Spreading the Word

The summer term was pretty amazing =) Doing things and all. Lol can I be more vague? Haha. Probably. Anyways, I think the past term was the term I really tried to push myself to share the Gospel. I definitely need a lot more practice and growing on my own as well, but yes, I really did try. It was alright, sometimes I wouldn't know what to do and then I would have that blank look on my face. I think if I saw myself I would actually lol at myself. hahaa.

Sharing the Gospel at the work was quite a touchy subject and it is discouraged (it's written in their policy =S ). Sometimes I would have to sneak around that so that I could talk to the patient one to one. I would try to incorporate it into the assessment part of work since I am supposed to know my patient (ie. knowing the patient's religious background). It was still a bit hard to talk to them about it in a way they would be able to understand because some (just some) had a lower IQ and may not necessarily know what I'm talking about at all.

There were other times when I just started talking to random strangers. I remember two particular incidents very clearly...

1) On the GO bus

2) At a coffee shop called "My Dog Joe"

The two men I talked with had some similarities in terms of the things they were and are still going through. Believes were quite similar as well... one believed that if you find whatever it is that make you strong, then you should believe it. The other was a Buddhist and believed in balance and agreed with everything I said. He agreed with everything I said because a lot of the things written in the Bible are similar to the Buddhist teachings according to him.

I'll write about how each conversation went later on. But telling people about the Gospel is so important. And many times Christians forget that the living Word of God can change the life of a person dramatically.
