DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER THINGS

One of the enjoyable and refreshing activities of this trip is the conversations about life and scripture and God in informal small groups during our down times.  Praise God for the godly conversations of the saints sharing their lives, ideas and thoughts accompanied by laughter, prayer.

Last night’s meetings focused on how to answer Islam’s questions on the Trinity. This was primarily a meeting for Pastors and was well attended by mostly young Pastors from small churches. Suliman has put together a teaching package on answering the major objections of Islam and how to help their congregations share the Gospel. This is where my heart is regarding future ministry. To equip Pastors is to equip congregations to fulfill the Great Commission.

This morning we left at 7 for a two hour ride to Georgetown and hope to distribute the Jesus DVD packets to 5,000 homes. We distributed about 4,000 DVD's to some nice homes and some poorer areas of town.

Along the way I saw a Kingdom Hall, Christadelphian Hall, a  Later Day Saints (Mormon) church as well as Hindu temples and Mosques.  Here are two encounters I had today.

1) I walked to one home and noticed their empty trash can, a plastic blue 45 gallon barrel, and it  had an address on it which said from Brooklyn New York. I gave the father and his son a packet with the Jesus DVD and tracts. As I was doing the neighbors house the son called me back and said he could not watch the DVD because he was a Jehovah Witness. So we had a short chat about the possibility of his beliefs being wrong and his need to study the Bible to find the truth. By the way the Watchtower publishing offices are in Brooklyn New York and I found the JW Hall just around the corner from this house. Interesting!

2) I walked to another building with a sign “Guyana Business Prospects Programs. There was a woman leaning on the gate who saw us coming and said, “what kind of propaganda are you given out to corrupt our already depraved minds, or are you selling something to kill pests?” By that time I arrived at the gate and said, “here is something to kill your sin and show you the way to eternal life” She looked at the Jesus DVD and said, “this stuff can never help these people”. I said that along with prayer it could be of great help. She kept the DVD.

It is now four o’clock and we are driving home, tired, thirsty, sweaty and dirty but glad for a good day of distribution. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
