Evangelistic Night
June 30, 2008
by Maria Sensenig

This past weekend we joined with Agape Mennonite Church in hosting an evangelistic night. The event was being planned for weeks and a lot of work was put into it. To be honest, not many of the invited guests showed up and to my knowledge, no one made a commitment that night. But it was a beautiful evening and we were privileged to see God at work.

The youth of this church were the ones who did most of the planning and took charge of this event. Now from our point of view, when we first met these young people, there really did not seem to be a whole lot of interest in spiritual things. But over the past few months we have had the privilege of watching that change. And it was especially evident leading up to and during this night. A group of them, having never fasted before, decided to fast and pray for nearly three days leading up to this evening. We were able to join them for one of the prayer meetings and even though I could only understand a few words, the passion in their voices was undeniable. We also all joined together for a pre-meeting worship time and the hall was filled with young people singing and praising God with an excitement and energy I've never seen among them before. As new people arrived it was neat watching the youth welcome them in and after the service they divided into small groups and shared God's love on a very personal level.

We thank God for allowing us to join in with these young people during this season of their lives. It is our prayer that as they continue to serve God and pour out their lives in service to Him, He would continue to fill them up. And even though we won't be here to see it, we're excited for what He's going to do!

Praises:
- We had a fun time in Macau and were able to return safely before the typhoon hit.


Prayer Requests:
- We will be doing a program in a school this week and doing a short "Bible English Camp" with a few students next week. Pray for wisdom and creativity as we prepare and God to be working on the hearts of those who are present during these times.
