It takes God's power to draw people to Himself and to changed their lives, but it takes our willingness and courage to share the Gospel to people. This update shows how five university students came to Christ. They all grew up in Buddhist families without knowledge about God and Christianity. After a month of hearing about God and Christian truth, they decided to believe in Jesus. Our first English Bible study with the university students began on February 20, 2011. From that Sunday and the Sundays that followed, their desire to know more about God and to experience God's saving grace was evident. Despite their eagerness, we didn't rush to present the Gospel because we want them to understand some preliminary truths. We believe the time has come to present the Gospel to them so we marked March 27 in our calendar. This week, however, a team from Mitchell South Dakota is currently doing a medical mission in Cambodia. We invited three men from the team, Aaron Nash, Aaron Lemon and Adam Rasmussen, to come and help us with the presentation of the Gospel.
How a broken relationship with God can be restored through Jesus Christ. This is Adam Rasmussen showing an illustration about the relationship of Adam and Eve with God before and after the Fall and then the provision of Jesus Christ dying on the cross and how that truth affect us today.
How can one experience salvation? This is Aaron Nash presenting the plan of salvation by pointing to different verses in the Bible. Understanding the Scripture is necessary to understand the truth about God's plan for salvation.
Testimony is a powerful tool. Testimony shows that the Scripture is true and anyone can experience salvation regardless of age, sex, languages, and cultures. Aaron Lemon sharing his testimony how he came to Christ at an early age.
Greg explains the Gospel. Sin, the death of Christ on the cross, Repentance from sin, Faith in Christ are highlighted.
Believing and trusting Christ is not easy when you come from a totally different religious background. Although many people trust the Lord the first time they hear the message of salvation, there is a reason we shouldn't rush and force people to believe. There are many truths that can be understood progressively. The clearer the understanding, the clearer the response.
Today, the girls understood why it is important to believe in Jesus Christ. We have not force them, they made the decision. The girls decided to pray, confess their sins and trust Christ for their salvation. Aaron Nash lead the girls to prayer. Their decision will change their life forever!
We had a joyful moment of celebration welcoming them into the family of God! To care for them spiritually, discipling them to Christlike maturity, and to equip them to become agents of change in the Cambodian society is our next goals for the girls.
