I did a One Wish weekend with Ebenezer Baptist Church in Scarborough, England. Last Saturday morning I held a workshop and outreach for sixteen people. Sunday morning I gave a One Wish equipping message to the eighty folk gathered. Ten people trusted in Christ that weekend.
I met Mark as I was coming back into the church after the time of One Wish outreach. Sharp looking, in his mid-thirties, he said he was new to the area. Mark said he was not religious. I said I was not either. I gave him a One Wish leaflet. He glanced at it and said he liked it. I invited him to come Sunday morning to our service where I was speaking. He said he would come. Sunday morning he was there. I showed everyone the One Wish approach and Mark gave his life to the Lord.
He said he would come back in the evening. And he came back. I challenged people to pair up and take the 21 day challenge together. Each were to grow in their own friendship using the 21 Day “Growing in Friendship” booklet. Each would also connect with people during the 21 days and seek to each lead one person to begin a friendship with God and help them grow with a second “Growing in Friendship” booklet. Two of the twenty that stood to take the challenge were Mark and an elder of the church. They decided that evening to do the 21 day One Wish challenge together.
