How to preach to 30+ PJ's in less than 12 hours

Bible?  Check.  
Earth globe?  Check.
 We'll discuss the globe later. 

   

PJ Lessons?  Check. "We are ready!" They have pre-assigned paragraphs to read and comment on.
These girls are amazing!  

**************************************************************************
         On the road by 8am.  
1st study 9:15am.  
         Usually only the wife studies.            

But today the husband agreed to study for 10 min! 

Meanwhile, Niel conducts a lesson with the kids. 
                                  
10:00am done! 
Hurry! next study is only available until 10:30am

 *********************************************************
Note:  Some PJ's are unaware that our earth does not sit on elephants or bulls or tortoises etc.  
************************************************

Ironically, this lady just happened to select lesson #4 from IGW (Is the Bible scientifically accurate?) 
Bam! Out comes my globe.  

                                          
              "Yes!" she laughs, 
              "My grandma use to say that the earth
 is sitting on the horns of 8?12? bulls!"  

                                       
The husband joined us for 5 min while watching the Hindi video on how can we be sure the Bible has not been changed?
(It shows the myths of earth sitting on bulls/elephants etc, we just watched that section) 

                       
And the child followed. . 

**********************************************************************

10:30am
2 sister-in-laws.
Later that afternoon, Niel ran into one of the husbands who told him, "I already know everything about that brochure, my wife tells me every week what she studies with you guys."
**********************************************

One more study and then it's lunch time.
"Who made Satan." Next topic.
We've preached to 10 people so far.
During lunch, we bumped into 4 PJ men
and placed tracts with them.  
************************************************


Afternoon study.  Her question:
"Why is there such a struggle to do the right thing?
How can we be truly happy?"
I study with the lady while the kids watch Caleb videos.
********************************************************

This lady got into a motorcycle accident today.
So cancelled her study, understandably so.
But we ran into her on our way to her neighbors house
 and ended up chatting outside for 30 minutes after I told her to sit down just for 5 minutes!
"I know god saved me today, but sometimes I wonder. . .does he really care about me?. . .me personally .  . . no, I don't think so"
18 people so far. 

*******************************************************

                                     
Last study of the day. Only the wife studies. 
The husband would come in and out.

Then the son, watching a Caleb video on creation in Shahmukhi.
Yes, I did use my globe.
It was amazing to see their eyes light up when they realize that
the only thing holding our planet, while spinning like crazy in mid space is gravity.
She said, "and we don't feel a thing. . ." 
  
And his friends came along . . .
Her final response:
 "So if creation reveals life, that god made everything to help us breathe/live life, so then why do we die?"
                                                                                               


By the end of the day, counting informal witnessing, plus a Philippino maid working for a PJ, use to be an unbaptized publisher, we counted 31 persons in all.  
It was a good day.
Home by 9:30pm.
