The team is making lots of friends. That’s so important in this culture. We don’t share the Good News through a pulpit or by handing out a tract. The Gospel is shared through relationships. Any other manner could result in our deportation.
Last night, Ryan was invited to join a group of guitarist at the sports centers for a “jam” session. A couple of students escorted his there. Upon arriving, Ryan found himself with about 8 other guitarists. Ryan had his acoustic and they had their screaming electrics. On the surface, it looked like a match made for disaster. That’s where you and your partnership – prayers – come in.
These guys played heavy metal then Ryan played worship music. These guys let their guitars raise the roof. Ryan let his music raise praise to the Father. Little did these guys realize that they would be a part of worship. Ryan shared Jesus through music and the Spirit of the Father that lives through him. We for more opportunities.
Our other team members are beginning to have numerous encounters and engagements that are not a part of our regular schedule. The Father is giving us so many opportunities that I’m having to try to juggle our “tour group/exchange” commitments. Please pray that these engagements might bring forth fruit.
I have renewed several friendships from my previous visit. At lunch today, one of the unbelieving faculty members asked me to return thanks for the meal. It was tremendous. There were other members of the university staff joining us. Please pray for follow up opportunities.
This afternoon we take our first martial arts class. Ha! Pray that we don’t hurt anything
This afternoon, I also meet with the University President. Pray for a good meeting. This meeting will open up more doors for the Father.
Thank you for your partnership!
PS. Our food is getting more exotic. Please pray for good health!
