A great weekend sharing the Gospel

[1Tonne]

This weekend, a small group of us went to the local town’s agricultural market, where tons of people gather. We shared the Gospel and ended up talking to about 100 people—it was amazing!

A lot of people came away with a clearer understanding of the Gospel. One guy I talked to wasn’t interested at all. He said he’d heard it all before and didn’t want to hear more “religious stuff.” Just as he was about to walk away, I told him I could explain it in a way he’d never heard before, and it would actually make sense. He hesitated but decided to stay. By the end, I asked him if it was different from what he’d heard before and if it made sense. He said, “Well, I stuck around, didn’t I? You explained it in a way that made sense. I haven’t heard it like that before. Well done” Then he shook my hand, thanked me, and left.
There were a few others like him—people who didn’t want to listen at first but ended up staying and saying they had a new understanding. It was so exciting!

I also talked to a group of eight young adults, around 20 years old. They all listened so respectfully, which honestly surprised me because usually, in groups like that, at least one person will try to mess it up. But not this time. I could tell they were really hearing the truth in what I was saying.

One of the coolest parts was seeing someone in our group who had never done outreach before. They’ve only been a believer for 18 months, but it felt like they’d been following Jesus for years. They jumped right in and were amazing at sharing the Gospel.

Please pray for all these people we spoke to! It was such an exciting and encouraging experience.
