Australia: There's No Lie You Won't Tear Down Coming After Me, Day 7

Why is this title so long you ask? Well it's a lyric from the song Reckless Love. Give it a listen if you haven't, it's powerful. Day 7 was a heavy gospel day and was round 2 on the USYD campus. I was paired up with Ray and we went to the part of campus where the castle-like building was that I took a picture of when we were last here. After being so discouraged with door-knocking the previous day, I felt that the Lord tore down a lot of lies while we were on the campus.

Ray and I began on one patch of grass and in 3 hours we didn't leave it. The first two people we talked to were pretty awesome Christians. One was an local and the other was a missionary from the USA doing gospel work in Sydney. That encouragement came like a flood and never stopped. The next person we talked to was a deist studying theology. The guy was very open and was so happy we talked to him. He wasn't ready to receive the Lord but he did pray that God would make himself real to him. The third person spoke little English so Ray did all the talking, but in the end this person gained Christ and Christ's salvation. The fourth person was a Muslim girl who wasn't particularly  strong in her faith. We spent awhile talking to her and as we did, saw a change in her. Just as we were about to ask her if she would like to receive Christ, she realized she had to be at a class in five minutes and took off. The seed was planted, however. The fifth was a girl who had former ties to Christianity, but left when her brother came out. We showed her John 3:16, but before we could go any further she too had to leave, but told us we had given her something to think about. We talked to about 7 more people and of those 7, we gave a Christian girl confirmation that she was saved, had a Buddhist pray that God would prove Himself to him, met another two Christians, and talked with a tour guide who had to leave, but wanted to talk to us more.

The last person we talked to for the day shocked me. Our conversation with him wasn't going so well and I thought after all the Lord had done that we were going to end on a sour note. Then a feeling deep inside me told me to stop answering questions and to go to God's Word, the Bible. We showed him John 3:16 and took him through the Roman's Road. By the end of our conversation, he prayed as two others had that day that God would prove Himself to him. My soul was happy and my spirit soaring. Not one single person we talked to rejected us talking to them, 3 prayed for Truth to be revealed, and one was saved. As a group, four total received Christ through our going out and as of day seven, nine have received salvation here in Sydney.

Like most other days, there was still one more thing for us to do. We all made our way over to Yu-lin's house where we were joined by a handful of University students. And for the first time since we've been here, all the Aussies who visited the US were in one place. Chris, Elsa, Nelson, Christine, Vasya, Angela, and finally Hannah. We spent the evening eating more delicious food and singing the night away.

"There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
No lie You won't tear down
Coming after me"
