Can you please pray for me as I witness and share the gospel tomorrow, and for God to save my brother and cousin? I'm very close to both of them, and they both are unsaved.

My cousin actually did not grow up in a christian home, and I haven't been a great example most of my life (saying I was a Christian, while actually being a false convert), I'm not sure he's EVER heard the gospel articulated properly. The Lord's given me confidence that I can now do it, but not the boldness :shame... So please pray for me?
 
That's a very good thing to hear. We are :praying for you.
 
Thanks for the support! I had an AWESOME conversation with my brother today, even though I didn't get to talk to my cousin... I guess God's saying I'm not quite ready for him yet. But my brother seemed very convicted, haha. I started the conversation by asking him what he would tell someone who was going to die in 3 minutes, and was going to hell. And he couldn't explain a single bit of the gospel to me.. so I took him through the gospel and all kinds of theological things as the spirit led me. Verses just kept popping into my mind as if God was saying 'ok, now tell him about this'. In short, it was great :D I hope he retained what he heard, and that the devil didn't snatch the word away. Keep praying guys!

That's still great, you were hopefully able to reach your brother. When the time comes for you to go to your cousin I'm sure you will be filled with words from the Holy Spirit, and who knows...maybe your brother will be able to tell your cousin about any change he might experience.

Great thing to do, glad you are explaining what you know. You are delivering the message God wants us to.

Sounds like the Holy Spirit was guiding you. This is a great thing and helps with teaching and talking to anyone!

You have my prayers for you and your family! God Bless you for the spreading of His word!
