Over the last four weeks we have been having lectures back at the YWAM base in Brisbane. The lectures have focused on the areas of: Bible Study, Lordship, Relationships and Fear of the Lord, and I have really learned a lot over the last month. We have also been going into Brisbane on Friday nights for city Evangelism. It can be quite a hard culture to witness in. Much like cities back in Canada, everyone is very busy. It is hard to connect with people on the street. It had been good though. Our DTS splits up into groups of 3 or 4 and walks through the city. We have had the chance to talk with all kinds of different people, Christians, muslims, hippies, homeless and so on. It has really taught me to go on God's agenda. To listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit with what to say. Very often it is easy to go on our own agenda, and try to right away speak Jesus into their lives. When we allow room for the Holy Spirit we go on God's agenda. Sometimes God leads us to bring Him up right away, other times we talk for half an hour or an hour first. Our DTS has had the chance to really encourage and pray for quite a few individuals, and it has really been a great experience.
