“This story illustrates how our efforts in spreading the Gospel may have an impact far beyond what we can imagine. So don’t be discouraged if your results seem small, the harvest you reap may surprise you.” Admin

This all started a number of years ago in a Baptist church in Crystal Palace in South London.  The Sunday morning service was closing and a man stood up at the back and raised his hand and said:  “Excuse me pastor can I share a short testimony?”  The pastor looked at his watch and said “You have two minutes.”   The man proceeded with his story: “I’ve just moved into this area.  I used to live in Sydney Australia.  Just a few months back I was visiting some relatives and I was walking down George Street.  You know where George Street is in Sydney going from the Business Area out to the colonial area.  A strange little white haired man stepped out from a shop doorway, put a pamphlet in my hand and said:   ‘Excuse me sir, are you saved, if you die tonight are you going to heaven?’  “I was astounded by these words. No one had ever asked me that.  I thanked him courteously and all the way home to London this puzzled me.  I called a friend and thank God he was a Christian and he led me to Christ.”

 

Everyone applauded and welcomed him into their fellowship.

 

The Baptist pastor flew to Adelaide, Australia the next week and 10 days later in the middle of a three day series in a Baptist church in Adelaide, a woman came up to him for some counseling.  He wanted to establish where she stood with Christ.  She said “I used to live in Sydney and just a couple of months back I was visiting some friends in Sydney and doing some last minute shopping down George Street.  A strange little white haired man stepped out of a shop doorway and offered me a pamphlet and said ‘Excuse me madam, are you saved, if you die tonight are you going to heaven?’  “I was disturbed by those words.  When I got home to Adelaide, I knew this Baptist church was on the next block from me.  I sought out the pastor and he led me to Christ.  So I am telling you that I am a Christian.”
