“We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first.” - Oswald J. Smith.

Thank the Lord for this thought-provoking quote from Oswald J. Smith to remind us to share the love of Christ to many who have not even yet heard of the name of Jesus Christ once. It has been a blessing and privilege to be God’s children to share His love to the many on the streets this night.

Thank God for bringing in Rei, Jeremy, Teresa, Abigail, Malcolm and Jessie to witness the power of God once again. Thank God for one profession of faith, one assurance of salvation and also for the many opportunities to be a blessing by smiling and talking to the people, giving out tracts and opportunities to share His word! Thank God for lessons learnt as we go about sharing His word. Praise the Lord for He never fails!

The Lord led Rei and Malcolm to three young men. Thank God for their willingness to hear them share. Thank God for even the time spent, though it may seem that they are distracted along the way, thank the Lord for opportunity to meet them, bridges built, tracts given and lessons learnt in how to sharpen the skill of sharing the Gospel the next time. It has been a blessing to meet them, thank the Lord for that!

The Lord directed their steps to a Bangladesh guy who heard the simple declaration of the Gospel by the both of them. Thank the Lord for placing this guy along their path to hear of His love, the Lord indeed is not willing for any to perish! Let’s pray for him to understand what is being shared and may the Lord save him in due time!

It was a divine appointment as Malcolm and Rei met this guy from Sabah who was in a Christian family but he converted to another religion later part of his life. The Lord was gracious and amazing as He convicts the heart of this guy from Saba, and he gladly accepted the Lord with clear understanding and simplicity! Praise the Lord for He is good, placing people along his path, and thank God for with a soul saved, heaven rejoices! Let’s pray that he will grow in the Lord and pray for open doors to come to our church! Praise the Lord!

Thank God for bringing Teresa and Abigail together to give out tracts to many people on the streets. The Lord then led them to a lady from China who is open to hearing the Gospel. Thank God for opportunity to declare the Gospel and for her in understanding the full Gospel. Let us pray for her to be willing to open up her heart to Christ and open doors to come to church as well! The Lord then led them to another lady who speaks mainly Mandarin and very ready to hear of His Word, but due to her friend, they left shortly after. Pray that the tract given will be a blessing and may she understand what is written, and the word of God will speak to her heart!

The Lord led Jeremy and Jessie to a guy who is waiting for his friend to come. It has been an encouraging opening of conversation and talking about the emptiness of humans. He is very open in hearing but had to leave when his friend came. May he read the tract and understand the need of a Savior! Thank God for opportunity to meet him and talk to him briefly.

Then the Lord directed their steps to a Filipino lady who is waiting for her friend. Praise the Lord for assuring her of her decision on salvation and for her friend who came later to hear of the gospel as well. Let us pray as bridges are built, it will bear forth more blessings to come in the near future! The lady commented, “It is so amazing to know about what it means to trust in Jesus Christ!” What an encouragement to all our hearts!

Thank the Lord for a great and wonderful night, with lessons learnt and one soul who trusted the Lord! Praise the Lord for opportunities to give out tracts as well! May Jesus Christ be glorified all the days of our life!

I Timothy 23 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
