Yesterday, Regina and I knocked on doors for about two hours in a nearby neighbourhood. We had a few interesting conversations, but the most encouraging one was with a young woman named Katrina. We asked her if she had a Bible, and she said that she did not, but she has been reading some online. She’s searching for answers, because she is not satisfied with just hearing what people in the Catholic church say. We gave her a New Testament and briefly shared the Gospel with her. I John 5:13 was helpful to let her know that she can have assurance of salvation. We encouraged her to read the book of John, and she may be open to someone coming back at a later date to talk with her more.
Please pray for Katrina and also Megan, a girl I talked to today in downtown Dublin during our outreach on the streets. Megan listened pretty attentively, and she said she might try reading the Bible for herself. I was also excited to meet two Christians on the street. One guy was handing out tracts himself, and we were able to encourage each other.

Today as we went out to do some street ministry in downtown Dublin I met a man named Owen who is an atheist. It was an interesting conversation. I enjoyed talking to him and being challenged to go and study the bible further. He wanted a lot of evidence and he asked me to prove that God exists and to explain a ‘real’ reason as to why I believe what I believe. But I couldn’t convince him with anything I said. I just pray that God works in his heart and takes some things that we talked about and really ponders some things. We talked for about 30-40 minutes until he left in a hurry. About 10 minutes later he came back. That was really a great sign because it meant that our earlier conversation was effective in some way. At that time, it didn’t seem like he was thinking with a new mindset, but God truly is amazing and nothing is impossible with Him. I really believe that He’ll use our conversation to lead him to Himself. Just keep him in your prayers too please. Thanks!
