Someone asked if there was such a thing as gangster evangelism. And Vincent said no. And he asked then what am i doing evanglising in a gang. I couldnt give him an answer on what i was doing exactly due to the circumstances. And i know he reads my blog. So this is my answer. No there isnt such a thing as gangster evangelism. As in you go into gangs to spread the gospel. Nope. Which i think there has been some misundertsandings on what i was doing. For example, to reach out to the Buddhist, do you join buddhism so you can evangelise to them? Yes there is no doubt i am evangelising to the gangsters. But i am not doing it as a gangster who is joining them. I am doing it as someone who has quit the old ways and i am spreading the gospel using my old ties with them. You may say that i am not trained and i am not qualified to evangelise. Then can i ask if you have to be in SBC to spread the gospel and move the chairs for a service? I am doing it because i know what my faith is and i know the great commision. And i am not joining a gang so as to evangelise. So this is what i am doing. To save a person who has fallen into a deep hole, do you jump in yourself to save them? Maybe evangelise might be too strong a word. Lets just say spreading the gospel. Well, i am not standing up high giving sermons to them nor am i claiming any leadership over them. I am just telling them the basics of our faith. I am not writing this to show off what i am doing. I am writing this so as to clear any misunderstandings on what other people are saying about me. I understand not all of my ways are perfect and i wun deny it. But i am learning. I understand there are still things i do which are offending. I understand that i have the urge to use violence most of the time. But i am fighting against it.
