for even to this were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps [1 Peter 2:21]

on the streets of perth
Barry, Vicks, Truc and I went for an impromptu street evangelism after lunch today. I have to say, it was a real blessing to have the opportunity to go out and do God's work with friends who have similar burdens. After Victor had a go at the Speaker's booth (more about it here or here), we had the opportunity to talk to one guy named Will for over an hour. We all had a go at talking to him but after a while, I felt that it wasn't going anywhere and decided that it was probably a waste of time to continue. But God bless the brothers for continuing to try because Will slowly lowered his guard and became more receptive, and started to listen more instead of talking.
We eventually got to share the full Gospel with him and God eventually led us to talk him through some of the questions he had in his mind. Thank God for giving us the wisdom to know what to chip in here and there.
I really thank God for today because I initially didn't really want to go, but went anyway (mostly because I had promised last week that I would definitely go this week). As usual, when an afternoon is spent for God, no regrets are felt. It feels really good to voluntarily go to the city and spend 'your' time for God (really, our time is God's). We will try to make an effort to go every Sunday - so feel free to join us.
