One of the american uni students I got to meet told me about how different it was over here in Australia. They couldn’t believe the number of non-Christians.
So I asked, “Aren’t there many non-Christians back home where you live?”
She answered — I kid you not — “Well, I only know of two in the town I’m from.” (Apparently it was a small American town, so it only had about 300,000 people in it.)
This girl had met more non-Christians in one day in Australia, than she had met in her ENTIRE LIFE. Now, I’m going to go out on a sceptical limb and say that not all of those “Christians” she met were actually Christian. In fact, she said herself that being in Australia had helped her see that many of her friends back home probably weren’t Christians – they just went to church.
Apart from being amazed, I couldn’t help thinking what happens in that town when the pastor preaches on “Evangelism”…
Bob and Terry get phone calls, letters, bibles, prayers, etc… from 299,998 people!?!
