LEARNING TO LIVE ON EVEN LESS AND SOME LESSONS LEARNT!!!

Learning to live on even less! And some lessons learnt!!! First for some really good news.. Yesterday we went to see the Head Man in the City who is ultimately responsible for our situation. He was extremely nice and helpful. He returned us the 55 Rosaries!! Thank you Jesus!!!The fact that we have gotten away with with such a high profile existence getting out sometimes 20 Rosaries every day has been nothing short of a miracle. BUT some enemy has complained probably an anti christian and so now we are allowed to go to low profile areas and personally witness to people keeping our Rosaries concealed and just using our literature in the first instance. Our approach now goes something like this...."May we ask you a question?" If we get an affirmative then we say.."Do you believe in Jesus Christ?" Depending on the answer we adapt a little but our goal is to try and get people to ask Jesus into their hearts. This we do by saying something like..." One day we all have to die and the bad news is, the I Pod stays behind and the cat and the dog and your friends and family...But if you repeat this little prayer to ask Jesus to come into your heart...Dear Jesus, please come into my heart and forgive my sins and fill me with Your Holy Spirit of LOVE and please give me the free gift of eternal life...Then you take something good with you into eternity" Many say the prayer and many say they will say it later and take the small brochure with them. Some of course refuse and we just have to smile and say Jesus loves you and let them go unless they want to talk more. After listening to these kind of people many times they will then repeat the prayer. We also explain that when they use this prayer with other people then they become missionaries too. Before they leave we explain that we live from small donations and would they like to help? We also point to the Rosary hanging around our neck and say that if they are prepared to give a donation of 4 to 5 Euro then they can choose a FREE Rosary that is concealed in our pockets. This way we are getting out about 5 Rosaries a day and lots of small donations of 20 to 50 cents. We have not perfected this yet and so out daily income has been halved but I believe that as we learn this new method we will get better at it. IN THIS INTERIM PERIOD, IF YOU COULD SEND US A LITTLE EXTRA HELP, THEN THAT WOULD BE SUPERB! My new friend Jeff or just Jeff has given me some very good tips, not only writing me that brilliant article which is changing my life, THE RIGHT CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE which hopefully you have already read, but showing me how to keep in touch with Jesus 24/7/365. In 1st Thessalonians Ch 5 v 17 it exhorts us to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Jeff does this by talking to Jesus all the time. Even over the silliest and smallest of matters. I have heard this before but he reminded me to do this again and maybe you would like to try too???? Jesus is our friend and is deeply interested in all we do, think, and act upon. Give it a try and as I ask God for more financial help to feed my 6 kids who live in Germany please would you consider being a part of that help so that we can continue to do our Low Profile activities for HIM in Cologne Germany. GBY and KGFG love michael jaffray and Irmgard king
