Street evangalism

Yesterday, I went out for my first "on the job training" of the evangelism class.
We went to SMU (Singapore Management University) to try to find some students who were willing to listen to the gospel.
So anyways, we went there and there were students break dancing, chatting, and studying hard in a big group. All very unapproachable.
We were trying to find people who were alone or just in a group of two and looked liked they had time for a chat.
I was glad I was with my trainer and not doing this by myself.
we prayed before we began.
We did end up finding a few, but realized they were either Christians already, or unwilling to listen, uninterested in hearing the gospel.
we then saw this old man (lady?) sitting on the steps, finding shelter from the rain.
So we went on to try to talk to him about Jesus.
He turned out to be a Buddhist, but goes to churches sometimes, just to get food.
So I was to observe as my trainer went through the gospel with him, from grace, to man, to God to Jesus, and then to faith. Using analogies along the way to illustrate the points with some transitions to connect the points and diagnostic questions to start up the conversation...(I really wish I had read ahead and prepared more before talking about the gospel with my grandma... feels like I really gave her a half butt gospel presentation in comparison).
Anyways, it felt really good when the old man was willing to listen, and pondered what we told him, but a bit discouraging when in the end, he stuck with his Buddhist beliefs. He always tried to sidetrack onto Buddhist teachings, but my trainer did a good job at keeping the topic on course, not letting him take it astray. My trainer normally seems soft spoken, but when talking about God, he had more command in his voice and more light in his eyes. He was on fire as they would say. Animated and intensely concentrated when talking about Jesus, like a man who was sure of what he was talking about. So just like that the seeds have been planted with the old man, the old man can see that we are sincere about what we talk about. We left him with a track of information and contacts. Afterwords my trainer stepped aside with me to pray for him after wards.
All in all, It was a very taxing experience, and I am left with a daunting task of doing the same thing in the future as my trainer just did. If you think about it though, the Lord has led me to this point, given me this great opportunity. He'll be with me to finish the good work he has started with me! Can't believe he choose someone like me who is "un-good" with words. It was also kind of special that my trainer seemed bad with words as well hehe XD
Apparently, my trainer told me that these kind of street evangelism is more for our own training. Evangelizing, or visiting contacts who you already know are much more effective. This makes sense.
ahh so late. going to bed to keep my sleeping schedule...
