Door-to-door in Newcastle West

Josh and Joan head out to knock on doors in an estate (subdivision) on Saturday afternoon.

Although not everyone that we talked to today accepted the truth, we were encouraged by the few who were genuinely receptive.

A couple of examples of today's contacts:
Heidi and Brian had the opportunity to share Christ with a young lady in her 20s. The lady had previously heard about our group, and she was aware of what we were doing. So at first the lady didn't really want to open up. But Brian and Heidi were able to share their testimonies with her. The lady agreed to look at the magazine and contact someone from the assembly if she ever changed her mind or had questions.

An ex-soldier (field engineer) invited Josh and Joan in for a conversation that lasted for over an hour. He was raised Catholic, knows the Bible but hasn't taken it seriously. But he was very receptive, and took the literature they offered, as he likes to read. Opportunities like this were a big encouragement to several of our team members who have never before knocked on doors to share the gospel.
