Lady shows the tract that she received (Click to Enlarge)
The first happened when she was on the Bangkok underground trains (MRT) where she ran into a former Chulalongkorn University friend. He had become a Christian in recent years and after sharing the gospel, promised "Tonight, I will pray for you". That night, she was at her local gym or something and noticed someone she did not recognise. She had a strange urge to talk to this person and found out that they too believed in God. When asked which God did she believe in, the lady told her about Jesus Christ. The gave her a tract with the sinner's prayer on the back and explained how to become a Christian. Now, the lady was very surprised. Two people within one day telling her about this Jesus.
The next day, she was running late for work and for some reason prayed that she would be able to get to work on time. Straight away, a taxi stopped in front of her so she got in. The taxi driver driving her to work had just come back from Israel and also shared how he had become a Christian as well! So many people in Bangkok and yet, God would lead three of His believers to run into this lady within 24 hours. She was so moved by this that she sought out the pastor at Evangelical Church of Bangkok for some counselling and became a Christian!
Wow, what an encouraging testimony to hear during 30in30 and surely, God wanted this testimony to be shared with all of you as we are challenged to share the gospel more in our life! But that was not the most amazing thing...
After the Worship service, we met my cousin for lunch and as we were walking to the MRT, we shared with her the testimony that we heard in Church today, quietly hoping that maybe such a coincidence would happen to her to convince her of God's greatness. We got on the train and eventually three seats became available so we sat down. The lady next to us started talking to my cousin and offered her some lollies. I started thinking, "That's a good way to start sharing the gospel with someone, offer something first out of love then offer the Eternal Gift of love". I was moved to pray for my cousin's salvation and that someone would give her a tract one day.
Straight after my prayer, I noticed that the lady was now fiddling with her bag and then pulled out a little booklet and gave it to my cousin! It was written in Thai but the front cover was in English "Am I a Sinner?" I was so shocked and in awe at how fast God would answer my prayer by getting this lady to have the courage to give out this gospel tract to my cousin!! She started talking more with my cousin as I nudged HL to have a look at what is going on! It was another big encouragement to us that God does work in mighty ways just through the use of a tract offered on a train! Never underestimate the power of God working through each of the gospel tracts you give out! It will probably be part of the answer to someone else's prayer.
