More Fruit in London

"One Saturday evening we went to the homeless shelter working with a lady by the name of Pastor Christina. While we were there I noticed a single Mum with her brother and three children and I felt the Holy Spirit say I really love that family they are special to me. So I thought to myself I have to introduce myself to them which is what I did, then encouraged them with what... I felt like God was saying. This opened up a conversation about Jesus and hearing the voice of God. I explained the Gospel with this single Mother and invited her to start a relationship with God, which she said yes. Then I had the privilege of leading her to the Lord!" - Nathan Kingdom, Australia, School of Evangelism

Continued Openness from Londonites

"A girl wondered into our church one Sunday because she wanted to know more about God. She was 14 years old and the church was all over 65 -except us of course! After the service I shared with her and she got inspired by my testimony and wanted to know more about my relationship with God. We made a time to meet up and she invited us over to her house. It was an answer to prayer to be able to go to her home! We met her family, shared testimonies, taught her how to read the bible and brought her to Christ. She prayed and accepted Jesus as her Savior."

Gambian meets Jesus in London

God has brought the nations to London... and they are meeting Jesus there! Here is another testimony from one of the teams:

"I have been helping out with the homeless shelter at St. Paul Shadwell's Church, during this time I got to share with a man called John from Gambia. He opened up to me and just needed someone to befriend him, so I did and also started telling him about the love of God and gave him a Bible. The second Monday I got to see him I prayed with him and he gave his life to God. He is going to church now and he doesn't feel alone anymore."

Becoming a Street Chaplain!

On Monday, February 6th, I will start training to become a street chaplain- to bring light into dark places in the weekend party scene in the city of Perth.

Street Chaplains are... "motivated by the example of Jesus who showed care to the sick, needy and distressed people of the city. They provide practical help, compassion and First Aid to those who have suffered harm through substance and other forms of abuse." They have worked with the police in Perth and are often called upon in crisis situations as they provide the time and the care that the police don't always have the means to.

My training will include first aid, working with the indigenous, and drug and alcohol abuse related training. I will work two shifts a month during the late night hours (in teams) to minister love, compassion and mercy to the most needy in Perth. This is not a ministry of YWAM Perth, but a locally run ministry, which many of us ywamers are joining up with.

Thanks for your prayers as I launch into this endeavor!
