Street Preaching
What a beautiful (but cold) day to preach on Princess St. in Edinburgh! It was about 1 degree C (33 F) when we got going this morning around 10:30. But, the sun was out and it was not windy at all. Both of those stats are more rare than we could wish. It was ideal for street preaching.
The place we preached is one of our favourites. It sits at a very buys pedestrian cross roads (North Bridge and Princess St.) in a very busy shopping district in Edinburgh. A mall, the St. James Quarter, is just around the corner. The Apple Store is right beside us. Waverley Train Station is nearly across from us and so the footfall is very high. This is an ideal place in these colder months when people are not sitting as much outside.
God continually gives us encouragment when we are out. A young man stopped to visit with us. He is 20 and he just got saved this past year. He was baptised in October. It's great to see His love for the Lord and hear a bit of his testimony. Someone stopped into their work and asked if anyone wanted to do some Bible study lessons. He thought, "Why not try something different?" He did and God brough him to faith in Jesus.
There were some times this morning when it seemed very quiet except for the preaching of God's Word. I very much appreciate and need your prayers as I preach on the Street. Only God can awaken men's hearts and I need His enablement. Thank you for praying for both Tommy and myself. Tommy hands out literature while I am preaching. He also speaks with anyone who has a question or comment. Thanks for praying.
