Hello family, our last day outreach here in Christchurch.
We started the morning in worship at C3 Church, where we are staying. Ps Paul invited us up the the stage to share a little about Souls For Christ to the congregation.
We announced the upcoming evangelism workshop, that Ps Paul had arranged for us to speak at, on Tuesday evening.
We also invited everyone to come join us in an outreach on Colombo Street after the service. We received a great message on the finished work of The Cross in the service.
Sister Phillipa from C3 Church was the only one who turned up to join us from the workshop. This was her first time evangelising on the street.
Phillipa picked up the mantel immediately as the river of the Holy Spirit flowed through her impacting the people before her.
She immediately got involved, and started ministering with people coming up for food and prayer. We encouraged her to also lead people through the salvation prayer, and she did, praise God. What a joy to see her boldly bringing people to Christ!
1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
When we arrived a church band with a group of praise dancers where in full swing. They were about thirty metres from our barbecue location.
The atmosphere was already charged as God’s presence was amplified through the street. Shouts of praise to Jesus and gospel music echoed through the street, as a group of twenty people danced joyfully in choreography. A lovely sight, to see and hear.
Psalm 118:21-24
I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Brother Warren and wife Roseanna Smith we met up with at Urban Oasis C3 Church. Warren is Managing Director at SSS Distributors and Christian Superstore in Christchurch. Also Regional Director at Derek Prince Ministries.
Warren invited us to the store to bless us with bibles to hand out on the street. He loaded up two big boxes of bibles, a range of children’s gospel books and many helpful bible literature books.
Proverbs 21:21 He who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
Proverbs 19:17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
And He will pay back what he has given.
We are so very thankful to You Father God for this blessing. For You knew we had run out of bibles and answered our prayers.
Bless You Father for Your abundance richly suppling the spiritually hungry and thirsty precious souls. Thank You Jesus for Your living water, which You offer freely to all. Amen.
Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
The people who came up to the table loved the books. We set a limit of one per person so as many people as possible would have the opportunity to take God’s word home with them.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.
119 people made the decision to surrender their hearts to Jesus, today. Thank You Holy Spirit, Glory to Jesus.
Occasionally someone will refuse prayer, which is ok. They just receive the blessing of food and drink. We might just share a little about Jesus and bless them. A seed sown in love by the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Isaiah 9:2 NKJ. The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
Thank you Father God for a wonderful last outreach day here in Christchurch. Thank you for all the precious souls chosen by you to be drawn out of the corrupted, into the incorruptible. From mortal to immortal. From darkness to light. Thank you Jesus, that your light now shines through them as you renew them day by day, from glory to glory. Amen.
1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever
1 Corinthians 15:53-54 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.

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.
