I've learnt the joy of being a Christ's ambassador
Recently got to know Ai, a Thai who comes to Singapore to study. She is only 12 years old and her aunt is from Hope as well. Before her aunt went back to Bangkok, she kinda entrusted her to our care. She hopes that we will take care of her and to bring her to come to know Christ too.
Ai is not the typical Thai and 12 years old that I know. She can speak fluent English, reads widely and mature for her age. I've got to have lunch with her and wendy before metamorphosis concert. Took the opportunity to share with her the bridge diagram and my conversion testimony. At that point, I knew that she wasnt ready to receive Christ as she still had some unanswered questions. She told me about the Buddhist book she read and some questions she had.
Then last Sat, she came for Service again. This time, I prayed in my heart that she will come to know Christ. Half way through the teaching, as if sensing that I would ask her to receive Christ again, told me that her family are Buddhist and she want it that way. My heart kinda sank then, nevertheless, I encouraged her to listen to the message with a open heart. She didn’t raise her hand during the altar call and I felt so much compassion for her. I know that Christ is real and He loves her so so much. Prayed in my heart for God to touch her. Explained and clarified with her about God. And the moment came and my heart was beating fast.
"So do you want to receive Jesus as your leader, forgiver and friend?"
Pauses...
"Yes" she said.
I tell you at that point of time, I just feel like crying and shouting for joy.
When one sinner repent, the whole heaven rejoices :)
Who dare says that its a number game? Seriously nothing compares to this. Everything that I do or are doing, isnt it to reach out to people who have not heard the gospel? Isnt this what its about? Its really serves as a reminder for me. Outreach is NOT a chore, its compassion for people!
Use me Lord! Help me have the courage and use me as your mouth piece.
