We gave out tracts last Saturday in Golders Green. Most people try to ignore you but here re ten that, for various reasons I interacted with. (I can't remember the order in which they came)
- The tract was entitle forgiveness and one woman simply said "we all need more of that" with which I could not disagree.
- An Algerian Muslim, keen to be friendly and convinced that our only hope is God's mercy but adamantly opposed to the idea that Jesus is anything more than a prophet.
- A lady from Nepal who I had thought was a Filipina.
- A lady we have known for many years who mostly sits under Charismatic ministry. I was glad to see her because the last time she was with us I had corrected her prayer.
- A Filipino who came to the house once to groom our dog. He said he was a believer too.
- The son of one of my very elderly members currently in hospital. It was good to hear about this member's situation face to face.
- I have never had this before but a teenage boy flounced past and said "I am gay" the implication being that he could not take my tract on forgiveness, although I said he was welcome to take it.
- A man who saw the tract and said "rubbish". I like to be quick on my feet and so I replied "So are you" - not exactly a Christian response, on reflection. What I meant was that we are all rubbish without Christ. I don't think he was offended.
- A young woman who I am sure was Jewish sat nearby and read the whole thing carefully. I wanted to interact with her after but she went, although I saw her later and she was urging her boyfriend to read it.
- A red haired Ukrainian lady called Aleksandra who said she was looking for a church to attend.
