South-East England (UK) Team

After a long hiatus, the Essex OP513 group met up in Romford to preach the Gospel.  I was joined by Chuck and Jacob and we found a suitable spot and prayed.  I preached from Mark 7 and a few pedestrians stopped and listened. This led into conversations with Chuck and Jacob.

 

Chuck spent a while chatting with this Muslim man who said he was looking for the truth...  

Jacob was chatting with various people as he handed out Gospel tracts.

Chuck preached after me, during which a few other local Christians turned up and joined us in evangelism.  

The day ended well with the Gospel proclaimed in Romford!!  SDG

An encouraging outreach at Woodridge today.

Three weeks ago, one of the team spoke to a young lady named Demmi. She initially refused a tract and said she was Buddhist. By the end of the conversation she was questioning Buddhism but said she couldn't become a Christian because her Dad said that that is not allowed. So she was going to count the cost.

Today, she returned saying she has left Buddhism and is now a Christian, and so is her Dad! Her Dad is now trying to evangelise to his sister. Praise God for all that He does!

It is always a joy and a privilege to share the gospel, and doing so at the Gold Coast last night was no exception.

As we were walking back to the car, a young guy who I handed a tract to said "You have spoken to me before." So I asked whether he has been thinking about what I said.

He responded by saying he is now converted, trusting only in Jesus for his forgiveness and is fighting against his sin. He has been praying daily and attending a local church. But he didn't have a Bible, so I was able to give him one and encouraged him to start reading it daily.

He was very thankful to receive one. His name is Liam. Please pray for him.

Praise God for saving a people for His name!

Riverfire is one of the busiest night of the year in Brisbane where thousands flock to the city to watch fireworks. Operation 513 provided all the gospel tracts for free to be handed out at the event. We can only do this thanks to generous supporters of this ministry.

All praise be to God!

People will go to great lengths to conjure up arguments against the God they know exists. This Saturday night was a prime example of that, with someone claiming that because she doesn't have a footprint of Jesus therefore He didn't exist.

To God be the glory!

"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few" was especially evident on Saturday night in Brisbane city. We had a very low number of team members and yet God brought in lots of people to hear the preaching.

To God be the glory!

Another glorious night of sharing the gospel in Brisbane city.

We've seen in the Bible how God spoke through a donkey, now we've seen God speak through an Atheist. Watch the following video from the night:

Here is another video from the outreach, where Balazs recounts a conversation he had with two young ladies:

---

Listen how God brought along some encouragement for a Christian sharing their faith after dealing with a bunch of Atheists going off their nut.

May the following video from the night encourage and challenge you to go and share your faith.

To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

It sure was an interesting evening tonight with lots of people trying to stop the gospel going out, but it simply drew in a larger crowd. Watch an evolutionist support his belief in evolution, see a universalist argue against Scripture, but ultimately rejoice because Christ is proclaimed!

Watch the following 4 and a half minute entertaining video report from the night.

All glory to God!

It was only Steven and myself this past Friday evening, but we had a great night, with some wonderful opportunities!

Steven shared the gospel with a group of young lads (pictured to the right), with a young Muslim in particular who listened intently. My first conversation was with a chap named Bernard. He's from India but grew up in a Roman Catholic family. He told me that his current position is that of an agnostic. So we spent some time talking about the Bible and how we can know that it is true. I love these discussions because I know that I can show people that the Bible must be true, indeed is true, because if it were not true all of life is reduced to absurdity. It gives me so much confidence in my witness knowing that there is not one objection that any person can bring that can cast doubt upon the truthfulness of God's Word.

Bernard listened well as I showed how we can know that the Bible must be true. It is true because of the impossibility of the contrary. When the Bible is removed from the equation, all of life is reduced to absurdity. And the reason for this is because the Bible provides a basis — on a moral level, when we speak about logic, the uniformity of nature (which is the bedrock of science), and even truth itself. We spoke about a few of these, particularly morality. I told him that every single day, people make moral judgments by appealing to moral absolutes. Indeed, it would be impossible to make a moral judgment without appealing to moral absolutes — moral laws that are true for all people at all times. However, without God, how do we account for the existence of these moral absolutes? The answer is simple: we can't. Without God, we simply cannot make sense of this world. So why is it then that people deny God? The Bible tells us that man suppresses the truth he knows, in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18), because he loves his sin (John 3:19). That is the ultimate reason. Therefore, God commands us to repent and trust in Jesus — the Son of God who lived the life that we can't live, to be who we cannot be, holy and acceptable in God's sight, and who died on a cross paying the penalty for our sins, was buried, but rose again on the third day, proving once and for all that sin and death had been defeated!

It was great to share all of this with him. And he listened well. He had a lot to think about as we concluded. We swopped contact details and he even asked me to send him something he can read or perhaps watch. I have since sent him a video by Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church in the U.S., which I think he made find helpful. Please pray for him and and please pray that we can continue to correspond or maybe meet up. Here's the video I sent: http://youtu.be/tBP1f92fezs

I had another conversation with two chaps, one who said he was a Christian and the other who said he was not sure. But he wanted to hear what I had to say so I had a great opportunity to share the gospel with him. Here is the audio from the conversation: http://bit.ly/1kahmI5. It was great! He also gave me his contact details and I emailed him on Saturday. Here is the email I sent him: http://bit.ly/1yWzjNg. This morning I received an email from him with these words:

hey
Thanks for checking out my website, mate that was a great message you shared with us. i have decided repent today and entrust your life to Jesus. What church do you go to i would like to attend sometime.

regards 
jay

So encouraging!! I wrote back:

Hey Jay,

 

Dude, that's fantastic!! Very cool mate. Praise God! 

 

Hey, it might be good to meet up some time just to chat and wotnot. Free anytime next week? 

 

My church is in Tooting, South West London. But that may be a bit far for you to travel, so we could see if there's a church closer to where you're at. Where you based mate? But hey, don't get me wrong, I'd love for you to come along to us one Sunday. I'm just thinking of traveling and stuff. 

 

Take care!

 

Rob 

 

Please do be in prayer for him! 

 

Soli Deo Gloria!
