Germany – Reaching Brazil!?!?

Recently, the Pentecostal churches in Dresden, Germany teamed up to host an outreach group to their city. AGWM Personnel, Michael Tyler relates the following experience during that afternoon.
“I was sitting with two teens from the outreach team when a group of five young men, obviously tourists, sat down next to us. They were not speaking German so we decided to see if they spoke English. It turned out that they did. They were students visiting from the Canary Islands and from Brazil. They were taking in the city sights and had stopped to enjoy the music, some sunshine, and to watch the presentation, but they had no idea what it was about. So they asked us if we knew what was going on. It opened a great door for us to share the Gospel with them.
The guy who had started the conversation with me had some questions about Jesus and he listened to what I shared, but after a few minutes he was done. He thanked me and got up to leave. He told his friends to follow him, but as he stepped away from me, three of his friends jumped forward and almost pushed him out of the way to continue a conversation about Jesus. I knew they had been standing there all along, but I didn’t know how intently they had been listening.
The three of them all had profound questions and I was thrilled to sit there and explain the Gospel to them. One of them decided he wanted to go home, read more of this Bible and to think about what he had learned. Another said he was a Christian already, but was thankful I could answer some big questions for him. The third man had no religious background at all, but told me he had been seeking the truth for some time. As he got up to leave, he told me he thought our conversation was a divine opportunity. I agree…After all, its not every day that a Brazilian college students sits down next to an American pastor in the middle of a German tourist destination to spontaneously hold a conversation about the life Jesus. No, I can’t imagine that it is anything but divine.”
