The LifeCenter team has been on the Ramkhamhaeng Campus the last three days handing out invitations and doing evangelism. What would be the result? Would anyone come to the event? The band that was supposed to play cancelled a few days before and we had just a guitar. Still we had the verse "Be still and know that I am God" ringing in our head. (Jasmine brought it home on a piece of paper in the afternoon.)
The LifeCenter team had taken up postions to help people find their way to the "Upper Room". 6 pm when the event was supposed to start just a handfull of students had come. We tried to serve them some snacks while we were waiting but the atmosphere was rather tensed. After a few minutes some more came and 40 minutes later we started with a bunch of people filling one third of the room.
Josef, our LifeCenter team leader, took the guitar and sang two songs before we started to preach. No fun games... just the simple message of God´s love. And that´s all we need. As we preached the atmosphere got easier and easier. Then we handed over the microphone to our Thai friend, Maem, and she shared her powerful story how God changed her life. After that Josef sang another song and then we did the invitation for those who wanted to be saved.
The evening ended with a joyful chaos in the "Consolidation room" where we followed up those who wanted to be saved and those that wanted to know more. 25 people made the decision to give their lives to Jesus for the first time! That makes a total of 30 this week!!! All glory to Jesus! Another handful of people wanted to know more.People that we met for the first time and people we have been praying for during nine months went home shining with joy carrying their new Bibles under their arms. Now we need to get new Bibles for next week.
