The 4 Questions Jesus Asked - by Amy Orr-Ewing
"I believe, help my un-believe"
"Why aren't you a Christian?"
Question 1:
John 1:38 “What do you want?"
They said, “Rabbi” “where are you staying?”
39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”
Question 2:
John 6:67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Question 3:
John 6:5 "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”
A story was told - the 5th copy of gospel in Iran

Vanishing Grace
some notes...
Vanishing Grace
p31
The priest Henri Nouwen learned humility on a mission trip to South America. He went expecting to pass on his wisdom to the poor and unenlightened. During his six-month stay, Nouwen concluded that a desire to save, whether from sin or poverty or exploitation, is one of the most damaging motives in ministry.
It makes all the difference in the world whether I view my neighbor as a potential convert or as someone whom God already loves.
p33
'Jay, I apologize for anything ever done to you in the name of God.'
These help me to rethink how am I to do evangelism; also during the RZIM the question asked to Amy Orr-Ewing's mom, "why aren't you a Christian?" a question... with dignity and respect.

Never allow the thought - "I am of no use where I am"; because you certainly can be of no use where you are not. Wherever God has dumped you down in circumstances pray, ejaculate to Him all the time. "Whatsoever ye ask in My name, that will I do." We won't pray unless we get thrills, that is the intensest form of spiritual selfishness. We have to labour along the line of God's direction, and He says pray. "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest."
