Last week on Evangelism

First of all i wanna praise our speakers. Michael and Kaylinne came from Oklahoma, and they're in their 40s maybe 50s, and they pretty much lived there their whole lives, raise 5 kids there and very comfortable in their community and church.
The kids have left the house, and they all of a sudden felt called to South Africa. They get this vision and word from God, visit once, and then move here to start this ministry in a HUGE township just near to me.
It's incredible because you think tha tmost missionaries start young, build their families around their travel and experiences within their place of service. No these sweet followers of God, who never REALLY knew what pure evangelism was in their quaint town came across the world to bring others to His Kingdom. WOW I'm just appalled at their efforts and excited to share that to others like my grandparents and even yes you dad, it's never too late or nothing you can't contribute.
Now their passion and efforts are changing this part of the world immensely. Their stories, singing, teaching, prayers, and overall ministry has just been a breath of fresh air.

Ok, so Evangelism: The desire of God to release the message of the Son of God.
Isaiah 58:6
What you want at the end of your life, are stories of the Holy Spirit and teh Message is anything but robotic!
--The Mystery--
We're still discovering this 'Jesus' by revelation of the H.S.
We still have ?s that agitate ourselves and always will...this Holy Spirit is what draws us
What did God do with me? We each have a story to tell...
Psalm 139 "You created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb."
This makes us think, How could God know me? He's God. He's so up high? There's 7 billion people in the world! This is a lack of complete comprehension of God's capacity, let this sink
WE ARE KNOWN! He knows the number of hairs on your head.
HE's Personal!

So we ended the day with the talk of evangelism on going out there into the world with the intent fo honoring Jesus! Make Him know to all! Going to the grocery store, the gym ;)
Most people have never had a single encounter of this mystery.
Think about it, we, you and I are carriers. We can and should carry the Truth, to those people out there who WANT to hear it!
Favor of the Lord, is a result of kindness and mercy of God.
Now this is where we ended our day with time to write down "our Story". This is and was so hard for so many, myself fully included.
This is the layout:
1. Before you met Jesus
2. How we met Jesus
3. Life after we met Jesus
What's yours?
