when i was still a pre-believer, i used to think that people who approach me to tell me the Good News are either nuts, after my money (donation) or just have nothing else better to do. wow, how i was wrong! for now i am not just honored to do it for the Lord, but excited as well. :)
tonight, my lifegroup (Jehovah Rapha 2 of Elohim Unit, Central Yahweh Subdistrict, Hope Church Singapore) are going out to Bukit Panjang and Fajar to do our first ever street evangelism. for me, i couldn't say this would be my first as i've brought people to my lifegroup couple of times in transit - one by train and another in the bus. the thought of inviting someone you don't know to come to your gathering is a little bit frightening especially if you're not used to rejection - oh yes, there'll be lots of 'em. but still, in my experience my first informal street evax was spontaneous and felt very much guided by the Holy Spirit. i was just moved inside to do it and i responded. i am actually glad it paid off - that first person i did it to became an active member of our lifegroup and church. :) the second i did responded negatively though and it did discouraged me a little at first. but after seeking the Lord, i realized that these trying times must come in order for me to serve Him more. and there are perfect timing for everything as well. it doesn't mean that person did not accept it that time that he will never will - i know because i've been on that boat before and look where i am now, declaring that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. :)
i am going to fast from rice and viand later at lunch (will only eat fruit and drink water) and delay eating dinner until the evax is over so i can concentrate at the task that God has put into my heart. guide me Holy Spirit to the people i need to reach out to and may they respond to seek you as well and be one step closer to being saved.
God bless our street evax tonight! :)
