A Bad Week

2012 October 31 (5)

Exhortation

Yup, you guessed it. It's Witness Wednesday at Markville! Be there at 6PM to share the gospel.

Some of you might have heard the message at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region, namely Rom 2:12 "For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law." That means no one will be innocent, everyone will be guilty as charged on that final day. The real question is: What are you doing about it NOW, especially for those around you?

What's God telling you to do? Is it prayer? Then get on your knees. Is it to come out tonight? Then call me and we'll love on our neighbors together. But please, don't do nothing.

Testimony

Met this devout Muslim guy called Zain and had a 45 mins conversation with him about God, Allah, Jesus, the Selat, and assurance of salvation (why I have it and why he doesn't). Praise God for opening doors for the gospel! I invited him to church too and he was actually very open to it! I pray that I'll see him on Sunday.

A New Method

2012 October 24 (4)

Exhortation

It's Witness Wednesday at Markville! Once again, I'm sharing the gospel at the mall at around 6PM.

Romans 2:9 "There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil"

Church family at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region, we must let our neighbors know that there is hope! Yes, tribulation will come but Jesus Christ has already come! Please participate by praying, our battles are fought and won on bended knees!

Testimony

Great testimony from tonight:

This time when I went, I prayed for God to give me love for these people. Instead of going because of obedience, I wanted to see them how Jesus sees them. The Holy Spirit told me to just sit down with many people and say "Tell me your story." People just talked to me. This one guy asked me, "So what's your story?" I shared my testimony, about the truth of the gospel and the standard for Heaven. I shared the reality of sin and how God is ready to forgive.

Check this: This guy Alex was waiting for his friend Toni and for some reason she ditched him last minute. He sat there not knowing what to do until I showed up. I told him this was no coincidence and that God was calling out to him. As we kept talking (for 45 mins), I asked him what was stopping him from trusting in Christ. He said "Nothing!" Now he knew the commitment this would be, so he was still hesitant. But hopefully as we talk God will break him.

See, he asked for my number! He wanted to talk more! Usually it's me who does the number asking. Hah! God is tugging at him even right now. He is so close to being a new brother I can feel it! Pray for him! Thanks to all who prayed for me. God did an amazing work tonight and all you who prayed were part of it.

Harvest Bible Chapel York Region and church family everywhere, I can't do this without you. Glory to Jesus!

Third Time's the Charm

2012 October 16 (3)

Exhortation

Christians at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region, we heard this past Sunday from Romans 1 that "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men" (v18) and how "God gave them up" (v24) to all these things. We also know how they will be "receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error" (v27).

This penalty is the very same thing that Christ bled for! And these people are the very people that He died for! Let us tell them the good news, let us share this gospel which we have, how can we hide it?

Join Jason Lock and me (in prayer or in person) as we go to Markville this Wednesday at 6PM to share the gospel. Call/Text if you are coming.

Testimony

Using many top ten lists, I asked people if they knew the top 10 highest grossing film, most populated cities... and the 10 commandments.

Lesson #1: Most people just don't want to be bothered.

Lesson #2: The ten commandments makes a more interesting conversation than the top ten movies. Talking about Exodus 20 naturally led to how everyone's a law breaker before a righteous God, which naturally led to how we all desperately need a saviour, who is Jesus Christ. Praise God for the conversation I had with this guy Jones, whom I talked with for a while, expounding on the gospel. At the end, he even asked me to add him on Facebook. Pray for more conversation!

Lesson #3: Facebook is an awesome evangelistic tool.

Second Time

2012 October 10 (2)

Exhortation

‎"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" - Rom 1:16

Church family (Harvest Bible Chapel York Region and others), are you proud of the gospel of Jesus Christ? If so, join me around 6PM tonight at Markville Mall to preach it in this evangelistic effort. Come "eager to preach the gospel" (v15). If you are unable to come, mention me in your prayers without ceasing (v9), so that the power of God may be unleashed through me tonight, that souls may be saved.

Call/text me if you are coming.

Testimony

Apparently it's weird when a stranger approaches you when you're eating to talk about where you are spending eternity. Whatever.

One conversation stood out. The guy was so shy and so quiet that he responded only with one word answers to everything I asked. But he kept listening, so I kept talking and explaining the full gospel to him. Praise God for the opportunity to evangelize and for willing ears! Thank you to all who prayed.

The First One

2012 October 3 (1)

Exhortation

For we who call ourselves Christians, we are (like Paul in Rom 1:1) "set apart for the gospel of God".

I will be at Markville Mall (in Markham) tonight at 6PM for an hour or two, proclaiming this same gospel that we were set apart for. I'll be talking to random people in the food court about "his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 1:4).

Believer, join me if you are near the area, pray for me if you are far. Pray for them too, for our God is so near to us, yet so far from them. Text/Call me if you are coming.

Testimony

Though discouraging at first, God worked tonight. I've been so blessed in the past few months that I had forgotten what it feels like to be rejected time and time again, pushed away and glared at. Nevertheless, God honors faithfulness, not fruitfulness. Seeds were planted and it is only him who can make them grow.

Pray for Justin especially as I got to walk with him around the mall, sharing about where he will spend eternity and about the need of Jesus Christ on that fateful day. Live for eternity guys! There is no other life worth living for!
