Group assignment leads to sinner's prayer

Angela and I had a group assignment several weeks ago. We formed a group consisting of Angela, Liu Lu, and I. Then, a guy asked Angela whether he can join our group. We hesitated for a while but then we agreed to let him in. We all knew that we are doing 30 in 30, so during our group discussion, we gave him a tract. At the time, I didn’t expect that he would read it because he didn’t quite participate much in the assignment, and was too busy playing computer games. Surprisingly, several days ago, he told me on msn that he had read the tract and that he is very interested in it. He even told me that he wanted to believe. How wonderful! God really worked in his heart! So I seized on the chance to share the gospel to him. I asked him to call me on the phone so that I could explain it more clearly to him. He called me up and I told him the verse in the bible “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” I also shared that when I accepted Christ at the gospel rally I didn’t know much about the Bible but I still knew enough to believe. I told him that after you believe, the Holy Spirit will come into you and help you understand the Bible better. Thank God, he agreed to pray and receive Christ!

The way God does things is so wonderful! If there was no 30 in 30, I may not have shared the gospel to him. If we did the assignment at other time, I probably wouldn’t have given him the tract. It is amazing that God uses this activity to let more and more people know Him and receive Him. We also need to use this opportunity to remind ourselves to give out at least one tract everyday. We can do nothing on our own. We need to rely on God, and pray for wisdom and courage to give out the tracts. “ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." - Acts 1:8. Another verse is “ And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you." - 1 Corinthians 9:23

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."

- 1 Corinthians 15:58
