St E report 04.10.08

“Every person without Christ is a mission field, and every Christian is a missionary.”

What a reminder for us all as we step out this very night to declare His word that we are all missionaries for the Lord and our mission field can be found everywhere if we are willing to ask the Lord to lead. It has been a great night for Teresa, Abigail, Malcolm and Jessie as we saw the Lord work in the hearts of men.

Our amazing Lord led Teresa and Abigail to this young girl who is so willing to hear of His word. The young girl commented, “Thanks for sharing” after the full gospel was being shared. Indeed she is so attentive and willing to hear, which the working of His Spirit is evident, praise the Lord for open doors to declare His word and for her to be appreciative towards Teresa and Abigail. Pray that this young girl’s Christian friend can be an encouragement to her as she mentioned that: “I admired my good friend’s faith in God.”

The Lord then led them both to hand out tracts to people and praise God for friendly people along the streets who readily took the tract and prayerfully will read it. The Lord’s word is powerful, may He speak to the hearts of men as they read the tracts with His words in it.

Thank God for leading Malcolm and Jessie to three young men who are looking for jobs. They’re browsing the classifieds when they were approached by out team. Thank God for their open hearts and liberty in sharing. The guys even asked questions pertaining to the gospel. Praise the Lord for one guy who initially felt that he is good enough to go to heaven but after our witnessing, this young man said: “I know I will go to hell.” Thank the Holy Spirit for doing the convicting work in his heart, may the Lord continue to stir in him the reality of hell and his need of a Saviour. Thank the Lord for working in their hearts and may Jesus Christ be their Savior in time to come. Let us continue to pray for them that they’d expressed interest in visiting us. We welcome all visitors for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Praise the Lord that He is not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance! It is such a blessing and privilege to simply share His word to many, and be a mouthpiece for our almighty father!
