Well today was my first OFFICIAL campus outreach day! We went to the campus at about 10 am this morning and started off with finding all the
hotspots and prayer walking. We did this till about 11:30 when we finally decided to get some lunch! Well today was my fasting day...I will talk about this later. So in short story I got me some water and no food! Well I started off trying to talk to a few girls individually but because of language barriers I was unable to talk to any of those girls. So I decided to focus on prayer and Christ placing someone in my path. I sat there till about 12:30 praying for at least 30 minutes after the failed attempts. A girl sat by me and after convincing myself to be bold and not worry about language barriers, I went for it! Even though after 4 sentences I realized there was a HUGE language barrier :) So I smiled and told her it was nice to meet her! As I turned back to my seat and Japanese guy tapped on my shoulder!!! We sat there and talked for about 10 minutes and he asked if we could meet for lunch on Friday! So Brian, one of my teammates and I have a "date" (not literally) with this new contact of mine! I am so excited because this is my first contact at my new university!!! I asked about the
english club and he has told me one of his good friends is in the club and Friday he will give me that information! We want to become a part of the
english club because these clubs stress
english speaking practice with
americans and this is a great opportunity for them and US! At about 2 we left our campus to head to
Shibuya, which is where our apartment is, to do free bible study! Well it went really well and I enjoy
FBS because the people know what the are getting into when they come up to us. Generally they just want the tract and the gospel of John, but every now and then some of them will want to talk about it and go over the tract with us! So today we worked there from 2-6, handed out about 35 total and talked to about 20 individually! We had one guy ask to take part in a bible study, so he starts next
wednesday! Brian and I ate a cheap place that was yummy before heading back to the cave!
So some great news :) My very first contact that I had dinner with last week from Asia University has contacted me and wants to have dinner tomorrow at 7:30! So I am so excited about this opportunity :) So now I have two contacts that have been texting me throughout the day and I love it so much!!! It is so exciting to know these new friends of mine are interested in hearing the GREAT news of our JC!!!
