Will Shawn receive Christ? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, keep praying.

My closest non-Christian friend.
Shawn Ow.
Will he ever receive Christ into his life?

This friend of mine is a great cynic of God and I have been praying for him and others for a long time.
I even bought him a copy of The Purpose Driven Life to bring to Australia, which he did not read, of course.

However, things changed last night.

We met up and had a good night of talking...and I was praying for an opportunity to talk about God and life.
Halfway through, God opened the topic when Shawn himself asked me a question, which soon allowed me to link to the gospel.

There was a strong sense of leading by the Holy Spirit as I answered his questions and I could see a growing sense of interest in his eyes.

We ended at around 5.30 a.m. with him saying he will seriously think about it. He even allowed me to pray for him to let God speak to him personally. (He swore not to utter a word though.)

To me, last night was a miracle, for almost a year ago, his response was almost repulsive.

That was last night.

Tonight, we met again for supper and God allowed me to open the discussion (though almost one-sided talking by me most of the time...haha) when we peered into a car and saw a copy of "The Da Vinci Code".

It was a shorter evening, but by the end of it, my best non-Christian friend asked if it was possible for one to be a Christian yet believe in karma at the same time.

At that instant, somehow, I experienced a wisdom to present the truth in a manner which I really felt was digestive to him.

In the realms of current affairs, science, history, nature and even within the human heart, God is too real to be ignored, I later told him...and honestly, even the process of sharing with him a faith as such, is a booster to my own.

God was clearly the One at work this evening.

Will Shawn receive Christ? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, keep praying for him.
Once he does, I shall thank God with all my heart and move on to my next target.

Wonderful.
I feel so good plundering hell and prospering heaven.
The Christian life is so exciting.
