I want to introduce you to Tan. We just met him a few weeks ago when he attended our recent Battle of the Bands outreach. Tan grew up in a Buddhist family, and although he came to the Battle to hear some good music and to compete for the prizes, he got something he never knew he needed.
For the first time in his life, Tan heard the gospel message, several times over the course of the evening. It was preached from the stage, played out in the various dramas the VBCI students put on, and testified about by our staff as bands got ready for their set in the background.
Something leaped on the inside of Tan, and the following Sunday he followed one of our youth leaders to the One Way church. He hasn’t missed a Friday or a Sunday since, and last week he joined Sawang and 10 other newcomers to the Victory Family camp,where he heard the gospel preached night and day for a week.
Tan couldn’t get enough, and bombarded Sawang and other leaders with questions like, “What is faith?” “What does this mean?” Sawang taught him that Jesus Christ is the One, true God of the universe, and that faith is believing and receiving what He did for each one of us on the cross.
Tan, and his father, are surprised at how nice Christians are, and Tan’s father only let his son come to camp because he believes Christians are “good” and wont drink.
Tan is the most vocal of a new group of young guys and girls who have connected with us through the Battle of the Bands outreach, but there are others, too, whose hearts are opening up to the Holy Spirit as He uses His people to point them to Jesus.
Please pray for Tan and for the
others to allow God to have His way in their lives.
