God Answers Prayer log #1: Sharing Jesus in Taiwan



I think I'm gonna use this blog to start recording some prayers that God answers since I realized He's doing it quite often. I'll call them the "God Answers Prayer" log to showcase my creativity in coming up with names. So here's the GAP log #1.

Prayer Journal entry on June 3rd, 2010:
"Give me the opportunities to share Jesus as I'm in Taiwan".

Answered on June 12, 2010:
I think I imagined laying out the Gospel to either a college student or even a Taiwanese adult, showing how Jesus is better than Buddha or how there is only one true Creator God. However, I take this conversation as at least part of God providing opportunities to share Jesus.

Monica's 10 year old niece, Chanel, was asking some pretty loaded theological questions over dinner. These are questions that she's genuinely concerned about as a fifth grader (!):
- If we are called "sons of God", how can we call Jesus the Son of God?
- What language did Adam and Eve speak? What ethnicity were they?
- How can we be convinced that the life of Christ is an actual historical fact rather than made up stories of old?

Then jumps in her four-year old brother, Leo (or Do-do as we call him), with some questions of his own! (watch the video! SUPER cute).

I got to share a little about Jesus. Praise the Lord for providing these two opportunities! When you read this, lift up a pray for Chanel and Leo to one day fall madly in love with Jesus.
