Quality vs Quanity

G'day friends!

This week has been great so far. Yesterday (Monday) our team had training all day. We learned about the spiritual atmosphere on the different Unis and when the best hours for evangelism are. We also learned a lot about Aussie culture and the difficulties it brings. We also went over our testimonies and why they are important. While we we're discussing what should be included in them and why we share them, this verse came to mind.

"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death" Rev 12:11


God has given each one of us a story of how He has changed our lives. It may not always be super exciting or seem powerful at first glace. Even if it seems "boring", it is still a unique gift that God has given each one of us and that no one can take away. And in the end, God will use our stories of how He transformed us to conquer the devil ( along with the blood of Jesus of coarse).

After training, we ate dinner and hung out with the missionaries here. It was so much fun and refreshing. They do so much work here and really invest in the students. I am so blessed to be working with them for the next five weeks.


Today was yet another exciting day. We toured RMIT Bundoora ( one of the Uni's) and got familiar with the campus. We then heard from a girl from student life ( Bek) and learned about the spiritual atmosphere there. We also took a prayer walk around the campus and prayed for the students and the upcoming weeks of evangelism. One thing that I have noticed here is how passionate the Christians here are. There are very few luke warm believers here. Either the Aussies are all about Jesus and transforming where they live or haven't given a thought about God. It has been very convicting in my own walk with God. Do I care about GMU as much as they care about their school? Do I always live all out for Jesus like I should?  Do I always look for opportunities to share God with others?

On a side note, I was able to see three kangaroos in the wild today! It was so surreal and fun.

Praises:
-For all the friendships I have made with the Aussie students.
-Our awesome missionaries
-seeing kangaroos

Prayer requests:
-The health of the team. I, along with many others, am sick.
-The hearts of the people we will be sharing with.
-For God to transform Melbourne into a city that love Jesus and makes Him known.

Cheers,
