Today the OP513 team met in Romford.  I was joined by Josh Williamson, Rob Hughes, James Ntensibe and Chuck Bosio.  Myself, Josh, Rob and Chuck preached at differing times, one of the wonderful things about preaching the Gospel here, is that we can use amplification!  Lots of tracts went out and we proclaimed Gods truths as bold and as accurately as we could.  Rob had a very good conversation with a young man who was sitting on a public bench.  I preached from Matthew 19 concerning the definition of marriage as it is undergoing a lot of revision in the House of Lords here in the UK.  Overall it was a great afternoon of preaching the Goodnews!! SDG.

On Saturday night, one person we chatted called himself a Satanist, and just believed in living his life the way he wanted.

See the following video battle log report from the night:

To God be the glory!

On Saturday night, one lady raised the objection that God would be unjust to send people to Hell. But the problem with that objection is that, by what standard is it unjust? Your own personal opinion about what is just and unjust? How does that have any bearing upon God?

To the One is who is like no other!

Wow, did I just hear that? The leader of the Brisbane atheists group makes a very clear statement endorsing the Christian Bible and encourages everyone to read it. Watch how it all took place.

"The Brisbane Atheists also endorse the Christian Bible" Evangelism - 25 May 2013

To the one who never changes!

This Friday, one young lady was presented with the choice of forgiveness through Christ or doing what her boyfriend wants, and that is to reject Christ. Listen to how the conversation panned out.

To the one who made the world and everything in it!

The Bible says everyone already knows that God exists (Romans 1), but people have sadly deceived themselves by denying him. Listen to this clip from Saturday night's outreach of how someone rejects his atheism and comes back to the realisation that God exists.

To the one whom every knee will bow!

To be the glory for another great evening sharing the gospel. Take a listen in the video report below to a very interesting encounter I had with a guy named Mitch. He spoke about how he had no idea how to have his sins forgiven.

For the glory of the Lord!

It was another encouraging night in Brisbane. As you'll see in the video below, Kevin was overjoyed to see God work in one lady's heart. All praise be to God!

To the one who is always faithful!

People bring up all sorts of reasons why they think God should let them into Heaven. This Friday night one lady thought that because she had not sinned since January, she deserved to go to Heaven.

Hear more about it below in the following short video:

To the Lord of all!

For the next 11 days I will be in Glasgow, Scotland, joining up with Jeremiah Cry Ministries — a ministry from the States. We will be sharing the gospel through open-air preaching and one-to-one witnessing. 

The picture to the left sums up my first day. Our team was small in size but more have now arrived. All four of us preached yesterday, with some of us preaching twice. The Lord used brother Paul to bring in a large crowd with many hecklers; he preached for at least an hour. I preached after him with more hecklers, and then we got into some great one-to-ones. It was quite incredible to see the absurdity behind their arguments. But towards the end there were a few who really did begin to see how their worldview does not hold wait, and that what they believe fails to make sense of this world. This opened the door for the gospel!

During one particular conversation I spoke with a relativist about truth. I asked him to define it. The following is not made up: 

Relativist chap: “Truth is what we come to learn over time. We once believed the world was flat, now we know the world is round.”

Rob: “Right. So before we came to see that the world is round, was the world round?” 

Relativist chap: “No.”

Wow!!

Here's the thing: even if we didn't exist, truth would still exist. And it's absolute. Truth is that which conforms to the mind of God (see John 17:17). So why does the fool embrace absurdity? Because he has a worldview to protect? We must expose in the unbeliever his suppression of the truth (see Romans 1:18-22). 

Although it was still only the first day, we did have an encounter with the Police. They were very friendly and cordial, but did warn us against unrest from people who may disagree with the Christian message (we discovered that later in the day, but we praise God that His Word went forth). Some people had apparently complained as we were preaching, and so they came to tell us that we ought to be careful what we say. We defended our right to speak and to share the gospel and they did agree to that. They also took our details and and asked us about the mission, i.e. where we would be and what we would be doing. The reason for this was not to stop us, but rather to let their colleagues know about us and what we would be doing. 

Do pray for the team:

1. Please pray the Lord would give the team boldness, wisdom, patience, understanding and a deep love for the people. 

2. Please pray that it would please the Lord to grant us favour with the authorities, as well as protection on the street. 

3. Please pray the Lord would bind the team together, that there would be unity, and that He would protect us from the devil's schemes. 

4. Please pray that God would raise up other Christians who would build upon the foundation that is laid through our witness. 

5. Please pray that God's Word would do a mighty and powerful work in those who listen; that they would be saved.

Soli Deo Gloria!
