Cambridge, England and the Gospel

Today, Saturday, I went out to pass out tracts with a local church. The local church has a member that OAs so I am more there to make a crowd. One of these days, I will branch out and talk to some of the people instead of offering tracts. Anyways, it was a rough start to the day. I woke up and wanted to get back to bed but knowing that God has something good happening Cambridge, I got up and went. This has been 1st time in 2 weeks that I was able to go to Cambridge to pass tracts. SO I went in force with my 1 million pound notes and round tuits. I gave a lot of million pounds notes. I had one lady tell me to go back to America. I guess the days of Spurgeon and Wesley are gone in England. I guess there are still that OA near the Cambridge University. I did learn, so when I do jump on a box, to use a heckler to attract a crowd. I saw people’s faces change as the gospel was told. But God was faithful and we meet Joel. Joel is in the British Army and was in Afghanistan when a USAF Fighter dropped a bomb on a group of British Army personnel. The fighter was from a USAF base that is in the UK. He was asked what would he have done if he knew that the bomb was going to land there? He said that he would save himself. We used to show the need of Christ. We know that we are to be judged by Christ. So why not seek his protection from God’s judgment? So even if it was cold outside and a heckler tried to make the person OA look dumb, God was faithful provide us with Joel. Please pray for Joel that he will repent and trust in Christ.

My first time tracting.

Being in the military and as my job requires so much time, I have not been able to tract with a group of Christian. So this weekend, I made it a point to go down to Mildenhall, Suffolk, England Bus Stop. I pulled into a the car park and started to walk towards the bus stop. It was cloudy and rainy, all to topical English weather. Now the thoughts were hitting my head. I bet they canceled you should head home. No one will be here just go. I still walked towards the bus stop. After a quick call from BT about by broadband, I was a guy passing out tracts and he started to head towards me. I was nervous but I asked the guy if he was George. George is the one who is set it up. If fact it was him and then I introduced myself. So now I was excited and scared but the excitement would ware off. I meet tons of people from surrounding churches. George then help me to give tracts away. I bought some tracts to hand out but I either would forget them at home or to hand them out. So I started to pass out my Million Pound Note. I think the Million Pound Note is better to use in England because it is the English currency. The first I tried to give a tract to was the preacher that was out there. He gave some trouble but was in all good fun. Then I was rejected my first couple of time. It was really exciting to actually hand out the first tract. I would handout more as the day progressed on. We than set up a mock crowd so George got open air. We actually had the Britsh bobbies show up. I guess people said George was boucing off the walls and screaming. But they informed us that we could OA but people are not used that. Much has changed since Spurgeon and Wesley where here. After we were down, the sun popped its beams out from behind a couple. That gave me the warm feeling that I was doing what God wanted me to do. So if God wills it, I will go with the group and head to Cambridge to hand out tracts there next Saturday. I do have to say it was
