Praise God another wonderful day on Colombo Street. Today we set up the barbecue in one of our favourite busy spots.
The Lord was giving out free sausages, drinks, bibles and the greatest gift of all, the free gift of life through Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Getting set up took a while today, getting everything in place. Brother Pio also set up his guitar and amp to sing gospel songs, bringing glory to Jesus the whole afternoon, praise God.
Sisters Christine and Aileen turned up to help and brother Jephthah later on. Christine ministered with many people as they came in for food and prayer.
Brothers from Operation 513 ministry turned up to witness to people here as well.
Brother Glen on the left has been our contact for free tracts for years now. We were really excited to meet up with him, as Christchurch is his home base. He personally delivered more tracts for us, so we got to fellowship together, Thank You Jesus.
Operation 513 is an amazing ministry, offering a range of free gospel tracts nation wide. For those interested, you just pay for the postage and give a donation.
This is a powerful tool from God, encouraging evangelism across the nation, with little cost. Glen with a group of evangelists are on the streets every week and in neighbouring towns and events, praise God.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
We had so much fun today as many people called in for free food, drink, bibles and prayer. The people really appreciated God’s blessing to them. There were a few really hungry homeless people who came back for seconds, thirds or fourths even.
We follow what Jesus commanded us to do, feed the hungry and love our neighbour as ourselves. People are welcome to come back for as many as they need. Many are striving to survive, as their addictions absorb any money they get, unfortunayely leaving nothing for food.
Luke 14:12-14 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbours, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
We pray for them as much as possible, that Jesus will heal their broken hearts and deliver them from the demonic spirits, trying to destroy them. Sometimes under the influence of their addictions, these spirits can become a distraction to the outreach.
Today one hundred and nine people accepted Jesus into their hearts, surrendering their lives to Him, praise God. Thank You Holy Spirit for all the divine appointments.
Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
We ask You Jesus to water them with Your living water, guide and lead them in Your perfect wisdom and fill them to overflow in Your precious Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thank You Father God for another wonderful day. Thank You Jesus for Your grace and mercy upon their precious souls. Thank You Holy Spirit for guiding Souls For Christ and drawing the people to Jesus. Amen.
Titus 3:5 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

About Christchurch, Colombo Street….
Colombo Street is a main road of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. It runs south-north through the centre of Christchurch with a break at Cathedral Square.
As with many other central Christchurch streets, it is named for a colonial Anglican bishopric, Colombo, Sri Lanka in what at the time was known as Ceylon.
