Witnessing in the Workplace: Ginseng Boss Part 2

The glory of God! At work! Today! Hallelujah!!!

God moved at work today! Guess what?

Ginseng boss is/might be interested in coming to church!!! And he might bring a posse!
HOLY COW! All this from one conversation? God is moving! He is powerful!

Basically he's interested because his sister is a churchgoer who has not been going to church recently. That's how he described her. Don't ask me. So he was interested in my church because its in Frankston, near the workplace.

Boss: Stephen, what time was your church service again?

Stephen: About 10am and I finish at 1pm. Do you need me to come in on Sunday?

Boss: Naah. Nothing like that. Just that Alice here works on a Sunday. And she is interested in going to church. So I was thinking since your church is nearby she might be able to go there.

Stephen: Cool. What about you?

Boss: Well, I have to open the restaurant at 12.

Stephen: Oh, that's cool. Service ends at quarter to (12). (Although it doesn't usually cause we fail to end on time).

Boss: Oh alright.

Stephen: So you can come if you want.

Boss: Well, the only reason I would come to church would be to accompany my sister who is a churchgoer.

Stephen: So she doesn't go to church now?

Boss: Not recently because of her work schedule. But she wants to go badly. She is a strong believer. Can I get your church address?

Stephen: I don't have it on me now. I'll bring it tomorrow.


HOW AWESOME?!?!?!? Lots of prayer needed. Basically one of the questions he asked was.. lots of people go there yea? I'm like... not really, we're a small church. SO I REALLY HOPE that he won't mind going to a small church and the CONVENIENCE will OVERPOWER the smallness. I also told him we're heavily Asian so that might be a good thing!

LORD, please work here! I did my best! The rest is up to you! Well, I should still pray fervently. Not exactly a strength of mine. But I should improve.

I actually have a major interview tomorrow. Ahh! God, go there before me and may your favour rest on me. Amen.

Weekly Update 060709: Tract Mission and Jakey makes a Power Play

For those of you who know me, I've been working at a telemarketing company, Telesynergy owned and operated by Indians. I'm not exactly the best at it and have contemplated quitting it for ages. Will probably do so in the near future but that's not the point. The point is I was convicted that I can't leave my workplace without having reached out to some people. I can't just talk about evangelism and not do it. I'd be a crummy hypocrite, the type Jesus hates. From my conversations with several nice and intelligent Indians, I singled out two gentlemen.

1. Sanjay - Incredible gentleman. He gets scolded by the boss numerous times but still carries on cheerfully. In the end the fruitlessness took its toll and he left the job. We had a few conversations about God. Sanjay is a religious man, surprisingly not an out and out Hindu. He is (unknowingly) a subscriber to pluralism, believing in "all gods".

2. Anhkit. An Australian born Indian although he has Iranian or Persian blood or something like that. He has expressed an interest in Christianity. Very loud, boisterous and friendly.

I have acquired the contact numbers for both gentlemen. So I can reach them without having to go to work there. My mission: to give them a tract each. I will acquire their address and send them a tract together with a letter and see how they respond. Maybe I can invite them to church but they do live miles and miles away.

A powerful mate of mine, Jake sent me a very exciting and encouraging text a few days back. He said from conversations with a mutual friend of ours, said friend is close to salvation! I don't know the details yet. Gonna find out soon! Not sure if I should reveal the person's identity yet. Have to ask Jakey.


Till next time,
Sayonara!

In Christ,
