Yesterday my parents, adrian and myself went for the evangelistic dinner. My parents understood the message and felt that it was meaningful. Though they did not accept but I know God's word was deposited in them. I had assurance from God that He is at work. They were very open to it. I also bought a cd with someone reciting some values from the bible accompanied by "teo chew" musical arrangements, it was quite nice as it make Christianity and Jesus less western. It was really something my parents could identified with. (Just had dinner with my parents at their home and my dad asked me to play the CD!!!! I think bit by bit, little by little the word will get in.) I shared with my dad and told him, it's ok to believe and take it one step at a time.
I shared with him how I recalled very vividly that when I was much younger, I thought very hard over my salvation. All the kids will usually put up their hands to 'accept' Jesus in their lives except me (i went to a christian meeting at my block called the Good News Club). I had no problem with being the odd one out because I seriously considered what my parents said about not becoming christians. I believed in the bible and I believed in Jesus at that young age, for me, my barrier was not making my parents angry and that's why i chose not to commit. I am sure, my dad has the same reservations e.g. what would his brother and sisters say if he really converted... I pray that God will remove this imagined barrier and help him and my mum come to that decision one day which I believe will be very soon.
Just now I asked him if he believed in Jesus, he nodded his head. I hope one day, Lord, that he will nod his heart and invite You into his Life. Lord You can make it possible and I believe.
