And it's really surprising actually how many people

00:03

are open to talking about faith.

00:06

My name's Christine and this is my story.

00:09

I believe that God's placed us all where we are for a reason

00:14

and I think that if I don't share my faith

00:19

with the people that I've been put in contact with

00:21

then maybe nobody else will

00:23

because maybe they don't know any other Christians.

00:27

So, at work they kind of know that I'm Christian

00:31

and often I just get into really good conversations

00:34

with people and I've been able to invite people

00:37

along to events at my church.

00:41

So, a friend of mine who I worked with

00:45

met this girl who was moving to the UK

00:47

and he connected her with me

00:50

because she didn't know anybody in the UK.

00:52

So, I invited her to church,

00:54

so she came to church the next day.

00:57

She just kept coming.

00:59

I introduced her to friends of mine there.

01:03

After she'd been here for two years

01:05

she had to go back to Japan,

01:07

and just before she left she told me

01:09

that she'd become a Christian.

01:11

God makes things happen in ways

01:14

that you don't expect.

01:16

There was one time when I was on my way

01:19

to a friend's house for dinner

01:20

and I decided to catch a cab,

01:23

and he started talking to me about where I was from,

01:26

and I told him that I was from Australia,

01:29

so he started asking if I ever get lonely here,

01:34

and that was just a great opportunity

01:35

to start talking about my church family,

01:38

and then he started asking me lots of questions

01:40

about my faith and being a Christian,

01:44

and so I was really happy to chat with him

01:46

about it and then when he dropped me off

01:48

I gave him this book

01:50

and he was really open to receiving it

01:53

so I did not see that coming at all.

01:56

I haven't always been confident in sharing my faith.

02:00

I guess in the past I'd been a bit worried

02:02

about what other people would think,

02:05

that they might think I'm bit of a weirdo

02:08

but as I've grown and I've come to know

02:11

Jesus better

02:14

and understood and just grasped his love for me

02:17

and what He's done

02:19

it's really built up a conviction in me

02:24

and just helped me be more confident.

02:27

I find great comfort in knowing

02:29

that Jesus says that He's with us.

02:33

When he gave us the great commission

02:35

He said that He'll be with us always,

02:38

and I believe that includes

02:40

when we're talking to people about Him.
