Kingdom Building


Saturday had us repeating the youth program we did in the North in a new location, and it was packed with young people eagerly awaiting to hear from us. We all spoke on the different topics relating to our theme of building for God, corner Stone, Living Stone etc, and how we connect to God thru Jesus. Our means of getting to heaven is thru Christ and we got teams to build ladders thanks to Pas. Antony of HBC who loaned us some visual aids. The end had me summarising the different points the team had made and preaching the gospel, following which 60 young people made a decision to accept Jesus.


That night we went off to a new location in a rural community for our second planned open air gospel outreach. We met under a make shift tented building with the music so loud it was hard to set up the audio visual aids we had prepared. We think around 350 adults and children came which was truly amazing with other standing by in the background. 


There was no real opposition this time PTL other than the power went out which threw me as much of this was intend to be visual. Roger came down onto the floor and joined me and said what we should pray for?  (which was timely) and he encouraged me by praying for the Lord to bring back the power so we could continue, as a number of other technical difficulties had arisen earlier. Within a short while enough power came back on for our needs and I began from Genesis and ended up preaching about hell, a subject I had not done before!
 


There were so many responses to the call that around 85 people came forward… PTL. Victory over the enemy made it all worthwhile! Then we began praying in earnest for groups of people that I called out and who responded by a show of hands, from sickness, to needing peace, to addiction etc. A profitable time was had and we were much encouraged!
