Do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry

Last week we received two wonderful letters from Georgia and Lithuania which demonstrate how effective real evangelism is – and how important your support in prayer has been this year.

Recently in Georgia they celebrated a ‘Day of Tolerance'. Most of the Georgian politicians and prominent civic leaders were present at that celebration. The Mayor of Tbilisi – the capital city where our crusade was held – made a public report: he was very proud that under the present Government, for the first time ever in Georgian history, the Evangelical church could have a major event in the Sport Palace! He expressed his hope that it is not the last event of such scale! Even the secular leaders of Georgia understand the impact that our crusade made on the whole country!

Bishop Rimantas Kupstys, Chairman of the National Coordinating Committee in Lithuania, wrote about our evangelism there in October 2010 and 2009:

Dear David, these were the first mass evangelistic events ever held in the history of our country; the biggest hall in Vilnius, in the whole of Lithuania, was used for the celebration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Evangelicals are a really tiny part (not quite 1%) of a predominantly catholic country – yet we were able to run such a huge event! Thank you for the privilege of being partners with you. Without your faith and resources it would never happen. Eighty evangelical churches were involved, sharing our human, financial and spiritual resources: in prayer and intercession, street evangelism, distribution of leaflets, and in the preparation of ushers, counsellors, worshippers.

As a result, the Gospel of Jesus Christ reached the hearts of thousands of our people. Our nation is now open to the Gospel as never before. This is the exact right time to preach the Gospel and we are so grateful to our Lord for answering our prayers, so that because of your obedience to Him to come and do the work of the evangelist, a great time of Revival has come to our country.

Buses brought people from all corners of Lithuania: we were so blessed because through this ministry we were able to reach people in places where no church had yet been able to reach them!

Many new converts have joined the churches, and Alpha courses started all over the country. Many who were Christians already are now on fire for God through their involvement and by seeing with their own eyes what God is doing. These events changed their attitude towards unbelievers and made them open to actively working in ministry. The two campaigns over these two years have mobilised the churches to work together and brought wonderful results in real unity and trust between us.

He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn – Hosea 6:3

In my last prayer email I asked you to pray specifically for the following:

That the Lord will answer in an unexpected way to speak to someone to give a single sum in excess of £100,000.
That all our debts will be cleared.
That our income will increase sufficiently during 2011 to cover the cost of all the evangelism.

God is answering – but we are still waiting in faith for the full answer – please continue to pray very urgently and when the miracle occurs we shall rejoice together. Our problem is that we need to confirm the dates for next year's evangelism very quickly – minimum preparation time for large scale nation-wide evangelism is 6 months. The first potential crusades are April and May, preparation has begun, but we have exhausted all our finance on this year's evangelism.

I want to encourage you. Our faith is not theory, something we just learn about – it is real and practical. Our God answers prayer – and He works miracles. I've seen every kind of miracle you can imagine. I know miracles will happen when I pray; I don't have any question about it. It is no different from knowing that every morning the sun will get out of bed and show itself at my window! God works miracles every day – but it is for us to believe He can, and will, in our lives!

If we actually believe God can work miracles, His promise in Ephesians 3:20 is that He is able to exceed what we ask, think or imagine – but faith is the most difficult of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit! 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

Thank you

David
