Hahas today is the day we go out to public for real life evangelism experience.. We can finally apply what we've learnt on the previous saturday which is a evangelism training. Yup. We used the Gospel tracks that was bought on the wednesday at SKS for this beach evangelism at East Coast. We distributed the tracks to people we met and we try our best to spread the Gospel to them. We were expected to meet at 10.15am in the morning and there will be a catered bus to fetch us to East Coast.
We had debrief and methods taught to us regarding the evangelism today. Then we were spilted into groups of two's to three's. We were instructed that boys can only spread to guys and girls to girls.. Lastly, Gideon led us in a prayer and we head off towards East Coast. When we reached there, we were given a bag of tracks to every groups. Then we went off for evangelism.. I was very nervous and don't know how should i approach the people there. I was teamed up with Nathaniel and a guy called Bryan. The three of us went around trying to approach them but we lack of courage so we often missed our "Targets", sianz... We walked and walked. Finally, Nat saw this elderly man sitting by the beach and he told me if i can speak Chinese fluently. I must admit that my chinese is definitely better than my english, so we went up to him and approach him. The elderly man listened to us attentively and we introduced ourselves to him first. Then we offered him a track and he accepted it. Hopefully he can really read it and to accept Christ as his personal savior. After which, we went to several passerby and approached them to spread the Gospel. That's when Nat suggested that we must reached a target before we go for lunch. We were supposed to approach ten of the public as our targets. Then we went around trying to engage in people that we saw and when we did not realize where we're walking, we blindly walked towards Macdonald and we just went in for lunch. After our lunch, we continued our mission, giving tracks and walking back to our meeting area. We were asked to return back to a pavillion where we started spreading the Gospel. So after our lunchtime, our evangelism is coming to an end. Therefore we decided that we slowly head back to the pavillion. When we reached back to the pavillion, we take a rest before the conclusion briefing starts. Some of us take a rest at the bench while some of us play monkey with a volleyball. Then finally in the end we had a sharing session and we try to voice out our opinion for today's beach evangelism. We told them our problems and difficulties faced when we approach the public. In the end we do a "pop-corn" style praying, whoever wants to pray can pray after the one before him finished praying. It's a very good learning experience to me personally, and i felt that today's event greatly help me to boost my courage to really benefit me in my evangelism in the future. And i'm sure today's event also helped all of us to know that this is how a evangelism and spreading the Gospel feels like. U will surely feel great if someone that you spread to eventually accepted Christ. That feeling is unable to describe through words. Praise the Lord!!!
