After the gospel + abortion outreach, which I wrote about here, we moved into Cathedral Square to preach in the open air.  There was loud music, and construction noise from the nearby convention center, but this did not stop two of the team preaching.  On this occasion, the hecklers were tame.

As we were moving to Cashel Mall, I stopped a young couple to ask them if they ever thought about what happens after they die.  They looked at me stunned, and then he said that they had only just been talking about it!  They were instantly engaged.  And I was able to go through the law and the gospel with them both.

In Cashel Mall, the wind became very noticeable, the buildings were forming a wind tunnel!  So we weren’t able to use the flip charts for the whole outreach, but before I packed mine away, I had a great conversation with two guys, one from Germany, and the other from England.  They were resistant, but they seemed genuinely challenged, and became engaged enough to want to hear the gospel.  As they walked away, I asked them another checking question, the English guy, with tongue in cheek, answered with “good works”... he knew that wasn’t the right answer - I was satisfied he understood the gospel!

The outreach ended up going long, with some late opportunities to share the gospel.  Jason had a long chat (pictured), and Andy & I got into a conversation with two Indian guys (also pictured).

As always, thank you for your prayer and support!
