At the same time that the princess visited our ship a bunch of us STEPpers and a few others went to the downtown to sing some songs. At first we started in the large plaza in front of the Central World mall. We had asked one of the security guards for permission beforehand but two different guards came to as after a couple songs and asked us to move away. So we shuffled over to the stairs leading up to the plaza, and of course a few minutes later they shooed us onto the sidewalk where the tuk-tuk driver’s invited us. It was kind of an awkward location and being a Monday most people didn’t have time to hang around but there were some good things. We gave a Gospel of John to one man who said he would read it right there and ask some questions later. Our “STEPdad” Leonard had a long discussion with him.
His name, according to Leonard, was Hau. He said that in his life he doesn’t feel much joy and peace, but when he hears us singing he does feel good. In the end Leonard clearly explained the gospel to him and he understood the truth but he wasn't ready to change his heart just yet. There was another poor looking woman who took a Gospel from me and sat down and quietly read it the whole time we were singing. There was also another man who was probably a bit crazy who was laughing and clapping with us, he stuck around through all our songs.
There were a bunch of smaller encounters with passersby too. Perhaps our location and timing weren’t the best but I was happy with how it went. It is nice to have a group of people who are all willing to be fools for Christ.
