It turns out that the Chinese New Year Parade coincided with our regular Sunday afternoon outreach.

There was a momentary opportunity for handing out lots of tracts! But once the parade passed, the crowds drifted off with it.

The team of 5, from 3 churches, still had plenty of opportunity for gospel conversations, before and after the parade passed through.

There were many Christians out and about. One conversation was with a Christian guy from Finland struggling with how it was fair for God to send people who haven't heard the gospel to hell.

By looking at Romans 1 and 2, I showed how everyone knows that God exists through creation, and how we all know we have done wrong by our conscience. Everyone will be without excuse on judgment day, and God would be completely just in sending everyone to hell.

But by His amazing grace, through the precious blood of Jesus, He has made a way for all, who hear the gospel and trust Jesus as Lord, to be saved.

This is why there is urgency to share the gospel!

The guy from Finland seemed to appreciate the conversation, even looking up verses on a Bible on his phone in his own language.

May we all be encouraged to make the most of our opportunities to share this precious gospel message with all that we can reach!
