It was our first night of pub ministry, and we were fairly nervous. We weren't sure how the locals would react to a bunch of Christians wanting to chat about spiritual things. But as it turns out, God had totally prepared people for some big conversations. Talitha and I approached a woman sitting by herself in the pub, and told her where we were from and what we were trying to do on the coast. After a couple of minutes she was really intrigued and was sharing her view that there were lots of different paths to God. Then her husband came back and I think he was a little confused as to why a couple of strangers were chatting with his wife, but she encouraged him to share about his own Christian background, which he'd walked away from as a young man. We were able to share with them both the devastat- ing effect of separation from God, and how trusting in Jesus was the only way to have a relationship Him. Then their kids came by (all in the early teens), and the couple wanted us to chat with the kids about spiritual things. In the end we'd had a good chance to share the gospel in depth and challenge them to look more deep- ly into spiritual things. It was also really encouraging when they told us they'd really en- joyed our conversation (which had gone for over an hour). We're praying this is only the start of their spiritual journey!

Alex and I were partnered up ln Australia
day and hadn’t really done to much walk
up together so prayed God would pro-
vide us with a conversation. Immediately
after we prayed we saw two girls. We
went and sat with them and started to
chat. At first they weren’t really interest-
ed but as we went on and stated telling
here about the gospel with a book called
Knowing God Personally she started to
open up. She really related to the idea of
brokenness in the world and started
talking about the brokenness on the
coast and in her own life. She then start-
ed to talk about her cousin who had
been a drug addict and horrible person
then had become a Christian and how it
had changed her. She then told us that
Jesus was the answer to the worlds bro-
kenness and that she wanted to have a
relationship with God. She prayed to let
God into her life and we gave here a
bible.

Throughout these two weeks I have been
amazed at the number of times I have expe-
rienced Gods perfect timing come into play.
One night on pub evangelism with Gaz, I
saw someone I knew from school. I felt God
calling me to her straight away, and we
started a conversation with her and her
boyfriend which lasted the rest of the night.
We noticed throughout the night as spiritual
conversation came up how perfectly timed
God had planned this conversation in their
lives. I have become friends with her and we
have planned to meet back up in Sydney!
