repentance, and he seemed to understand.  We pray now that the Holy Spirit will move in his life.

  Please pray also for 12 year-old Georgia, who heard the good news of the Gospel.  She needed no convincing to realize that she wasn’t a good person, and she certainly seemed to grasp her need of a Saviour.  She appeared extremely serious, and close to tears, but while it would have been great to continue talking with her, a sudden crowd of other youngsters arriving caused her to wander back to her family.  May she read the literature that she took, and continue to think deeply about her eternal destination.

  Kye, Thalia, and Jamie engaged in conversation with another team member and heard the Gospel.  Please pray for them to keep their commitment to read through the Scriptures which they took.  Pray that the seeds which have been planted would grow, and not be choked out by the mockery of friends and the things of this world.

  One lady came and asked for a Bible.  She said she was a Lutheran, but that she hadn’t been baptised.  She was told that there was nothing she could do to earn her salvation, neither works nor baptism could save, but that salvation was by faith alone in Christ alone.  This was a message she seemed to grasp, and she went away to consider it and read the Bible.

  Pray for results from those whose lives were touched by the Gospel, whether by tracts, Bibles, or open conversation.  Pray too for fruit to spring even from the little seeds which were sown, the children who took tracts or asked simple questions.  Pray for those who realised their own mortality and sin.  Pray for those who took the Scriptures.  May the Word of God act in their lives, and may souls be saved by God’s grace triumphing through our outreach at Bribie Island.
