Testimony
Thursday 23rd 2011 June, my wife Pat and I attended a Church hall in Peterborough where they feed the hungry and I was asked o give them a message before they were fed.
Before they came I prayed to God the Holy Spirit to come and convict of sin, righteousness and judgement. John 16:8
We are still amazed what God did in that meeting because I was speaking slowly through a Christian lady interpreter.
It was a very challenging message that God knows about all the commandments we have broken, and we are heading for hell unless we turn to Christ. I said that just like the security cameras watching us everywhere, God knows everything we have done said and thought. we need to repent of any sin and also have Lord Jesus in our lives. John 1:12 and 2 Corinthians 13:5.
When I ask those who wanted to start a new life with God, first two stood, then three more, then all stood, 30 to 40 men, mostly Slavonic and a few Russian and all homeless the poor of our land.
Lord Jesus gave the good news to the poor and I was privileged to do the same. There were so many it was not possible to pray individually so it was a sinners prayer interpreted for all to repeat.
The person who invited me is still talking of the amazing response. The ladies who were helping with the interpretation were clearly thrilled and talked to the men about the times of meetings at the Slavonic Church they held there, and also issued New Testaments in their own language.
God was glorified and we are so privileged and thankful. Our prayer is that these men will all go on to serve God in a mighty way and live fruitful lives.
Yours abiding in Christ,
John
