New York City Missions

Wow, how can i explain this mission? My goodness gracious. This was just absolutely crazy. Getting there I didn't know what to expect. I knew we were going to share the Good News of Jesus Christ but it turned out men of God changed my life in those 6 days. God has been so good to us, showing our the whole team the meaning of being one in the body of Christ and truly having an intimate relationship with Him. Having a team of 33 from Tennessee with funny accents =P, I thought it would just be an ordinary mission working together. It soon turned out we became family. We bonded so much and we all drew close to God so radically and intimately in that week man. One moving location whom "Yogi Bear" ( name of the ministry there ) preached at were subway carts. What happened was that one person would get up , draw the crowd's attention and share the love of Jesus Christ. I personally shared my testimony, and just the love of Jesus, and with God's presence with you, He moved souls everywhere He went. After sharing the Gospel, we would ask if they would accept Jesus into their heart, then the whole team would move out witnessing one on one to the peeps in the subways. Hearts were change and people were delivered all by God's grace, and I saw God move through that week i never even imagined. Though we were rejected at times, God's grace and love pushed in and we weren't looking forward to results or people's approval, but just being obedient and faithful to God. He opened up doors and opportunities which blew me away. One time we were singing worship songs in the middle of the train station, and I saw a girl curious on what we were doing. Explaining how we were just worshiping God and how God moved in my life, I saw she was deeply moved and God's love had just touched her right in the heart. It was amazing. Another time was when Evangeline and I met a couple at Coney Island. We shared the Good News of Jesus Christ and it moved both people. They soon accepted Jesus in their heart and were completely moved by God's grace. I felt the presence and pouring of God's presence and salvation moving and shaking New York City. The Tennessee folks were just also amaZING. They were just so nice and so on fire for God. They were all a bit shaky in the beginning but as i saw God working through each and every one of them throughout the week, they were all shaken radically and were freaks for JESUS! We bonded and unified and had awesome and hilarious times together, and God was just always there with us no matter what happened. He never left our backs, and He never will. Now you may ask how do you evangelize to people or how do you start a conversation. 90% of people won through Christ are won through family and friends. BE their friends, be a Jesus to them. Love them as Jesus would love them, and know how much God loves you that He was willing to be crucified on the cross for your sins. It's that easy, and just a simple conversation like that can change a person for all of eternity. There was an amazing skit team and drama team just giving it all out for Jesus. Encountering God was amazing as well. When pastor Jay shared the message of when sin came through the world , it brought shame/guilt, fear, assigning blame, rejection, yet when Jesus Christ died on the cross, it nullified all of it and when He resurrected from the dead, He conquered all the obsticales in our lives and that He lives in us now giving us the same authority and love. God's been amazing throughout this week, and im praying that will give a chance for God to reveal how much He loves you, and who you can be with having Him in your life.
