As a white woman from a
smaller town in Southern Virginia, doing street evangelism in a predominately
black neighborhood of New York City was a little out of Kelly’s comfort zone.
“I’ll be honest, when we arrived in Harlem for the Prayer Station ministry, I was a little
intimidated and scared.” She was certainly out of her element, but she began to
pray asking the Lord to bring people that He wanted her to connect with. It wasn’t very long
before Rashawn came walking down the street.
When Kelly offered to
pray with him, he explained that this was not his usual route to work and that
he usually walks with his headphones in but they just stopped working right
before he turned the corner. It was as if God was setting him up as he was
coming towards them. “We spoke for over an hour,” Kelly said. “He was excited about the things of the Lord and
very curious about a relationship with Jesus. He was not yet ready to commit
himself to the Lord, but he took a New Testament and I am praying that he will
be starting his walk with the Lord very soon.” Kelly got to experience firsthand what can happen
when we are willing to break down barriers and go where the Lord sends us. She
ended by saying, “I had an encouraging week with Street LIFE Ministries, and
God is doing great things here.”
