Mid Week Prayer

Hey REEFers!!

This was originally for the SBHS people, but I think its a point that everyone of us will come across.

RICE is coming up in a short 10 days, and i've decided to post as many posts as possible. And today's post is confidence. Confidence is something we all seek, and especially in evangelism, we sometimes get jelly-legged, and for many of us, we just bail out all together. I mentioned this earlier, and there is only one way to combat this, read the Bible, know your faith, and finally trust God.

When telling people about RICE here are three simple tips:
1) Tell them what a great event it is (Physical factor)
2) Tell them what to expect (Physcological Factor)
3) Let them decided whether to come (Spiritual Factor)

I'm not saying just thrust it at them and then walk away, when you let them decide, I mean answer their questions, ask them why not? Follow them up, but dont nag. Recently a lot of conversations about Christianity (especially Catholicsm) have arisen, and at first I found myself being bombarded with questions. I regret that for some of the time i just bailed out, but thats what im talking about, "We're all Human".

Let God speak through you. If you stumble, don't fret, simily say something like:

"I'm not too sure about this, but [SO and SO] can tell you more. Why dont we find [So and So] and ask him?" (replace so and so with another christian, leader and RICE CAFE!!)

Many many times I've found myself stumped for the quesiton, and suddenly changing the subject, or just mindlessly saying No. This not only puts people off in normal convos, but will definately put them off for these ones. And a final note, have a look, i wrote "Why dont WE find..." not "Why dont I'LL refer you to someone and forget about your questions..." dont just mention a way, and then leave them to their own devices, go with them!

That was a bit too much for a prayer post :S. But here is the only one prayer point:

~ Pray that God will speak through us, and question our true motives.

in Him
