Go For Souls

This weekend was fantastic! We had about 50 people dutring the nights and 30 during the day. The worship times were intense as most people forgot about the people on either side of them and solely focussed on God. The Holy Ghost was moving in a powerful way convicting, challenging and comforting people.

The outreach was great! It was so fun and challenged people to step up and speak out. We had open airs on a train which followed this pattern, Worship, Witness and Word followed by the team fishing the whole carriage before moving onto the next carriage. A few people yelled at us, most just tried to ignore us, one threatend to smash a bottle over our heads... The other teams did some street preaching outside shopping centres! Ive heard some grumblings leading into this and since this along the lines of "I wouldnt do it that way" or "As if that would work." So brace yourself to eat humble pie.

During the Saturday outreach 12 people decided to start following Jesus. 5 of them from the outreach we did on the train where we did open air meetings in the carriages, 6 of them from the street preaching at the shopping centre that we didnt get kicked out of, and one from the final night meeting! So next time you want to have a go at someone street preaching or acting weird for Jesus maybe start by being abit nicer and see what fruit they have first... And for the record most of the people preaching on the streets etc had never done it before. (Wow, 12 conversions of people we had never met before, lead to Christ by people who had never done this before... hmmm)

We praise God for each of the people that has decided to start following Jesus. For those playing at home and getting their comebacks ready this, here are the 4 C's of follow up we have implemented. Call. Catch up. Cell Group. Church.

Thank God Hes so full of grace!
