Not much time left





Let me just give some highlights from the last week. If you remember I had an opportunity to share the gospel with a guy that I met on the beach. Well, I met with him to give him a bible and when I did he brought with him a friend from work. His friend could not speak English but was very interested in Christianity and discussing things from the bible. We ended up talking for a while in a cafe. I was able to give the gospel to both of them and he translated a lot for both of us with questions from his friend and than my answers to the questions. I was able to give him a bible so I praise God for that. I hope to meet with him one or two more times in the next few days before we leave. So, pray that God would open up another opportunity to get to speak with both of these men. Pray that he will read the bible that I gave him and pray that God would open up his eyes to the truth of the gospel.

Another great opportunity was earlier this week I was sitting in my classroom waiting for my students to come and I was asking God to give me an opportunity to share the gospel with the students that I had not been able to share the gospel with yet. Well God already had the plans at work, because the only two students that showed up that day, because the others were traveling for the day, were the ones that I had not been able to share the gospel with yet. So I decided since many of the students were absent that we would just kind of have a day of discussion. We talked about their government for a while and how everything worked and then they brought up the topic of religion and wanted to know my views so I gave it to them full force. Praise God that they were able to hear the gospel and that God gave me the words to speak.

Our time is short and running out. Pray that I would not waste time but use the time that I have left wisely for the glory of God.
