yesterday

Just wanted to post quickly about City Evangelism yesterday. First of all, I am really glad that I got over my intial I-don't-really-feel-like-going attitude - I prayed several times that day before we went 'for battle' and I really believe that God slowly helped me find the enthusiasm in my heart to go out there and just do it.

I was originally meant to go with Vanessa, with William observing, but it turned out that Truc was partner-less and ended up coming with us to form two groups of two. I ended up taking William around who was a first-timer (I love taking first-timers, it always reminds me of the first time I went for CE with Cherie - I was so scared and so excited at the same time!)...

We talked to one girl in particular from Germany named Merle, and it was her first day in Perth! She was really receptive when we shared the Gospel with her she was really receptive. I don't like to pressure people into a decision so after I had told her everything, I asked if she had any questions (she said no... I think she was a bit overwhelmed with the information overload that I had just dished out, but she DID tell us that she would definitely read the This Was Your Life gospel tract and will have a read of the Gospel of John), and then I pointed her toward the Sinner's prayer. I am hopeful that God will save her soon.

I also had the opportunity to talk to William a bit more and answer some of the burning questions he had been thinking about which was a pretty cool experience. He also ended up giving out some tracts which was encouraging to see too! So all in all it was another awesome afternoon spent for God.
