Breaking a Hundred

2013 February 26 (21)

Exhortation

It's Testify Tuesday! Wooooo!!! That means evangelism at Markville Mall at 6PM. Who's excited? I'm excited. Let's go, let's go!

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard from Philippians 2. Verse 10-11 says that one day "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

That day is coming. It is so close. Are you ready for it? Are your friends, coworkers, and neighbors ready for it? This is why I'm sharing the gospel tonight, to make sure the uncommon community I have in my church family can encompass more people. Brothers, sisters, what we have is so unique. We have Christ! Let's not keep it to ourselves.

Please, if there is "any affection and sympathy", look to the interests of these people as well. I'm going to Markville to do just that, as well as a few others. Will you come? Or will you pray? Will you live for that day? Will you live for God?

Family, let's do this together, for His glory! — with Mike Fenty.

Testimony

Tonight during evangelism, we talked to so many people. Also, we finally broke a hundred! That's more than one hundred people who had the gospel shared with them in a personal encounter, in less than 5 months! Some find an excuse to leave before they hear the whole thing, but... Most hear about their status as a sinner and the righteousness of God in Christ.

More than that, we had all these people come out. I feel very blessed to have Ben, Samantha, Jacqueline, Agnes, and Dorothy. Seeing God grow the team and put His fire in so many people is what evangelism is all about! I can't stress how you guys encourage me by just being there. And the prayer warriors out there, I thank my God for you too. You're the reason we had the good conversation with the Muslim guys, and those atheists, and the blind guy with the Mohawk. God's listening! So keep praying!

Evangelism isn't just about winning souls. It's about making disciples. It's about building up the church. And that's what we're doing every Tuesday.

Spreading the Seed

Exhortation

Evangelism on Testify Tuesday! 6PM at Markville Mall. Join us, or pray.

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard Pastor Paul preach about being a slave to righteousness or a slave to sin. What activities capture your attention? Is God at the top of our list of priorities? So many times in my life the answer would be no. We must remember that we've all fallen short of God's glory, as it says in Romans 3. Even our good deeds are considered as filth. We heard this week "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". Let us rejoice that we are no longer under the law, but under grace. That grace is not cheap for it was purchased by the blood of the lamb! Let's please God with our faith (Hebrews 11:6) and testify to the world about His goodness in our lives. "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" (Romans 10:14-15)...

Testimony

Praise God for the opportunities that he's provided for us to share the good news! Tonight Ben and I had Samantha, Jacqueline and Hope Linda join us! Thank you all for your prayers...we had a lot of opportunities to spread seed tonight and we can only pray that it fell on good ground. After all, the bible says that Paul planted, apollos watered, but it was God who has and always will give the increase!

God was Good

Exhortation

Evangelism on Testify Tuesday! 6PM at Markville Mall. Come, or pray. Please?

(I'm filling in for Tony again this week since he's somewhere in Asia relaxing with fam!)

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard Pastor Paul preach about grace, grace and more grace! Unless we first know that we have sinned against God and deserve the wrath to come, we cannot have the grace that Christ so kindly provides. Does sin rule over us? May it never be! This is not so with the world...they sin willfully! The gospel, through the Holy Spirit, is enough to convert desperate and dying men into new creatures. It is written in Romans 10:14-15 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they here without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" Preach the gospel in season and out of season. Be encouraged!

Testimony

God was truly good to Ben and I tonight. The night started off a bit weird and I was nervous as usual, but God gave both of us a boldness that could only be from Him. We got to share the gospel with Vernon and Pedro (2 Catholics) and Jeff (an agnostic). Then we spoke to Jamal and his friend Brad. Brad told us that he had never really understood the gospel before tonight and that he understood exactly what he has to do to be in a right relationship with Christ! Please pray especially that the Holy Spirit would work in the life of Brad and all the others that we spoke to. We even bumped into a guy who's in the armed forces who I had a chance to speak with. He recognized me, which was amazing, but even more amazing he reminded me about the gospel message I told him...his name is Kevin and I would also hope that this second meeting would not be in vain. Tonight the gospel was preached and all glory goes to God!

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard Pastor Paul preach about grace. "But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many." - Romans 5:15. The wrath we deserve is not what we, who are in Christ, receive, but an entire world is perishing. Shall we not proclaim the good news to the world? Spurgeon said it best..."If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for." Christian, preach the gospel in and out of season! May the love of Christ compel us to do so.

Testimony

Thank you for your prayers! Ben and I had the pleasure of sharing the gospel with 7 people tonight. Two friends we spoke with (Yemi & Raphael) were actually Christians so we got a chance to encourage them in the faith! The next two people (Kat and Dane) were familiar with Christianity, but were not sure where they would spend eternity once they died. They asked us a lot of questions about why we wanted to tell them all of these things and were very receptive. All in all it was a very good night because God was glorified, weak as we are. The Holy Spirit gave us the words to say and we pray that seeds landed on good ground tonight.
