20 minutes to... Good Friday?

Twenty minutes after supper.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say that I really like the Sunnydaler attitude last Saturday!

It is true that a positive attitude towards things really helps us to GET AHEAD.
Last Saturday suppertime at Holland V, after our Young Adult Service, we felt a stirring in our spirit to really make use of the 500 handbills of "A Doctor's Journal" that we had with us. We decided to use these precious minutes (11:05- 11:25pm!) to just meet at least ONE person and invite them to come! I am really amazed at the positive attitude of our Sunnydalers and so proud of you guys! We are a really outstanding bunch because we also had friends in our midst, and we decided to just go forward - And every single one of the Sunnydalers' that was there managed to speak to at least ONE person!

We believed in sowing seeds, into the community - into strangers, some who were so willing to come, and there was one girl who exchanged phone numbers with one of our Sunnydalers and would be coming down! Imagine, if we had not seen the potential of these 20 minutes after supper, we would not have the opportunity to meet these 12 or so people and to give them the handbill.

According to sales statistics, out of every 100 handbills given out, there might be only 2.5 % of responses. But imagine, if these 2 or 3 people got saved, and you were the one to pass them the handbill, to tell them about Jesus after a busy workday or even a weekend night, wouldn't it be just so worth it? I hope that all of us catch this positive attitude of reaching out ferociously - it is good to be ON THE BALL for Jesus!

I shared / invited my msn friend to come for Good Friday - 14th April. God actually used what he said to speak to me. My friend asked me, what is happening on that date - which I mentioned, "Oh, it's Good Friday..." He said - everyday is good friday! (Reason being that it's the weekend!) But... hey Sunnydalers, it's TRUE! Every friday can be a good friday, a good opportunity to share with the oikos that we have the ability to meet with, on friday...

This friday, is it a GOOD friday for you?

Continue to pray! win! And nuture, I'm really proud of the tenacity of faith that we have!
