This week is report back week at YWAM Perth. Schools shared testimonies from outreach to nations such as Uganda, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Nepal and others.
Here's an amazing testimony from Laos:
"This one day in Laos, it was the three of us and we were about to go out and we decided to pray and we got a picture of a monk standing in front of some flag poles and Natalie got a word about a wounded heart. There was a temple down the road, across the street from a place with flagpoles, and so we were like "let's go there." We talked to a monk who didn't speak English but he went and found a monk who did. So we asked him, "Do you have time? Can we chat with you?" He was like "sure, sure." So we went into the temple. So we chatted with him a bit, asked him what he believed. Then Natalie just went for it and started talking about Jesus and at first he was really defensive, but then she started telling him about the word she got about a wounded heart and his whole face softened. And in the end we asked if we could pray for him and the Holy Spirit hit him and we got some scriptures for him and stuff. Then we gave him a Bible and said we'd come and visit him again... When we went back to visit, to see if he had any questions about what he'd been reading we found out he had been showing all the other monks the Bible and telling them all the stories and everything. Then we came back the last time to follow up with him and we asked him "do you want to accept Jesus?" And he did, so we prayed for him and he gave his heart to the Lord right there in the temple in front of this massive Buddha statue. He told us he wanted to accept Jesus the first time we came to visit. He said when we prayed for him that first time he saw a picture of Jesus welcoming him home. Then another time when we prayed for him he saw a picture of Jesus accepting him, hugging him."
