She has also joined me in outreaches in Picton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We preached the word of God across the streets, so people were receiving many divine seeds from Jesus. Brother Pio praised God with a few gospel songs, bringing wonderful anointed songs to many listening ears on the street. A store owner did asked us to turn the volume down, so we apologised and turned it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-3-color\"><strong>Luke 8:11 <\/strong> Now the parable is this: The seed is the&nbsp;word of God.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were there from 11.00am to 4.30pm, so quite a good while. 69 people decided to accept Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Saviour, praise God, thank You Holy Spirit.
