Praise God! He is worthy to be praised!
I want to share with you what the Lord did last Saturday
when we went to Chinatown in Chicago,
and in the days after.
My husband and I were coming back from his work, and we went
to Chinatown to buy some food. God used that
time for my husband to distribute tracts translated into Chinese to give to the
Chinese people there. Some were receptive, and some were not, but praise God
for that open door to share the gospel with people. My husband met the owner of
one of the food shops there who is a Christian. It was a blessing to know Him
as a Christian who loves the Lord and he shared with us the words of God that
were written in Chinese on the wall of his store. We praised God for that
because Chinese customers will go to their shop, will read that Word, and it
might be a way for them to come to know the Lord.
On our way back from Chinatown that day, my husband brought
me to a neighborhood he used to live in in Chicago. But God put it on my husband’s heart
to visit some Christian friends he knew from there to encourage them. So God
led us to visit them, and when we went there, we felt that they really needed hope
and encouragement. We praised God because He used that time for His Word to be
preached, to reach out to His people who need to be strengthened by His Word.
My husband read the Word of God in 1 Peter and God’s Word
was very powerful. It encouraged them when they heard it. We sang worship songs
and Christmas songs for the Lord. All us were blessed. The mom and daughter who
are my husband’s friends said that we were used by God to bring the light into
their house.
Sometimes there are people who are hopeless, depressed, and
afflicted by life’s circumstances. We, as Christians, must have the heart for
people like them and obey the voice of God who is urging us to be used by Him
in encouraging and praying for them.

Last night we went to a nearby gym. When we got to where we
were going to work out, there were some teenaged boys who were there and
talking. The Lord led my husband to pass out to some of them tracts that are
made to look like million dollar bills.
The boys were surprised and one said, “Oh, he gave us money.
Why is he giving us money?”
Another boy sitting on the stairs said, “No, he gave us more
than that. He gave us God.”
When my husband heard that, he went to the boy sitting on
the stairs and asked him, “What did you say?” The boy was a little bit scared
because my husband’s voice is loud and firm. The boy thought he’d said
something wrong.
But then the boy said,” I said you gave us more than money.
You gave us God.”
Then my husband said, ‘Oh yes, you’re right, man!” The door
was open for the gospel to be preached. Praise God He made a way!
My husband began to preach the Word of the Lord to the boys
and they were listening to him. While he was doing that, I was silently praying
that the Lord would touch the hearts of those young boys so that they will come
to know the Lord as their savior.
We as Christians are called by God to preach the Word of God
to the lost. We never know when or where the Lord will use us as His
instrument. I want to encourage everyone to share the gospel, to give some
tracts to people whom you meet.
This is the task God has commanded us to do in Matthew
28:19-20, to:
“Go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
You never know what the tracts you will give can do for the
life of the person who receives it. God bless you, brethren!
