I felt a little overwhelmed today - the entire clinic for drug addicts, drop-in-centre and the lot. I felt so vulnerable, so naked and so.......I don't know. I felt exposed. A new respect for people who work where danger is began to surface. And a new understanding of God's heart is growing perhaps.
I felt a little awkward. Not knowing best how to act, how to begin conversations and many other how tos. And so that is when God can work - even when you forget to shoot a prayer asking for help! He just gave words and momentum kicked in. Judy and I spoke to 2 uncles, and I gathered all the Cantonese, Hokkien and Mandarin I know and conversed with them! We prayed for the first uncle, and Judy and I shared the gospel with the 2nd uncle in Hokkien! Praise God for words that came!
The 2nd uncle received Jesus into his heart. We need to look for a Chinese Bible for him actually. He was very open - I want to have more conversations with him actually, so that I know for sure he knows what he did. They both just needed to have people come chat with them - they are homeless men, deserted by their families and also by choice.
That was an eye opener, a heart surgery and a thrust to a different area for me. It was an awesome day. More to come.
Next....sharing my testimony with the people at the centre about...time management! Yay!
