Dear Prayer Warriors,
Last night we were given the opportunity to help teach the young adults at King's Cross Baptist Church in Camden how to story. Storying is a form of telling the Bible in an approachable, understandable way. The Spirit really moved through Danielle last night as she taught the class. She was able to not only explain the importance of storying to her, but teach the parable of the Four Soils last night. The class had a tremendous response to the workshop, and many said they felt moved to share the Gospel with others because of the class. It could change the way King's Cross works in the community to share God's love and Word with others and especially non-believers. Pray that the people of King's Cross will continue to use storying as a tool to help spread the Word of Christ and that they may find comfort in using storying as a tool to evangelize.
We woke up this morning and did more storying Bible studying on Luke 10. Today we really focused on obedience to God, reliance on Him, and the power of prayer in our missionary experiences. Then, we went to King's Cross again to learn another story. This morning, Meredith (the worker from Hunter Street for King's Cross) taught us the story of the Woman who Washes Jesus's feet. The morals behind that story are that no sin is too great to be forgiven, and we as Christians should never judge who has forgiveness and who doesn't.
After learning the story, we broke up into groups and did prayer walking/storying. A lot of the groups had a very moving and successful day. One group (Danielle and Liz) told the Washing of Jesus's feet story when talking to a Muslim who said he would start praying to find the "true religion" of Christ. The same group also talked to a drunk heroin addict who said he wanted to be cleaned up by Christ's love, and has decided to start going to church again. Another group (Charles, Alex, and Marc) talked to a homeless man who was a Christian and was encouraged by the telling of the Woman Washing the Woman's feet story. The same group told the four soils story to a gardener who really enjoyed hearing the story and planted a seed of Jesus in his agnostic heart. Another group (Spencer, Gay, Meredith and Mike) told someone they met in a drugstore the four soils story, and the man wanted to know more about Christianity so the group told him the Creation to Christ story; at the end, the man said he didn't know about Jesus but the group did feel like he did believe in God. The same group also talked to a "revolutionary socialist atheist" who used to be a Mormon and whom we are planning on trying to talk to Christ again.
Everyone had very emotional and impactful days today, and it is partly because of your prayers for us. Continue to pray that God will open doors for us, that we will follow His Spirit patiently, and that we have the physical, mental and emotional strength to carry on God's mission in London.
Praise God for all He has done for us this week and all He is planning on us to do later this week. Thank you Lord for all your blessings.
