Trusting God completely means a lot. You go through trials and temptations but the faith that one has keeps them going. God puts situations that we can handle. What is important is our connection with Him. So I wake up this Saturday morning with that feeling that I am not going anywhere. I had purposed to attend Each One Reach One for the week. So I didn’t really understand what was really happening. I had a conversation with God. I needed broadness and courage to go minister His word. I told him that, “If attending the evangelism is not going to bring glory to you, Lord, then don’t let me leave this room.”
I was heading to the meeting point, I had to make sure that God’s presence was with me. It’s always good when you welcome the Holy Spirit to walk and lead your paths. I felt overjoyed for the first time I was going for #EORO. Within an hour, I was at the destination at Bata Hilton. I joined the rest as they were doing the introductions. Soon we were divided into smaller groups. There were several people who had not done it before in the group I joined. Someone walked with me the first time I did it. I also found myself with a first timer. The amazing thing with this partner was the relationship he had with God. He was well conversant with the Bible so it was easy for me to get along with him. We evangelized around Kenya National Archives and Tom Mboya Street. It was on a Saturday, so our sea of believers and new ones was plenty around the place. Believe me it’s not easy to approach a stranger, but God will always lead you to the right person.
I got to share the love of Christ with a certain lady. I will use Tasha as her name (not real name). She fellowships at Seventh Day Adventist so most likely she was supposed to be in Church. She was listening to some Christian music that was being played by another group. She was friendly and I must say that I wouldn’t mind sharing some other time with her. We got to talk and she shared her story. She had not been attending church for the past few weeks. She would prepare her kids for Church but not attend with them. She would later come to town and listen to music. We asked her of her relationship with Christ and she told us it was okay. She just didn’t want to attend Church for no specific reason. We shared a few words and encouraged her to attend Church. If we can pray at home, then there would be no need for Churches. We go to Church to fellowship with others just as the Bible clearly states in
Matthew 18:19-20
“And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.20 For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them.” (GNT).
We prayed together with her. Later I was joined by a friend from my county to continue with #EORO. I got to meet people I knew and shared the love of Christ and prayed with them. We got to reach out to other people. We got to share the word with a lady who had lost her faith and she rededicated her life to Christ. It was an epic moment for me. We did a repentance prayer and encouraged her to read the Bible to keep her faith strong and growing.
As we were going back, we got to meet with a gentleman who was also into ministry. We ended up sharing as we encouraged each other. He was sited at those seats opposite Kenya National Archives. Time was running out for us. We gathered again as the larger group for the Prayer Walk. We read the scripture and walked as we prayed. The prayer walk ended and people gave testimonies of how lives were changed. It was amazing to see lost sheep recovered back to the Kingdom. Heaven there was a party prepared.
A guy gave a testimony of how some people he met urged him to be ministering the word each time he is around. #EORO was a success for me and all for the glory and honor to Jesus Christ our savior. Reach out to as many souls as you can. You may never know until you try it out.
