God is good, another Spirit filled day with the Lord, Hallelujah! This morning we attended Oasis C3 Church, which was a really blessed time.
Ps Paul preached about forgiveness, which is always a timely message. After service there was a picnic outside with an abundance of food and drink laid out for us all to enjoy, thank You Lord.
Acts 2:46-47 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
We then left for New Brighton for another barbecue outreach. Father God want’s to bless this community again with His love and provision of food drink and bibles.
We set up in the same place as last time, but the wind was coming from a different direction this time so we didn’t get much protection from the wall we were next to. The wind was also quite strong at 60 km and occasionally blew out the barbecue flame.
However we did manage to get the sausages cooked and enjoy a blessed time sharing Jesus to the community.
Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Corey came to help again, he is such a blessing from God, glory to Jesus. Corey is a very diligent and proactive helper.
I don’t need to ask him to do anything, he just does it. Corey also helps out in another food outreach in Christchurch City Centre. God has gifted him a very compassionate loving heart, thank You Jesus, thank you Corey.
Colossians 3:23-24 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.
Brother Pio sang gospel songs and Logen preached salvation in Jesus Christ.
Many people came over from the big playground next to us, to receive food, water, bibles and Jesus into their hearts, Hallelujah!
Philippians 4:4-5
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
We gave out about 100 sausages and 70 bottles of water.
All up, Holy Spirit drew 108 precious souls into Jesus, Glory to Him alone. Sister Aileen and brother Jephthah came to help, pray and minister to the people.
2 Corinthians 9:7-15 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written:
“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
We thank You Jesus for all Your wonderful work, we can do nothing without You, praise Your Holy name for ever. Thank You Father God for blessing the people of New Brighton.
Thank you for joining us here in this space created by Jesus Himself, through us.
