One of my teammates and I were out flyering by the big local Sainsbury's (grocery store chain) in Camden this afternoon. We were inviting families to the Easter egg hunt we're doing at the local parish next door to the store, as well as the joint Easter worship service that we're doing afterwards with other small churches in the area.
A lot of people took flyers and seemed interested. But one woman came right up to me, before she even saw the flyer and knew what I was handing out, and said, "I don't believe in God. I believe in myself." Then she walked away. I wasn't saying anything that would mark me as a Christian, and the flyers don't have massive print that says, "This girl believes in God." So how did she know what I was about? She then went over to the other side of the street and gave a piece of her mind to my teammate. He said it was a pretty discouraging conversation. How did she know to go right over to where he was? There were a TON of people along the street, and he wasn't saying anything, either, that'd say that he was flyering for a church. There is definitely a spiritual battle going on here.
