Training and Outreach at OM’s Transform Week in Athens, Greece.
Terrific time training 150 Omers from 27 nations with One Wish in Greece this July.
Then it was out on the streets of Athens to put it into practice. And people responded as we explained the good news with the four pictures on the bracelets.
This morning I met with twelve teenagers at a camp in Belarus (country between Poland and Russia).
Eleven of the twelve had never opened a Bible before this week. As I drew a diagram to show them from 2 Timothy 3:15-17 why God gave us His Book, I saw their hearts being opened.
Richard will be speaking to the kids at Camp Icthus. The location is on the Mountain Fellowship Camp facility in Suches GA. He briefly spoke to the day campers, on getting “Out of the Box” to reach people for Christ. For more info on Camp Icthus, please visit CampIcthus.org.
Out tonight enjoying a Lebanese meal with Rachel, my wife, and a friend, I gave a One Wish gospel leaflet to Justin, our server. I wanted to share more with him but he was busy with other customers. Later I noticed him reading the leaflet.
Leaving the restaurant, I was excited to see Justin again. He was outside waiting for his ride. I explained the four pictures on my wristband. His heart was open. He put his trust in Christ. I gave him a “Growing in Friendship” follow-up booklet. Then his ride came.
This young lady was one of many I met out and about in Chile whose heart was open to the Lord.
40 Kids in Africa came to the Lord and are given One Wish Wristband!
Everything went wrong!
The Irish host church for my team from Legacy Ministries — a local equipping and counseling ministry led by Bill and Tammy Melton — pulled out. Then a back-up church backed out. Our team of ten arrived as OM scrambled to pull something together.
Everything went right!
Three churches pitched in. Hearts quickly knit. Times of prayer took off. During one of times of prayer that we had with the churches before each outreach, the joy of the Lord came down upon Karen, one of our team members. She fell down and broke her sun glasses. While out on the streets witnessing that afternoon, she stopped in a shop looking to replace her expensive glasses. Karen shared the pictures on her wristband with Louise serving her, and the young lady prayed to trust in Christ. “Somethings just happened in my heart,” she exclaimed. Suddenly both ladies were filled with joy. She was one of 20 that decided for Christ on this everything went wrong and right mission.
Thanks for your prayers during this summer’s outreaches in Ireland and also in Spain and England where people also responded to the good news — 15 in one open air meeting outside Barcelona.
