Second Step.

Last Dec 04, i blogged about Taking the First Step. My first step in bringing the gospel to my office.

And last wednesday, I took the second step.

A few days before Christmas I was riding the MRT with the Ms. I., I was telling her that I was meeting my church friends to play badminton. That started our conversation about how she misses bible studies and fellowships. She was also a christian and a tambourine dancer. But lately, because of busy schedule at work and also after leaving to her home church to joining her husband at another church, somehow her zest for fellowship declined.

I knew it was the signal I was waiting from God.

I asked her immediately if she wanted to form a bible study in the office. She said yes! (With excited tone and clapping hands). Then she asked if I could lead the group since she's not really in the good shape to lead.

Of course, the bibo kid that I was, I said YES. =)

Then we had a covenant to pray about it during the christmas break.

I took it in my heart to pray...and even fast for it. I knew that it was God's hand moving to orchestrate everything...it was perfect...the timing, the people involved, everything!

I was humbled by the fact that God was honoring my desire to bring the gospel to the lost. I wanted to share it to Mongolia, but God in His wisdom, knew that I still need preparation and equipping...so for my first course, bible study 101 in the market place.

After almost a month...

The Bible Study finally started. Ate S., Ms. I and me gathered during lunch break. I was nervous. Very nervous. I don't know them personally. Ate S. is a new christian with a very strong personality. I was afraid I'll say something that will offend her or something to that effect.

I shared matthew 6:33. It was about giving our worries to the Lord. I was amazed how they responded. Ate S. said that the Word was very timely, her husband was diagnosed with ulcer and she was ver worried about him. She felt comforted with the Word. Also, Ms. I, shared her worries...she actually broke into tears while sharing. She's been praying for a long time for a child. She said that sometimes she feels that she's worrying too much instead of trusting God.
I also shared my worries. I told them that I'm worried to be left alone in the country if ever my parents migrate to Canada.

Then afterwards, we encouraged one another that we just have to TRUST God, to give our burdens to Him and to believe that He's on the move...He's never late, always on time.

Before we ended, Ate S, was very excited to share her prayer concerns. I was surprised, she has ALOT of prayer requests! Then Ms. I, told me to pray for our officemate who needs healing. One of our production staff was hit by a motorcycle while riding at the back of a tricycle. So, we closed the bible study with a very long prayer time.

Afterwards, I went back to the R&D lab teary-eyed...

I felt an overwhelming spring of joy in my heart. My heart was screaming... We made it God! One big move in claiming this land!=) This is just the start of something wonderful...something great..something glorious!

I praise the Lord for His grace that enabled me to lead. I praise the Lord for His love that's all over me... I can't help but share it to those people who haven't known Christ.

It's time to take possession of the Land. March On. Break the Walls. Sound the trumpet!

Let it be Known that Jesus is Lord!
