Working In Zone 4
Last night two teams went into zone 4 to hand out Gospel tracts and share Jesus with some of the people we saw sitting outside enjoying the evening. Our group(Randy Andrea, and myself) had two good encounters, one with a family of gypsies, five ladies, who read through and discussed the scriptures with us. As we were leaving one of them said that they believed that God had sent us here to find them and do Bible studies with them. Our other encounter was with two Orthodox men. We spoke with them using SJWF and discussing the scriptures, but they were not interested in doing any Bible studies in their home. These guys were talking a mile a minute and Andrea was hustling to keep up; interestingly enough I caught bits and pieces relating that being Romanian Orthodox was enough to get them into Heaven. They are depending on tradition of the church to get them through instead of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, the people believe this is the way...this just reinforces to me that we need to know what our Bible says instead of listening to a priest or minister's personal view not based on God's Word. Whitney and Andrea also had two good encounters.
