I enjoyed telling the story\u00a0of\u00a0the prodigal son from Luke Chapter 15. After I tell the story, the children instantly know which\u00a0son\u00a0was obedient\u00a0and\u00a0which\u00a0son\u00a0wasn&#8217;t. Many children commit their lives to God after hearing the story. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On my\u00a0way back and forth to\u00a0school I pass out tracks at the bus station and sometimes will evangelize to Buddhists. While I was evangelizing one day I met\u00a0Mr. Kui Kui, he is a\u00a0very friendly\u00a0man.\u00a0Mr. Kui Kui\u00a0has HIV and I told him about Jesus. After we finished talking I wasn&#8217;t sure I would ever see him again but I ran into him again recently. He was visiting the Yangon Region from southern Shan State, I invited him\u00a0to have\u00a0dinner together and told\u00a0him\u00a0about the eternal security in Christ and the free gift of Salvation. I encouraged him and taught\u00a0him\u00a0as much as I\u00a0could in the short time together.\u00a0That night he told me\u00a0\u201cNow I taste the security in Christ\u00a0and\u00a0have eternal security.&#8221; He was happy, \u201cNow I understand the assurance of salvation in Christ, many years, I\u00a0have been\u00a0trying to get to heaven\u00a0through\u00a0my human effort and sometimes, I think I will go to heaven if I did nothing wrong\u201d, he said. I thank God\u00a0he was\u00a0touched by God and\u00a0experienced\u00a0a change of mind, and can\u00a0experience what it means to be led\u00a0by the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Sincerely, Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cold and rainy season is almost over,\u00a0which\u00a0allows me to spend more time sharing the Gospel\u00a0because\u00a0I evangelizing outdoors.
