How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! – Psalm 119:103
It has been a week since I returned from London when the Lord sent a group of evangelists to proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ
during the 2012 Summer Olympics. While I am adjusting to the “normal
routine” of life, my heart still lingers in London with all that the
Lord accomplished for His glory. I miss my brothers and sisters who I
labored with from the States, as well as my new friends who the Lord
blessed me to meet and labor beside. While I cannot possibly remember
all the good things that happened during our mission, I hope I will be
able to share some things the Lord has used to teach me and grow
personally as a result of the trip. I’ll share two such stories in this
article (note: names have been changed to protect identities).
The Cost of Following Christ
Trafalgar Square
On Wednesday, August 1, we set up our ministry location at Trafalgar
Square, a major tourist attraction adjacent to The Mall entrance to
Buckingham Palace. The architecture and statues in this area were
magnificent, and the vast amount of pedestrian space provided for an
excellent ministry location. 100,000 people traversing the area on the
day we visited would be a conservative estimate.
Robert, Jason, and I set up in the middle of the Square and it wasn’t
long before we were prohibited from preaching (we couldn’t practice any
religious speech or hand out literature within the park). Eventually,
Robert and I found our way over to a couple of young students named
Patrik and Fahim, who couldn’t have been older than 15 years old. As
Patrik is from Hungary and Fahim from Saudi Arabia, we had a bit of a
language barrier but they seemed to understand well enough to have a
conversation. Continue at AiroCross
