Invitation to my Grandma!

Thank God! My grandma agreed to come to my church’s evangelistic event this coming Saturday! I was praying before I called her this afternoon to ask if she was free & wanted to come for this event.

For the first two tries, no one answered the phone. But at the third try, the phone wasn’t answered for quite some time too. I was walking back to the office after coming out from the toilet, so I told myself that I would wait till I reached the bottom of this flight of stairs, then put down the phone if nobody answered.

Just when I reached the bottom of the stairs, my grandma picked up the phone! I quickly walked up that flight of stairs & went back inside the toilet to continue to call. I didn’t want to be talking loudly at the staircase, since there is a lot of noise coming from downstairs due to the construction across the road.

Grandma was surprised that I called & we chatted a little bit, before I asked if she is interested in coming for this event at my church this Saturday evening. She thought for a few seconds, before saying that she can come! I was so happy! This is the first time I’m asking my non-Christian relative to come for an evangelistic event at my church! And she’s my most treasured grandma…

And guess what? When I told my Mum that I had invited grandma, I asked her if she wanted to come & my Mum immediately agreed! Wow! I was so happy! Now, it’s left with Aunty Katherine. She’s quite a devote Buddhist, so I’m quite worried if she wouldn’t want to come, or even discourage my grandma from coming. But I’m praying about it & will leave it to God to speak to their hearts.

As for me, this is a bold step of faith & I’m glad that I took it!

Dear God, please prepare their hearts & the way before them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
