Battle Log

On Sunday, by God's amazing faithfulness we have started Practical Training Outreach. God has sent total 10 Labourers on this day to learn and be equipped better for preaching this glorious gospel. We had 2 sessions, the first session was with Niki & Mark who were very passionate about preaching the gospel and they were already familiar with Law & the Gospel method so after short introduction and sharing briefly about how outreach is done we went out to the Bourke st to preach the gospel !. Please refer to Niki & Mark's report for the conversation that we had. 

From Niki & Mark :- 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his commitment to evangelism and giving us “on site” training. One of our most interesting conversations was with Naphtali and Nathan - a couple Jamaican Rastafarians. Due to their religion having Judeo-Christian foundations, they were quite knowledgeable about some parts of the Old Testament. They were engaged and asked thoughtful questions, although seemed to have no view on the afterlife. We used the Coronavirus, as a way to explain that our sin contaminates us, so we cannot be in God’s presence and that is why we need Jesus to de-contaminate us with the washing of his blood. We gave them tracts and pray they receive Jesus. Niki & Mark
