Richard, Tom, and 17 others traveled about 2 ½ hours outside the city to a new location in the countryside. After lunch foreigners on the team were paired with Indian partners. Their assignment was to walk the streets in a mapped out area to engage in as many gospel conversations as possible.
Richard was paired with 2 translators. At the first house was a man struggling to find peace. He had a conflict with his neighbor. The 2 translators told of how JC had given them peace even among strife in their own lives. Next, the 3 visited a family of about six. They too admitted to wanting happeness and peace in their lives. Richard told the story of Jesus calming the wind and the waves. He explained peace only comes in the storm with G’s son in your life. They walked about a ½ mile and saw many M’s leaving a Mosque after prayers. An elderly M man stopped and talked with them. He opened up about having heart surgery when a pacemaker was implanted. The group told the story of the woman with 12 years blood issues to encourage him to trust in the Lord for his health needs. Their last conversation took place when talking with a grandmother who stood by the gate at her home. She spoke about love for neighbor, family, and friends. As they talked, Richard and the 2 translators started drawing a crowd of young people. So Richard told the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fish as a way to show how much JC loved and cared for all people.
At about 5:15 the skyes turned dark and the 3 some returned to their hotel for rest. Please pray as the big team goes out again tomorrow.
