Vaughan/London, Ontario—Gospel Trip, Report 4

February 6, 2019

February 2
We held our seminar on the “Mystery of the Human Life” at the Vellore Village Community Center. We had seven new contacts come, and 65 attendees in total. It was an incredible time of mutual fellowship and learning with everyone that attended. A new seeking couple came who were very open to learn and enjoy the Lord with us.

February 3
We were split up into four different teams to go to the Lord’s Table in Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, and Richmond Hill.

We began the evening with a love feast and orientation for all full-time and part-time participants. We had at least 17 full-time participants, including seven FTTA trainees and up to 50 part-time participants throughout the week. We were divided into six teams to go out to York University, Keele Campus and Seneca College, King Campus; door-knocking in the neighborhood of the Vellore Village Community Center where we held the Bibles for Canada seminar; Go-Train stations in Vaughan, and visitations of dormant saints in the area.

We handed out close to 5000 seminar invitations with tracts and 229 Bibles with tracts. We joined the Christian Students at York club for three afternoons of the week to distribute Bibles and invitations.

Prayer Burdens:

  • The Lord may make His home in the hearts of the seven new contacts and that they will be open to receive further contact from the saints
  • The hearts of the people in the city of London be soft and open to the Lord
  • Stir up the local saints in London to participate in the gospel trip

Manassas, VA—Gospel Trip, Report 7

February 6, 2019

Today we had our Bible Connect event at NOVA Community College in Manassas from 2-4pm. Three students came. Our goal for this time was to build relationships with the students and to show them how to properly use the New Testament Recovery Version. We read Matthew 1:1, John 6:16-21, and Hebrews 12:1 with the corresponding footnotes. Although this was our last day at NOVA, we hope that the labor on this campus will not stop but that the workers, the full-timers and local saints, would be thrust out to continue caring for the students contacted.

We ended our day with a home meeting. After we enjoyed a meal together, we sang and read Life Study Message 26 of Ephesians. It is a great blessing to be part of the household of God! Tomorrow, we will distribute Bibles at GMU and will have a Bible study afterwards with the students.

Prayer Burdens:

  • That the students who came to our Bible Connect event would remain and continue to be shepherded
  • That the Lord may gain more students at GMU as remaining fruit to be added to the church through our Bible distributions tomorrow

Jackson, MS/Birmingham, AL—Gospel Trip, Report 10

February 6, 2019

We praise the Lord for our third day here in Birmingham, AL. The time here has been of much enjoyment and refreshment for both the local saints and us. Our Monday started with our corporate enjoyment of the Lord in the morning and then coordinating for our time on the campus.

We tabled today at one of the buildings at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). While we were there, we sang, talked to the students, passed some tracts to them, and encouraged them to sign-up with their contact information, so that we could invite them to Bible studies. At the beginning of our time, it was a bit hard to give away flyers, but after some time, we lost our faces and the Lord had a breakthrough and we were able to have 26 students sign-up with their contact information. Out of those people, three confirmed that they want to meet with us again this week! We even had one student receive a Mystery of Human Life tract, who went back to the table asking us to explain it more to him. We explained it and he prayed with us. Praise the Lord!

During the evening time, we had a wonderful time at the home meeting. We mutually enjoyed the Lord by singing, pray-reading, and enjoying a portion of the ministry. How pleasant it is to dwell the saints in unity and harmony!

Prayer Burdens:

  • That the Lord would release appointments with the 26 students who signed-up and that they would attend the Bible study on Thursday, February 7
  • That the Lord would keep blessing all the corporate gatherings and home meetings among the saints here in Birmingham, AL
  • That the Lord would clothe all the trainees and local saints with the Spirit of power as we continue to labor on the campus

Edmond, OK—Gospel Trip Report

February 6, 2019

This previous week the gospel team visited Edmond, OK. We were in Edmond from Wednesday, January 30, until this past Lord’s Day, February 2. We began our time in Edmond by enjoying the flowing Triune God in coordination and flowing out to the students at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) in our gospel outreach. We contacted a lot of students and prayed with one student to receive the Lord. We concluded our first evening with prayer in a home with all the saints. We felt like we really got blended in our prayer and the Lord’s will was released for the church in Edmond.

The following day we contacted a lot of students and invited them to our Bible Study in the afternoon and our Solid Ground ministry meeting. There were about six new students who came to our events. A lot of the UCO Christians on Campus students and local saints joined us and filled the atmosphere with Christ.

On Friday, we continued to contact more students. We had second appointments with four students. We shared our testimonies with the students and they were able to connect with a local brother Cochran in a good way. It’s very encouraging seeing these new ones being related with the local saints.

In the evening, we had six new students join us for a special dinner and fellowship in the Student Union on “Taking Christ as Our Identity.” The students were really impressed that their identity is in Christ and that the world shouldn’t strip that away from them. The way to resist the world is to turn to the Word, find a Christian community, and to speak for Christ. There was a new sister who enjoyed the fellowship so much that she changed her Sunday schedule to make it to the Lord’s Table in Oklahoma. Praise the Lord that our identity is in Christ!

We spent Saturday blending with the saints in Oklahoma City. We toured the Cowboy Museum and saw the sights in the Bricktown section of Oklahoma. In the evening the sisters went to the join the sisters’ outing, which is how to serve the Lord through prayer and by taking Christ as our real husband. The brothers went to the young people’s meeting and learned what it meant to be an inoculator according to 2 Timothy 2.

We concluded our trip in Edmond by going to OKC to join the saints from Tulsa, Norman, OKC, Edmond in a time of blending Lord’s Day morning. The saints invited new ones to the meeting and a student we met during the week joined us for the meeting. A sister shared her testimony during the meeting of how she met the saints and the brothers presented Matthew 15. We were all brought under the master’s table to enjoy Christ as the crumbs that reached even us. The new ones we invited really enjoyed the meeting.

Our time in Edmond and Oklahoma was so sweet. May the Lord bless Edmond with much remaining fruit!

The Lord’s fruit at UCO:

  • 80 students contacted
  • 10 New Testament Recovery versions given
  • 200 flyers distributed
  • 4 second appointments
  • 1 salvation

Prayer Burdens:

  • Please pray that the Lord would connect the new students with current students in Christians on Campus at UCO and the local saints in Edmond.
  • May the Lord continue to stir up a hunger for the word in these students and that they would keep coming to weekly Bible Study and solid ground meetings.
  • Please pray for the Lord’s operation in the students.
