Kangaroos… Koalas…
Downtown Perth
For instance; when someone told me today that I should yell my testimony to a crowded outdoor mall. If you know me at all, you know that I am not particularly loud and speaking in public is definitely not my favorite thing to do. Leading worship is different. But we weren't singing. I was being asked to speak, no, yell in front of all those people. Yell a summary of things about myself that few people on my squad even know yet. The argument to get me to do it was very good. And if I had said no it would have been for no other reason than that I was scared and it might be embarrassing. But what if that testimony about what was, what changed, and what is now was the only one that someone in that square ever heard? What if they were struggling with the same thing and had never been told that there is hope? What if to obtain that hope someone just simply had to yell in a public place and make it known? In all reality I spoke for maybe fifteen seconds, and it was pretty terrifying in the moment… but I said it. I spoke it out. And it then made a bridge for a friend and I to speak to two young Muslim men for over an hour about what we believe.
It was an interesting afternoon in Perth City
Please continue to pray for the whole squad as we make our way out of Australia this weekend and head to Vietnam for month two debrief and then on to our ministry sites.
Thank you!
