A
score of young cotton-chippers will never forget when Richie
and Les landed on them on a Saturday night in December near
Goondiwindi, Queensland for carols. They were relaxing after
a long hours in the cotton, but with enough bounce to throw
around ideas and questions about Christianity. Richie chuckled
as he sang and they joined in boisterously. It was called
atmosphere.
Les
showed them how to 'answer-any-man-that-asks-you-according-to-
.....' and when it was all over, an air or worship and awe
filled the hostel where they live. They quietly sang 'Into
My Heart' and next morning testified of God's answering their
need and prayers. Richie prayed with an Andrew and Les counselled
Nathan. Chrissie claimed she will train for missionary work
to Muslims, and Peter is praying for God's guidance where
he will serve. Leaders encouraged others, and invited the
evangelists to come back.
This
was one of the functions on patrol inland with schools, clubs,
a hospital, churches, and events in six townships, and an
outdoor carols courtesy of area clergy. They flew the Piper
Lance Vh-JNV 12 hours through three states.
