Street Evangelism
Street Evangelism. Since September a new ministry has sprung up at school led by the new maths teacher, Tom. Every Saturday night students take a songtaew (truck/bus) to the night bazaar area to do street evangelism.
This started as a small party with Luke and three friends going with Tom, and now more than 50 students are involved every week. This has sparked the students’ enthusiasm for reaching out to the foreigners who are there looking for a bargain. Many are on more than a physical journey, searching for new meaning in their lives. The students give out hundreds of tracts every week, start conversations, and pray for people. Many tourists are open to hearing what the students have to say and willing to have the students pray for them right there in the street!
I have been there most weeks as Tom needs more and more adults to be available as so many students are keen to be involved.It is extremely encouraging.
Most students were nervous or unsure how to approach people at first but are now so excited to share and are becoming more confident every week. It is an amazing time; praise God that the doors are open wide!
