Day 2 in KL

So day 2 in KL. And what have we eaten? Roti canai with teh tarik, hainanese chicken rice, hokkien mee, char kway teow, to name but a few things.

Ha ha, this is almost turning into a food blog! Ok, onto some serious stuff…

Last night I sent out our prayer requests for the week, one of the requests was for us to be effective witnesses to our relatives in KL who aren’t Christians. Today we met up with one of Alvin’s cousins and spent most of the day with him. It was funny because when he rang us up last night he asked us what we would be doing today. Alvin told him he wanted to get a hair cut and go camera shopping, and his cousin said that he was intending to do exactly the same thing, so why not go together?! So he picked us up in the morning and we went off to the hairdressers.

In his car I found a Bible and also a book titled “What does the Bible teach us?” On looking into the book however I found that it was actually produced by the Watchtower society i.e. Jehovah Witnesses. I wasn’t sure if the stuff was his, so I asked and he said yes. He told us that he had been curious to find out about Christianity ever since coming back from the UK, when he stayed with one of his and Alvin’s uncle who is a Christian. He mentioned that he’d been to visit some charismatic churches, and some others which he found very boring. Then he came across this couple who were very well versed in “the bible” and who showed him a lot of care. He is currently meeting with them every week to study the aforementioned book. He asked us what we thought of it because he wasn’t sure. We told him what we knew of Jehovah’s witnesses, what they believe and how it is different from Christianity.

I guess the point of all this is that I want us all to pray for him. He is obviously searching and openly shared that he has a lot of questions to ask, and that he is trying to find a church that is suitable for him. We are hoping to bring him along with us when we go for the evening service on Saturday evening at DUMC. The church itself is a little far away for him to travel to, but hopefully they’ll be able to connect him up with one more local to him.
