Janita and I also join a school evangelism team which goes around every lunchtime to the canteens to talk to people about Jesus. Going vocal with your faith really shakes you up in a positive way, as we have experienced. Over here, the culture is more free and people are open to talk about religion and stuff, so we had quite a few interesting conversations. This causes me to reflect about our culture in Singapore. Over here, since there are so few Christians around, the on-fire Christians are really desperate for peoples' salvations. The guy in the middle here is Elrich, an industrial design student, and he does this everyday. There are no pop concerts, or high-powered family carnivals and all. It's just pure gospel. We can definitely be more direct with the gospel as it really is.
Paul says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." (Rom 1:16) I guess this is what it's about..
