One Sixteen!!

I am in awe of God!  Tonight was the outreach at the Mitre Pub.  God did exceeding above all i could of asked or thought.  

The first hour we waited upstairs, praying and preparing.  After seeing that people we not coming, we prayed and went down stairs to invite the people who were already in the pub to come up for some food and to hang out.  Groups of people started to come up and start conversations with us.  Everyone got involved which was encouraging to see.  People came to pray, help set up, welcome people in, play live music, engage in conversation and share the gospel.  We had a chance to talk to two awesome guys from France and Iran, and shared the gospel with them.  They were really touched by Gods love through the warm welcomes and conversation.  Joe shared the gospel with two guys who were blown away that someone would approach them and lovingly invite them to come hang out.  At the end, I got to talk to three guys who were really hit when we shared the gospel with them.  While people were talking, we played music ate food, and ended the night with a pub quiz.  

Overall it was just an amazing night to meet people, get real with them, listen to their hearts and share Gods truth with them.  It was amazing because i expected it to be a night of being up on a stage sharing through a microphone, but God brought us away from the stage and allowed us to get real with people, which was far better.  It was such a beautiful night.

Please pray for the seeds that were planted.  Seriously, we all think people got saved which is incredible and a lot of them want to come to church or come to the regular Mitre bible study on Thursdays.  

Thank you everyone for praying.  We all learned so much tonight and were in awe watching God touch lives and transform people right in front of us.  

 

One Sixteen

Romans 1:16 Paul says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for i know that it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes..."  

That is the heart behind an event we are hosting at the Mite Pub in portswood this Thursday.  

The purpose of the event is for people who have not heard the gospel to come and hear the truth of Jesus Christ.  We will have music, food and a pub quiz.   In between, we will be sharing our stories of how God has saved us and touched our lives as well as presenting the gospel message.

Please pray for salvation.  Pray that people will hear the gospel who have never heard it before, and to that they will turn to God.  Pray for people to come as well.  All this week we will be inviting people, so pray they will come and hear the gospel!

Plugg Teaching

We had an opportunity to speak to the youth at St James church about sharing the gospel to prepare them for an outreach the church was hosting the following Sunday.  We kept the teaching really practical, giving them ways to direct conversation towards the gospel, share their story and be real with people.  We did a one on one role playing conversation with a kid named Tom which went really well.  They were all really engaged and during the outreach, most of them shared the gospel boldly and invited people to the event.  

         

Film and Theology

Once a Month a Calvary, we all get together to watch a film and discuss the principles illustrated in the film through reading the bible and discussing the theology after the film.  This month we watched, "I am Legend."  

Below are a few pictures of our study and discussion about walking in the light vs being in darkness.  

Summer Updates

It has been a long time since i have had an update!  The past few months have been and amazing time to grow closer to the Lord and walk in the way He has prepared.  I am having the time of my life here, as challenging as it is. 

THANK YOU for all of you prayers and love!  Thank you for all of the emails you send and for the encouragement you bring.  Your prayers are bearing fruit here in Southampton.  

So, Jonathan Domingo is now in the UK serving with us in the lovely Southampton!!  Here is a picture of the stud with Amaris and I.  

It has already been an incredible blessing having him here with us.  From day one, he jumped right into ministry and has been a real encouragement to me.  He is a true brother.  

Your prayers are appreciated for him:

 -for his relationship with God to grow immensely this year.  

-for the ministry the Lord has for Him. 

-Skate church:  Jonathan has already been reaching out to the skate community and has built strong relationships.  His vision is to start a "Skate church" which is aimed at bringing the gospel to the skate community though skate events and weekly bible studies in the skate parks.  Your prayer for this is essential and appreciated.
