Tonight was my second night in the
bars.
It was different than the first.
Instead of feeling hesitant and afraid, I was excited. I know Jesus.
They need to know Jesus, so let’s go and do something about that. I’m
not sure when exactly the switch occured- I think Bill Johnson had
something to do with it, and worship and intercession. Regardless, I
was ready. I was excited.
We’re on Bangla Rd for less then a
minute before an English guy comes up with a flyer. “How about a
normal party with normal people?” he says. “No thanks.” I say
with a smile. “Do you love Jesus?” He asks. “Yeah, actually I
do.” He laughs and walks away. Brandy asks: “I wonder what gave
it away?” We look at eachother’s clothes and laugh.
Robin playing Jenga. I don’t have a camera, so I have to steal her pictures.
While playing, I invited Rung to SHE, along with her friend Pla and a couple of the other girls.Several people seemed interested about SHE. Fingers crossed, prayers in our hearts that they’ll come tomorrow.
Time to go.
On our way out of Bangla Road, I find English guy and ask “How
did you know?”
“Lucky guess,” he says.
I look across the street at my team. They are laughing and smiling. One of the girls is talking to a child. We do stick out here. Amongst the old men and young thai girls, the bloodshot eyes, and the broken promises… my teammates seem to be glowing.
I always say “the darker a place is, the more light shines,” and I realized that I’m actually seeing it.
I turn to my new friend and say, “Welp. Gotta go join other Jesus lovers. See you later I hope.”
“Yeah. Later.” He says with a smile. I join my team, and begin to sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…” and laugh at how great my life is.
