Getting on Our Knees in the Mall

2012 December 4 (9)

Exhortation

Witness Wednesday is now happening on Tuesdays! I know, we need a new name now. But no matter, come join us at 6PM at Markville Mall for some gospel sharing.

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard this Sunday from Rom 3:23-24 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith."

Faith family, the Christmas season is upon us, where Christ is preached all over the radio. Don't waste this opportunity! Share this gift of grace. Share about the blood that was shed. Share what Christmas is all about! I have some surveys that'll make sharing "easy" too. Get in touch with me and I can send you PDF's. Join me in prayer as we bring Christ back to Christmas, starting tonight at Markville Mall.

Testimony

Awesome testimonies tonight! For starters, we have a new person joining the team of evangelists. Ben Sampson joined Mike Fenty and myself at Markville. It's great to see how God is growing the team, and from different churches too. This is unity in the body! In the past three weeks, we've tripled our numbers! Hah! Praise God!

We talked to quite a number of people tonight, one group being four teenagers going to a catholic school. We opened up by asking them about Christmas and it naturally led to who Christ was. All of them heard the gospel. One of them in particular (Anton) was so scared of dying and of Hell too that he'd sometimes lie in bed just thinking about it. He said things like "If I died now I'd probably go to Hell. Of course I'm scared." and "How do you know it is real?" You could see God pulling at him. We shared about our absolute confidence in Christ and how we don't have to be afraid anymore. He knows, but he's just not quite there. Pray that God will grow the seeds planted.

And after two hours, we thought we were done so we prayed in the mall as we usually do. After we were done, we noticed how this lady was sitting beside us. In fact, there were quite a number of people there near us. We felt prompted to share the gospel with her, and as we started she said how she was a Christian and how she's so encouraged by what we're doing. After some more talking and brief sharing of her story, she said how she wants to come to the church I go to (Harvest Bible Chapel York Region). In fact, I've never met someone so eager to come to church! We got her number and some of you might even meet her on Sunday!

Brothers and sisters in Christ, share the gospel with someone this week! Don't waste this Christmas season. God has brought you into their life for this very reason! So that they can have what you have: a relationship with God.
