praise & pray for Ratish (GUJ) & Mousba (HYDRBD)

met Ratish @ the bus stop .. once again felt inadequate (how DUMB is that?! as if anyone is ..]
to share the gospel with him (he was only traveling to the next stop so couldn't get past small talk. found out like the other Gujaratis i met last month he was studying nursing!) .. do pray for him!
forgot [?] if i gave him a tract or not ...
- on the bus home was feeling tired, like most passengers looked .. left a million dollar tract on the seat beside me. nearing my stop Mousba came & sat beside me, we got talking .. i had to get off & told him the million $$$,$$$ note was for him .. :) .. should i have stayed on & talked him through the gospel?? i can't do a better job than His Spirit can through His Word!
not negating my responsibility to obey Mark 16:15, but i need to remember evangelism is very much a whole-
body-of-Christ- work, i.e. i sow a seed (eg give a gospel tract), somebody else waters the seed (eg elaborates on the gospel) & God gives the growth! (a soul ripe unto harvest)
:D even when we cant trust ourselves to work, we can trust His Word to do its' work!
:D we're part of the
whole body of Christ, no one of us is meant to do ALL the work, but as each member carries out its' role!
*PRAY*
* The Lamb of God who was slain would receive the reward for His sufferings in every precious lost soul caught up in deception
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power. for You created everything, and it is for your pleasure they exist and were created -
Revelation 4:11
*
God in His mercy would not let these precious souls waste their lives giving glory to anyone/anything else but save them so they might bring pleasure to Him!
*
have mercy on them, send them back 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
