Bus Evangelism & Year 13

Imagine that you hop on a bus from Wollongong Uni to Fairy Meadow or another station nearby. You hop on and sit next to a complete stranger with the intent of sharing the gospel with them. 

This is a variation of walk up evangelism called ‘bus evangelism’. 

It’s definitely a challenge but totally worth it so that more people can hear about the good news of Christ!

A few weeks ago I had this very situation while visiting the Wollongong Uni Bible Group for a Year 13 evangelism training day.

2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2 (NIV)

I have found Year 13 to be so encouraging and helpful for my faith walk with God. 

The fellowship and spiritual growth has been so good!

In a couple of months we’re going for a 3 week long mission trip to Fiji where we’ll be sharing God’s word to many churches, families and communities in many different locations throughout the south island of Fiji. 

This will also include a lot of walk up evangelistic situations which will be really challenging but also really important. 

A few of weeks ago we had an intensive where we learnt about the different culture of Fijians. It was so good because it helped us understand how we can better share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people from Fiji.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

Thanks be to God for his gospel and the privilege it is to share this news with the whole world!
