Week of Evangelism
This week we are having a concentrated effort of out-reach. Our main aim is to let people know that the church exists and to publicise our Christmas celebration. We did our first stand outside the metro stop this morning. It was FREEZING!!
We were selling books and Jesus videos and giving away calendars and invitations. I was surprized that we sold so much in 2 hours. 2 books and 5 Jesus videos! (It’s not a lot for a shop, I know…but our aim wasn’t really to sell things, that was just a way of being in the public place.) We didn’t have that many interesting conversations with people, mostly becuase it was so cold! What we did notice though was that almost everybody who stopped to look was black. It was plainly obvious that the black community was interested in things of a spiritual nature and the white people showed an arrogant distane or at best a complete ignorance of God.
Pray for us as we continue our stands and events this week. Pray for the softening of the white people’s hearts. Please pray for me too. Attacks, things going wrong…call it what you will…but I’ve been feeling pretty grumpy and easily annoyed these past few days.
Thank you!
