A man in Sydney, Australia, has done something that is almost unheard of in the Christendom.
According to God Reports, the man named Mark shocked a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) team member by asking for the phone number of Jesus Christ, after hearing of him for the very first time!
Blair Coyle of YWAMâs Music & Arts Discipleship Training Staff said he was shocked by the whole conversation, adding that it proves that people are hungry for the Word of God.
Here is how the conversation went, after Blair introduced himself to Mark.
âWhat do you do?â Mark asked. âI travel around and tell people about Jesus,âBlair said.
âWho is Jesus?â,Mark asks. Blair goes on to describe his personal relationship with the Son of God, after the shock wears off, adding âHe speaks to me.â
To this, Mark says, âWait, Jesus is alive? Jesus speaks to you? How does this work? What is the last thing He spoke to you?â
Blair responds by saying that Jesus sent them to the Blacktown station to share the good news.
He goes on to share the whole Gospel with Mark, who was âcompletely blown awayâ and had a lot of questions.
Afterwards, Blair asked if he could pray with him. Mark smiles, then agrees.
âWhat are you feeling?â,Blair asked, after praying. âI feel a warmth inside,â Mark replied.
âWhat youâre feeling is Godâs Spirit touching your heart,âBlair explained.
To this explanation, Mark asked, âJesus wants to give me joy, peace, hope, and a new life? He wants to be my comforter and my friend? He wants to talk with me?â
After Blair nodded, he said, "Sounds like a great deal! How do I receive this? Do you have his phone number and contact details?â
âHe is right here with us,"Blair said, after laughing.
Mark goes on to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior, after Blair prayed with him.

Afterwards, Blair said his meeting with Mark made a profound impression.
âI couldnât believe what had just happened. Never before had I talked to someone who was so open to the gospel as Mark had been. During our conversation, he made it clear to me that his impression of organized religion was that it was simply a money making scheme. He obviously had heard a lot of negative things about monetary misuse in the church, which had formed his opinion on religion as a whole.
When I told him that I donât get paid, and I was simply there to bless him and share Jesusâ love with him, he was dumbfounded. My encounter with Mark showed me that people in this world are hungry for the Gospel. People are longing for a raw and powerful experience of a loving God. God is looking for individuals who are willing to follow His call and step out in obedience. Are you willing to lay down your life, so that others may know the hope that is available to them?â, he asked.
