This week, 125 people gave their lives to Jesus…54 of those people came to Jesus all in one day! This month, we have had the incredible privilege to be working alongside of a church who passionately pursue the lost. We were incredibly busy this month, but the underlying theme of everything we did was in pursuit of those who do not yet know Jesus.
Some of my favorite moments this month happened when people encountered the real presence of God in the streets of this city. We were given the freedom to pray for people in the streets and approach people and share Jesus with them (Such a precious freedom after last month’s struggle!)
I saw Jesus make Himself known to people as they sat, with tears streaming down their cheeks, when they realized all the pain in their body left and they were healed. I stood in the pouring rain as a woman prayed and gave her life to Jesus in the middle of the sidewalk. Over and over again, I saw Jesus reveal Himself and people were healed, delivered, saved, and changed by His love.
Hundreds and hundreds of people were saved this month. Countless people were changed by the presence of Jesus…. Now what?
As I pack my bag and prepare to move on to another country and another month, I can’t help but ask the Lord what happens now? Each month, I wonder what happens to the people I meet.
This is where trust comes in. I trust Jesus that I played the part I was supposed to play each month with each person. I trust that I fulfilled my role in the body of Christ and that there are others coming behind me to water seeds and disciple people. I cannot be every member of the body and I must continue to the next place He calls me. I trust Him to call others to the places I’ve been. I trust Him to raise up those who can disciple those who were saved this month. I trust that it’s not about me and all about Jesus!
Now let’s all have a little praise break….. hundreds of people came to Jesus in Northern Ireland this month!!!!
