AiG Mission Trip
First of all, I would like to thank my parents for paying for the trip. I would also like to thank my family and church family for all of their prayers for our safety and that many people would turn to Christ though our work.
There were 110 people that came to witness from 16 States, Canada and one lady from Ireland. Our group was sponsored by an organization called Answers in Genesis. They are a group that promotes creationism and science in accordance with the Bible. They have sponsored mission trips to the last 5 Olympics. The first 2 days that we were there, we had the privilege of listening to the president of AiG, Ken Ham. The next 7 days, we went out on the streets and passed out tracts. The tracts were great, and they were written in 7 different languages including: Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, and Spanish, French and of course, English. Our whole group, with the help of some locals, was able to pass out 91,400 tracts. Even though I did not get to personally lead anyone to Christ, I was able to share the Gospel with many people. About 5 people made professions of faith (and I am sure many more that we don’t know about) though the work that we did in Vancouver. Of course, it was actually God’s work.
One of the most memorable times was when we had passed out all our English tracts one day and all we had left were some wordless bracelets. A young woman approached me and wanted to know what we were giving out. Well, since we were out of tracts, I gave her a bracelet and was able to explain the Gospel using it. She seemed happy about what I had shared with her and said that she would read her Bible when she returned home. She could not talk for very long, because she was on her way to a game or something. I pray that she accepted Christ.
I thank the Lord that I was able to go share the Gospel with people in Canada during the Olympics and I pray that I will be able to go to the summer Olympics in London, England in 2010.
