those i met at conversation corner + English Group on Thursday . . .


:D PRAISE! :D
:D the encouraging lunch He gave me with David & Jims, with the added bonus of Katie joining us! [she's away on travels but came back to Brisbane just for a short time ..] :D  + Jin joined us too!
* bring JIn to satisfy the thrist of her soul in Jesus - i referred her to the story of Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4.
:D as we were talking about the bible after lunch, we noticed the girl (Cara) on the table next to us was also reading a bible. we invited her to join us & encouraged each other .. so wonderfully amazing how Father brings His children together! 
* grow Cara deeper in love with Jesus!
 :D bringing them here!- though things seemed a pretty slow-going at conversation corner, eventually i got into a conversation with Javir, who's bought into the lies of buddhism.
* may Father have mercy & set Javir's captive soul free, as well as all who've been deceived by the empty & false religions of the world!!!


:D letting me chat with Chiyoko on the way to Ashley's house - she'll be leaving soon :"( . . she's come to admire the kindness of Christians. not sure if she's had the Gospel clearly shared with her or not.
* may Father Appoint His kids to share the whole gospel with Chiyoko soon, so she'll return to Japan as His daughter, friend & abassador!  


:D Sandra's been going along to bible studies & asking good questions! :)
* may Father draw Sandra to The Way, Truth & Life = Jesus!!! :)

:D letting me chat with Sachiko over dinner - she's curious about Christianity - her brother & sister are Christians, she's asking great questions ... also leaving soon :"(
* may Father Appoint His kids to share the whole gospel with Sachiko soon, so she'll return to Japan as His daughter, friend & abassador!  

:D though it feels like i "performed" better in terms of good conversations, it was all by HIs grace - rejoice with me & give HIm all the glory!

:D my security, significance & self-worth doesn't depend on my performance or lack of it! X-D
- Elena claims to be a Christian, but not sure how deep that is.
* may Father grow her in the revelation of Christ!


"i'm not a complete Chistian" - Victor.
.. i think that was said from a religious standpoint, ie he hasn't "jumped through all the religious hoops to have earnt the title "Christian" :S
* God willing, give me opportunity to share with Victor how Father's given me freedom from religuous slavery into theglorious freedom of Relationship! X-D


:D letting me walk & talk with Victor & Sachiko on the way to my bus stop about the difference between religion (nobody needs it, it's complex, confusing, frustrating, leads to death) & Relationship (we were made for it, it's simple, clear, and brings life!)
[an increasingly common topic as i speak with the lost!)
 :D inspiring Ashley to write wonderful lessons on Communication, Culture & Christ each week!


*PRAY*


* give them a revelation of their Father in Heaven & bring them into relationship with Himself before it's too late~!!


* provide them with friendships / accomodation/jobs that will go towards this end :)


* work by His Spirit through all the 'English corners' globally to draw lost souls into Living, Personal Relationship with Himself! see www.yourenglishcorner.net/ - look for the World Free English Classes Timetable


* Nations would be impacted as they send their bright future leaders abroad to study English!


* have mercy on them & send them back to 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!


* provide more teachers/ helpers to reduce group sizes for better quality time with students!!


* anoint & empower Ashley to give these lessons to bring others to know Christ through Communication & Culture~!


* richly provide for Ashley & his family as they put these big dinners on every week [on top of an already-packed life!]!!


!!~thanks~! GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!!*** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS- BE ENCOURAGED!!***


.. i find more and more this is a very common conversation i have with the lost.
:D thank God for leading me so far in this God Journey to be free from religuous slavery into theglorious freedom of Relationship! X-D
