Outreach is Fun!!!!

This past October we began a 6 week class on the Prophetic Gift based on 1 Corinthians 14: 3 "But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men."  On the 4th week of class we all went out into our city and practiced what we had learned.  It was an incredible time.   Before we left we all prayed and asked God to give us clues on where to go and who to talk to.  Some clues we very funny.   One of the guys got the color pink and saw in his mind a tutu.  He laughed to himself thinking, "God,You would give me that kind of clue."  Anyway, he was suppose to meet my husband who was already downtown at the Farmer's Market.  On his way from the parking lot to the Farmer's Market, Ed passed a little consignment shop who's window display was filled with pink items and a pink ballerina outfit including a tutu.  He was amazed.  He went to find Scott and told him about the clues he got from God and what he just saw.  Together they went to the consignment shop.  The owner was at the counter.  Ed explained to her what he and Scott were doing there and asked to pray for her.  She was very open and accepting.  They prayed and prophesied over her.  She was blessed by what they said and encouraged them that what they prophesied was true and accurate.  The guys were thrilled!
The girls and I were at Aldi's grocery store on the other side of town.  I got the clue to go to Aldi's and also got 3 other clues: a women, ringing in the ears and headaches. I wasn't really sensing who we were to pray for until we got to the check out.  I then saw a woman who had already checked out and she was breathing with the aid of an oxygen tank.  I approached the woman and said, "I see that you have an oxygen tank, would you like me to pray for you?"  She immediately bowed her head and said yes.  I prayed for healing for her and then asked her if she had ringing in her ears and headaches.  She said yes!  So I prayed for those to stop.  Pricillia and Stacey both prayed for her and encouraged her.  The woman looked up at us and thanked us.  She then said that she knew who we were.  We were shocked.  She said that we knew her daughter.           When she revealed who she was, we marveled at God's goodness, because we knew how much her daughter had been praying for her mom not only for her health but for encouragement and God led us straight to her that night.  I also had the opportunity to pray for her brother who was there. He was very open.  Later, we shared this story with our friend about her mom and brother, she was thrilled and blessed to know that her prayers were being answered and that God moved on behalf of her family.
         Skipping to the next week...we did the same thing.  We prayed and then went out to where we thought God wanted us to go. That night Stacey got a clue to go to Tim Horton's.  While we were there some young ladies came into the store.  Stacey felt like she should talk to this one girl.  As she started a conversation with her, she began to prophesy over her.  The young girl was a believer and knew she was headed down a wrong path and that listening to Stacey brought her back to the place where she was suppose to be.  While Stacey was with this young girl, Mike and I were outside of Tim Hortons. Mike struck up a conversation with a elderly gentleman.  He shared the gospel with him and literally developed a friendship with him. The man gave him an open invitation to visit him at his home.  A seed was planted and watered.  We ended up praying and prophesying over more people at Walmart that night.  We then came together again at our home and shared our stories.  What an exciting time!  There is nothing more exciting than sharing God's goodness with others, to see God's gifts in operation and watch people's lives change right before your eyes.
            Our vision is to help equip people to go out and share the goodness of God through healing, prophesying and the message of salvation.  We want to train people to do the work that Jesus did...plain and simple.
