God Is At Work

Well, tonight Ab, Mairina (translator) and myself hit the streets in Z9. First we met with Laura, a businness owner. After speaking with her, she said a study would be good to do in her home, but she wanted her husband to do it with her. I gave her my number and she said that she would call in the next few days. Off we went to an area where we had completed three studies with four twelve year old girls last week...we spoke to an older lady (not interested) and a young man. We shared Jesus with him, but he said he was too busy to do any studies. We walked about four blocks or so when we passed a young man sitting on a metal pipe comming out of the ground. As we walked by he said "Hi" (very clear in English). We stopped, Mariana said we need to talk with him, so we walked back and began speaking with him. His name was Marko, and eighteen year old young man. After a few minutes we shared Jesus with him and let him read the scriptures from the Bible. He was interested in what the Bible had to say to say about eternal life. After we shared I ended with Acts 17:32-34 and ask him to identify the three groups Paul was talking about. Then I ask him, "Which of these three groups do you fit into?" He wanted to hear more about what the Bible had to say. We exchanged numbers, and I said we would talk about setting up a time to do study one at his convenience and on his turf.

As I have said in previous blogs, the Holy Spirit goes ahead of us, preparing the heart(s) of those he guides us to share Jesus with. It is evident to us that many of our church family is praying for us as we share in the streets of Galati...God bless you all!
