It was dry and warm today, which is always a blessing. Part of Shrewsbury were flooded so there was less to go around. I didn't meet any mormans today, but i did witness to athiests and satanists.
 
After i had gone around the town i met up with Allan, Tony and Andy, who joined us today. It was a joy to see them. God has been moving mightily in our lives and has brought Allan, Tony and myself together to Shrewsbury to form a evangelism team. They are very open to the law in evangelism and encourage my imput in there preaching. Which is a huge blessing when you think they are in there forties and fifties and have preached on the streets for decades. I am in my twenties and have been street fishing for less than two years. God is good.
 
Tony has mentioned to me that God told him to listen to me, that i will teach him how to preach the full gospel properly. He has preached, as i said for years. I have not yet open air preached. This is humility on his part, praise God that God has answered my prayers for labourers. Please pray for this team. They are not perfect, we are not perfect, but we are learning all the time.  
 
We were joined by Andy today, a ex soldier. He is more reserved and tends towards the modern gospel more. But i have had a chance to reason with him today and gave him "Hells best kept secret".  I pray God will transform him through this teaching.  
 
The atmosphere has been one of tension the last couple of weeks. I was heckled by the young kids that hit Allan last week while i was walking around the town. They seem quite friendly with me at the moment, maybe it is because i am nearer there age.  
 
We went straight for it today. we started handing out tracts and Tony started talking to gangs of young people.  He has the ability to get the kids talking. They usually start asking for an intelligence test. and then i am into the conversation. I spoke to athiests, satanists, and alot in between today. They were silenced under the law. They had alot of questions and i answered them with God's help. It is true that the holy Spirit brings to mind the information you need to know as you witness. I have learned it, and he pops it into my mind. Praise God!
 
The satanists had t shirts attacking God. They knew alot of the truth, and shock horror they had a "christian background".  they knew the gospel, and knew where i was going. I  put the law on them and they ended the converstion after a while. They were definetely convicted. they reveled in the idea of going to hell, but did show some concern when they saw there sin and the reality of hell. I spoke to three young girls. they are hard to witness to because they are so young, but they get it when it is explained in detail.
 
We spoke to loads today. i made a good contact with a pastor from a church in shrewsbury. he is organising an event for those that witness. they go, get encouraged and share there experiences to other christians. He was blown away by the full gospel. He saw God not me. people are used to the weakness of the modern gospel.
 
I had a conversation with an interlectual. He put God on trial. I answered his questions, they got quite deep. It is easier when you know you can go back forwards from the interlect to the conscience.  
 
Allan and Tony open air preached again. The kids thought about attacking but were put off my a community support officer. It was biblical and powerful.
 
I also had a question and answer session with four or five young lads. they held nothing back. God gets all the glory, he gave me all the answers. He empowered me to witness. People do not believe i am shy when they see me on the streets, because God takes over and he is as bold as a lion. I am terrified in myself. wow, what a God we serve. I see that he must take over, i must decrease, he must increase. What power there is in the true gospel.
 
please pray for direction for the team and for the salvation of the people. But most of all for God to be glorified.
 
God bless you all
