"I was blessed by how the teens on our trip were stirred up to bless others in a way they weren't expecting. They teamed up with each other according to their strengths and weaknesses, to make their strategy most effective. It was super awesome to watch this.
The "win" they experienced of being a vessel of GOOD NEWS and hope to hurting people through prayer and connection definitely motivated them and gave new understanding to their abilities and how to live out God's call as His people. So cool to witness.
I personally was re-inspired to missions and reminded to slow down and make the most of my interactions with those I pass "along the way". To take every opportunity to love on people, especially strangers, to connect and share Jesus with them even if in simple ways. Prayer changes things!"
Emily was a co-leader of the NH team that came for the 2019 New Year's Eve Outreach!
Another testimony from someone who came for the 2019 New Year's Eve Outreach had this to say....
"I came here scared, terrified to be exact. Fear has been something in my life for a long time. But as the time here passed, I learned that Jesus can and has the power to cast it out.
The more I focused on that truth, and with the help of my leader, I was able to begin my journey of stepping out and changing my attitude to be more "others" focused and less "me" focused.
The Lord encouraged me to begin with just smiling at people and using kind eyes, which then I was able to begin the process of speaking with people and letting my personality shine and use the unique gifts that Jesus has given me. Instead of something I feared, it became something joyful and blessed. I'm looking forward to what else Jesus might call me to accomplish in my faith."
Although this is the story for one participant, many who come feel exactly the same.
Josiah brought a team from New Hampshire for the 2019 New Year's Eve Outreach. His 6 year old daughter was also a part of the team and outreach. One testimony he shared was this....
"I approached a drug dealer who was initially asking me if I wanted drugs. I flipped the script and told him I was dealing too and that there was "no high like the Most High" and I'm offering The Holy Ghost. I began to prophesy to him about his gifts and calling.....he was touched."
Whether at the prayer stations or
serving hot cocoa on New Year's
Eve in Times Square, we run into
people of all backgrounds
and ethnicities which is an
opportunity like no other. You never
know who you may meet and who the
Lord will touch.
