Hi all,
Up coming is a Christian conference that my dad and I are going to. We have been going to it together for the past 6 years. Recently we have acquired an Italian student who is not a Christian. He hangs around me like a bug and it is hard for me to do what I normally do. In other words, he distracts me. I am not sure whether I should bring him along with us to the conference. I have been looking forward to this for a long time and it is a time where I feel really in touch with God. I am afraid that if I invite him he might distract me and I might not get as much out of the conference that I would like. I also think that I might feel more 'shamed' when i'm raising my hands and stuff. But if he did go it could be an opportunity for him to be saved. Does anyone have any advice on this? Cheers

Tell him that you are going to be apart of something that means a lot to you and that you will need to be undivided in your work there. If he agrees with you bring him along.

As someone who is already a Believer, I would say the opportunity to bring Him so he can learn is more important than you feeling comfortable.

I agree with Matt. Our job as disciples is to be making disciples, not enjoying our own walk with God and shutting out the world. This young man is going to hell, and you want to go to a conference for your own enjoyment?? Priorities!! This student will hear the gospel, and hopefully enjoy the fellowship and the presence of God.

Besides, it shows a real lack of trust in God. God promised that all things would work together for those who loved God. Why are you not trusting God to make this conference something so much more than your personal fun, but a possibility of someone coming to Christ, if not then, perhaps in the future?

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

"And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.[SUP]19 [/SUP]Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [SUP]20 [/SUP]teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Acts 28:18-20
