For many of you who went on mission trips several times already, it might sound silly. But, for me, a lot of nervousness, fear and awkwardness on one side, and a lot of excitement and heart felt need to share Christ with others on the otherside are taking over me on this mission trip. I feel like I could use Prayers more than anyother time in my life right now.
Not long ago, just 5 years ago, I remember arguing against Christianity and defending Hinduism with believers at the Christ Community Church. And, at that time, I never thought that, in 5 years, I would not only accept Jesus Christ as the only way to God, but also establish an every growing relationship with Him deep enough to follow Him back home to bring others to Him.
Things that I want to get done before I leave are:
1. Recollecting all my memory verses that I memorized before in sharing Gospel.
2. Practicing Bridge illustration, Four Spiritual Laws, Gospel Tracks, and Selorium Cards techniques in initiating spiritual conversations. Also, may hit the campus for random evangelism a few times again with those.
3. Preparing a 3 minute Testimony again and practicing it over and over.
4. Spending more and more time in Prayers and in daily Devotional Quite Times with God.
It is nice that I and Autumn started a Bible study on Experiencing God with students on campus and also I got to be part of a deeper study on the Book of Isaiah with a couple of guys from our Church as it is helping me to tune myself to God and to be sensitive to any calls and prompings by the Holy Spirit.
Your sincerity in the faith is so refreshing, glad to be your friend, thanks to our Lord for blessing me with our friendship. I will be keeping you and Autumn in prayer, hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteNaveen, I'm so proud of how far you have come in your spiritual walk. I feel I take growing up in a Christian home for granted. Keep on meditating in the word. You have inspired me to start to memorize scripture not just for my own walk but to help me to witness to others.
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal. Autumn and all her friends, including you, are the ones who modeled for me in Christ. All you guys rock in your individual relationships with Christ. Memorizing scripture is such an awesome thing even though I still struggle with it and don't do enough yet.
