I used the flip chart to present the law and Gospel on Tuesday for the first time and it was very effective.

A young man named N seemed interested until his girlfriend pulled him away,  pray he will remember the Gospel message.
J a believer was appreciative to the reminder of the Gospel it was a joy to hear of her love for Jesus.

Another young man A responded well to the flip chart message seemed humble, he displayed appreciation towards Jesus taking the wrath of God upon himself to rescue sinners,  pray his love for Jesus will be deeper and he will have a a hunger for God's Word also if not already saved that he be saved.

J an older catholic man was taken through the law, he said he had never lied or stolen, looked with lust, and he said his anger was justified for different reasons. Pray for him to admit sin as he was proud in heart. He took a tract and I showed him the picture of Mr nice guy's face and explained we need to be humble to appreciate God's kindness to save sinners.

J & J were on a break from work, they both were paying good attention to the flip chart and answering the question with humble hearts J said he is a Christian Ja a good friend of J, excepted a booklet of John and said he will look into the salvation message and said he would ask J for help reading the Bible.

D a young truckie went from disbelief to being open enough to receive a God of wonders dvd about creation with Scriptures and teaching on salvation by good Godly teachers and said he would watch it and also said his mum would like it too he was thankful to receive it!!! He also took a Gospel tract.

Pray for S who has heard the message of salvation a few times and is open, she received a Bible a few weeks ago and has various tracts to read. Praise God for the help she has received from a local Christian Community Centre, she met with me after I finished the outreach and it was God's Hand that orchestrated all her needs as she is new to Warwick. Pray for her salvation and L her son.

Pray for the organisations that help needy people and that they will hear the Gospel in their work. It was great to work together in the advancement of God's Kingdom.

Was a great day and past 2 Tuesdays very fruitful. Thanks for praying also pray for others who have had tracts and seeds planted.

The team have had many wonderful conversations over the course of the 9 days in Myanmar. These have happened at the most unexpected times. As well as at times when they are hoping for them. God has placed us in many situations we didn't expect to be in.

Hear Harry praising God for a conversation with a woman who was reading a tract, under shelter in the pouring rain and how he went over to explain it to her.

Hear Glen share about overcoming his fear of airplane evangelism and how he was able to share the Gospel with a rich business man!

The conversations over this past week have very clearly been planned by God. This will continue to be the theme seen in other videos as there are many divine appointments that have and are occuring.

Hear Ryan share about a conversation he had with a Buddhist man who was selling melons, who came to trust in Jesus.

As the days have gone on there have been many encouraging stories coming back from the team members. It has been exciting to see all the people who are understanding the Gospel for the first time and declaring their desire to trust in Jesus.

Hear Lee-Anne share about a conversation she had with Deetpak, who was in that boat.

Oppositely, hear Andrew share about a conversation he had with a guy, who heard, understood but was not interested. 

Please continue praying for the team over the coming days, that God will continue to prepare before, conversations for the team, that will be the final step in someone coming to salvation!

You've heard it said that Christians are called to be fishers of men. In this instance you can hear of Andy being a fly-fisherman.

Andy had the chance to engage in conversation with a young man for the entirety of the two hour flight from Malaysia to Burma. During the conversation, forty five minutes were dedicated to the Gospel.

Praise God for using travel as a means for the Gospel going out!

Today was our biggest outreach day of the year. The Carnival of Flowers was on in full swing and as the crowds began to gather for the approaching parade we had two questions on our minds:

1. Would we have enough tracts?    2. Would there be enough laborers?

Thankfully God provided both in abundance. We had a record number of laborers volunteer for today. Jonno and Callum generously drove up all the way from Goondiwindi to join us for the big event. We also had another Jonno join us from Gatton, who patiently and determinedly navigated the slow-motion car park that is the Toowoomba Range on Carnival Day.

Keith and Kate also joined us from AFES ( https://www.afes.org.au/ ) and it wasn’t long before most of us headed out to share the message that had changed each one of our lives. Below are some of the conversations that were had:

-Merv had a good conversation about the Gospel with an open-minded young woman. It was only at the end of the discussion that she revealed she was a Satanist. This woman was by far the most polite and interested Satanist we’ve ever met in Toowoomba and was thankful for the conversation.

-“G" was a farmer who is also a former SDA. He was more than willing to chat but unfortunately did not want to go more than deeper than discussing abstract ideas about religion in an impersonal way.

-“A” who was a young French woman who one of our team had a good conversation with.

-“N” and “S” both had Catholic backgrounds but conversation sadly didn’t go very far. “E” was another person with whom conversation was limited.

-“L” was a Christian with whom we had a really good, mutually encouraging discussion.

By the time the Parade came around, we were able to share the Gospel with hundreds of people through the tracts handed out and we were even able to buy a local man lunch who had been sleeping rough recently. He was a recovering alcoholic who didn’t have any family in the area and we were able to share with him the names and locations of places where he could secure food and shelter.

Overall it was a fantastic day and the privilege of being able to share the Gospel with new friends and old made it memorable and enjoyable. Our prayer is that God will continue to move in our hearts and in the hearts of our community. Please join us in praying this prayer.

The Lord had some prepared to be challenged in various ways today. An Indian lass who works locally, read the tract thoroughly before we had a brief chat before her bus arrived. She was agreeing that God is perfect and we cannot meet His standard. I was able to introduce the substitutionary work of Jesus on behalf of His people but the rest is in the Lord's hand.  Thankfully He always has the final word.

      There were a few chats with people that other team members had met before. They seemed to be hardened to the point where I challenged them to seek out God in His word.

     There was a man passing by as he pushed his wheelie-walker and wanted to know what the tract was about. His face light up when he heard it was God's good news. Pray that those sitting would be stirred up as they saw his appreciation.

     A day for scattering seeds in some small way. 

When our great God does His work, who can foresee what the eternal ramifications will be. Thanks for the privilege of serving. To you alone is the glory and thank you for those who pray - not forgetting the team in Myanmar!
