Its actually a song by jesus culture. Very nice.
I spent my saturday doing abit of community work. Helped by distributing stuff and talking to people. I spent 45 minutes talking to a 59 year old man living in a 1 room flat. Something I noticed, people need to be needed. They need to be wanted by somebody and if you take that away things start to get weary.
Its a chain reaction, this fatherless nation. I'll talk about it another time.
So we really talked about everything. I don't know if its something about my face but people seem to trust me so I guess thats why he mentioned everything. We even talked about fishing.
Oh yes we conversed in chinese. You be must thinking OMG THAT WAS DIFFICULT. But I could reply him and he understood what I was talking about. Must be the prayer I said before talking to him =D.
He believes that he cannot go to a church because his gods will strike him down and he will die. He mentioned something about the yang being higher then his. I told him I wouldn't force him I just wanted to talk.
He also said other church people had spoken to him before. And they told him very harshly (or so he said) that there is no such thing. I guess the firmness they had was impressive but it left such a mark on him that he has more or less shut his heart.
Let you tell you the heart of old people are shut very close. Really need alot of faith and prayer and really need the touch of God before anything can happen.
The amazing thing when I left that place was I didn't leave discouraged and I didn't leave feeling "man its impossible....."
I think its good because it reflects that I'm starting to learn to trust.
