Thursday 18th Evangelism Update

I've been doing good this week with blogging. I've remembered. Anyway, since today was a rainy day, we had to go to a different campus (one that would actually allow us inside).

So we went to Hunter's College. It was weird... the building had a subway entrance in it so we just ended up right in there. Anyway, long story short, the students really liked when we did Soularium with them. If you don't know what that is, it's a set of photographs that are numbered and the questions go like this, cause it's a photo survey:

What 3 photos does your life look like now and why
What 3 do you want it to look like and why
What photo do you think represents God and why
What 3 photos best symbolize your religious experience and why
What 3 photos symbolize what you want your religious experience to be and why

(while writing all this information down at the same time)

If they seem interested or you know a way to lead into talking about the KGP, then after those questions, go for it. We had a girl really interested who was really emotional and excited to know Christ but she didn't want to go fully through with it because it was all too much at once and she just wasn't really mentally ready. Perhaps she was and was just stalling... people think life will be lame after accepting Christ, as if it's a question of giving up fun. But I don't think that was really her main issue. She really wants a relationship with Christ, and didn't know how to have it because it felt like there was a locked door in front of her. What's interesting and amazing is that she said she was praying in the hall about that very issue when she turned the corner and saw us with our Soularium laid out on the table.

We talked with many others but none accepted Christ. There were a lot of Hindu-influenced people who thought God was in everything and thereby reduced to a non-thinking entity confined to being nothing more than "cyclical" and "alive" and "it is what it is".

In any case... a very productive day. God again proved to me that what I emotionally deemed impossible is quite possible.
