So every month the base picks an area of town to do evangelism in one night a week. This week s Perth City, which means about a 2 block area of downtown, where their mall/shopping area is.
Today was the most amazing evangelism I’ve ever experience. Way better than even any of the evangelism nights we did in LA. We went into the city, and started with a time of worship, basically the whole point of it was to show the city that church isn’t boring. So we sang a bunch of camp songs, the banana song, the funky chicken, it was great.
After we went out into the city, and were told to just pray and listen to whatever God told you to do. So some people ended up talking to the people sitting around the city, other people bought meals for people, stuff like that. I went out with 2 girls from my school, and we felt like God was telling us to just kneel and pray for the city. So we did. People stared, and took pictures of us, called us idiots. I’ve never felt so good about being called an idiot before, it was such a freeing feeling. It was so amazing to actually feel God come over the city.
Hey, we've been looking at the beatitudes in our Bible study, so this kind of reminds me of them. I'm sure you know it: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven..."
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, I'm glad you're having such a good time. I've never been on a missions trip or outreach or anything before. I hope to do that eventually. You rock! ^_^
