Wednesday - 16.40pm
Things feel like they're starting to go off here! There are so many reasons to be encouraged and praise God I'm not sure where to begin. One of the first things that come to mind is that Carrie and I as organisers are finding ourselves with time on our hands! The CU are all chipping in to help out and so everything that needs to be done gets done usually without us having to say anything. This means the we are more free to get involved with our own personal evangelism as well as our course work!
Last night Graham spoke on 'FREE to be honest' to a considerably smaller audience compared to the lunchbars, but these talks are aimed at people who are seeking in a much more meaningful way and the fact that 5 or 6 people heard the gospel explained clearly and personally from Mark's gospel is a reason to praise God. Please pray for the rest of the evening events, for those who come along and for Graham as he speaks.
Today's lunch bar was on 'Heaven: isn't trying my best enough to get me there?' Graham spoke very clearly and challenged people about their perceptions of what happens when we die. The questions were much more genuine from people who seemed to be truth seeking rather than arguing and conversations lasted well into the afternoon. Praise God for answered prayer! It has also been deeply encouraging to hear of people who have been meeting up with their friends and new acquaintances to discuss the talks afterwards. This is the epitome of what these events are designed to lead to so praise the Lord that that is what is happening!
I (Nathan) also had some encouraging chat with some of my hockey team mates after the match today (6-2 loss to York Uni 2nds - ouch!) and was able invite some of them to the Christians in Sport sports quiz tomorrow night - including one or two who I would have never thought would come! Please pray for the quiz that friends and team mates would come and hear the gospel. Also tomorrow night, CU members will be putting on 'dialogue dinners' which involve them inviting their friends for dinner and to hear a testimony or short talk. Please pray for those engaging in this more informal but still potentially scary evangelism and for the friends who come along.
