The journey to faith

One of the joys of our work here is being able to help others understand the message of the Bible and find their way to a relationship with Jesus. A young guy has been coming now and again on Sundays since early last year. He is a friend of Sambi's and she invited him for the first time on Valentine's Day. After that he began to come on special occasions, around once a month. Over time he began to relax and he always chatted freely as we ate together afterwards. Recently he came and asked if he could pray during the service - he did and it was great! Some weeks ago he shared a bit about his life and how he feels about himself. David wondered whether he would like to meet more regularly (he is not working at the moment) so now he has met with David and JP three times to begin considering the message of the Bible. He has lots of questions and often comes at things from an intriguing angle. As we meet with him, we try to find points in common and ways in to share so that he can understand. He is not going to back to his family home at New Year so wants to come this Sunday and cook curry rice for all of us after the service. It would make an even better New Year for us if Wataru were to commit himself to a relationship with Jesus and be the next addition to our young church.
