Fairview Mall evangelism

After work today, I cruised over to the Vine Towers and picked up Jenny Brown, Mark Enos, and Sheri Smith for monday evangelism. We cruised to the Fairview Mall (cause we didn't have a car, and I didn't want to get them banned from the Pen Center) to talk to some people about Jesus. Mark talked to a couple of guys but had NO luck. Jenny and I approached a girl reading on a bench and were able to talk to her for a few moments, but she didn't seem to recieve it too well; not bad, but not great. Then as Jenny and I were headed back to find Mark and Sheri, I notice this guy sitting on a bench just sort of staring off into space. We approach him and I ask the infamous, "Hey man, do you know Jesus?" question. He turns out to be from Japan, and we rave to him for like 10-15 min and totally speak into his life as none have ever before. It was pretty sweet. I ended up giving him my Amplified New Testament, and inviting him to see Eight Days at NCC this sunday. On our way home I asked Mark and Sheri if they had 'earned' their evangelism credit and Sheri was hesitant to say, so we told her there would be an opportunity as we walked back. Then she tears across the highway and into the parking lot of Dairy Queen and starts totally gospelizing this guy. It was HARDCORENESS! Way to go Sheri. On top of that, this was her first time out evangelizing ever! I smell a reformer in the making. Anyways, we had some good times. Everyone who reads this.............GO EVANGELIZING!!!!

John 12:32

Jesus will indeed draw people to Him if we but lift Him up and give Him the praise, honor, and glory due His name. Josh Heymans, Melody Wallace, Mark Enos, and I went to the Pen Center this evening for some evangelism and had a time and a half. First we split up into two groups (Josh & Mark; Myself & Melody) and we cruised around looking for people to witness to. It didn't go too great untill we met up at the food court and started challenging each other. Then Josh stepped in front of these two teenagers and asked them if they knew about God's abundant love for them, or something to that effect. They weren't up for it and walked away; but they told 3 of their other friends who came over immediately and started asking if we were the ones who knew about God. So within 10 minutes, we had a group of about 12 teenagers all standing around us in the middle of the mall as we preached up a storm to them. It was quite an event. Most of them were really willing to actually 'listen' to us and recieve the things which God had for them to hear. It was really something. It was something God initiated Himself and something we couldn't have done in our best attempts at all.

Then we headed to Niagara International Worship Center for a saturday night Worship EXPLOSION!!! It was actually quite AMAZING. But that song 'friend of God' follows me around like a bad cold! I cant escape it. "Whats up with that God?!!" Anyways, see what ya's think. Blessings all; it truly was an anointed evening.
