Today was the first offical day of me doing full time street evangelism.
I arrived up in Brisbane city at 9am, and I was battling triedness, over witnessing. So I made myself give tracts to people on the train, and drop a few wallets about.
When I got into the city, I found that I was having a hard time witnessing, so I sat down and started praying.
While I was praying a TV camera crew came over and asked to interview me, about a champ car race that is being held next month. So I did the interview, and they asked what was the one thing I was looking forward to about the race, my reply was "The fact that will be alot of people standing around doing nothing"
He thought it was a great answer, somehow I think he had a different idea to what I was thinking about
After the interview, I went and did a few interviews with people sitting in the square, the first person I approached was a tourist from central Scotland. So I got to minister to her for about twenty minutes, she had a mormon background, but has left the church.
Then I made my way up to the mall area, as they had some race cars doing a race through the city as a publicity stunt, while waiting for the race to start I passed out around 100 millions, in about five minutes. I was hoping to open air, but there was no room, and alot of police.
After the race, I met up with Peter Shliahov, and we went across to King George Square where I open air preached. There was media in the square filming things about the race, and there was a few people sitting around talking.
So I started preaching, and a fair few people stopped to listen, it was only a short preach of about 12 minutes, but it made a few people angry
Then after preaching, and Christian buisness man came up to me, and thanked me for preaching in the square, and said that he would be back to see me do it again.
While speaking to him, another Christian street preacher came up to us, he is an old man of about 80, and he is still going strong on the street. We have worked with him in the past, but this time he was jumping around excited about another street preacher in the square, which he said was answered prayer.
He then told me about a weekly prayer meeting they have, praying for revival, which he invited me to next week, this meeting is made up of street preachers, and Christain buisness people.
Just after talking to this guy, Peter and Kevin went off to do some one 2 one filming, and then yet another Christian apporached me.
This guy is a baptist travelling evangelist, and he was very supportive of what we were doing, and he prayed for us, then he gave a financial donation to the ministry, by him doing that really ministered to me, it was like God saying 'Trust in me, and I will provide'.
We then broke off and went and did some one 2 one, I really felt I was to walk over to the punk section of the square, where all the satanists etc hang out.
So I got there walked into a fairly decent sized group, and ask to interview them, they all consented, and I got to witness to them for about 16 mins. Then one of the guys asked to speak to me on the side by himself. He was trying to justfy himself, but stated that he needed to be forgiven, I was able to give him a bible, and save yourself some pain!
PRAISE GOD!!
ALL THE GLORY TO THE KING!
