Kolonia Glory Chronicles
[Facebook
Post from 2-7-13] Last night a group of us went into the streets and
sakau bars of Kolonia to carry the glory of God to drunk people, gang
members and troubled youth. We brought our guitars, sang songs, shared
our testimonies and preached the gospel of the Father's love through His
Son, Jesus Christ. Many stood up and entered into a personal
relationship with Yeshua void of religion, as "while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us."
The message of the night: You don't need to clean yourself up before you come to God. He wants to meet you right where you are at. Invite Him in. He will change your life forever. You will finally be free. You will experience hope and purpose.

[Spontaneous
Outreach from 2-13-13] Ben, Jesse and I headed to Arnold's for a cup of
coffee as our Kolonia outreach that was planned with Marston and
Alfonso was temporarily canceled because the Every Home guys were
practicing for the upcoming crusade in Daini. While walking back from
Arnold's we thought to go through Pohnrakied, but got chased by some
dogs. So we headed back home using the main roads to stay safe. On our
way back we ran into Marston and Alfonso and decided to hit the streets
for a little bit. Jesse decided to head back to the house, so Ben and I
walked toward Komwonlaid and Omine with the Every Home guys.

We
ran into a group of about seven young people on the corner who wanted
to hear what we had to share. Marston shared the gospel very clearly and
prayed with the youth to receive Christ. While he was praying with
them, I received a word from the Lord that at least one of those youth
had just recently been rejected by a girl that he loved. As I spoke it
out in faith, the oldest of the youth said that the word was for him. I
laid hands on him and prayed for God to heal his broken heart, and that
he would find intimacy solely in the person of Jesus Christ. They were
all floored that God loves them so much that He would give such a
prophetic word through us. We invited the youth to the upcoming crusade
in Daini on Friday.

[Crusade
in Daini from 2-15-13] Originally I was to lead the service at the jail
while Herman came to the crusade in Daini. That day, Herman called and
asked that I go straight to the crusade in Daini and that he would lead
the service in the prison. Jonas and I practiced two original songs for
the crusade, "You'll Be There For Me," and "Where the Wind Blows." With
onlooking youth at dusk in Daini, Jonas and I started the crusade with
these two songs. The youth seemed to like them, especially baffled that a
white guy was singing reggea.

The
Every Home for Christ youth performed dramas and dances as the sun set.
More youth gathered and lined the streets. The Father was drawing many
youth to Himself. Testimonies were also given and Anthony preached the
gospel very clearly following a skit about the narrow road and the wide
road. I had asked Herman if we could invite anyone who wanted prayer for
healing or just a touch from God to come forward. Many came forward
giving their lives to Christ and to get prayer for physical healings. I
am pretty sure that everyone we prayed for received a healing touch from
God. We continue to see the glory of God touch down here in Kolonia,
Pohnpei.
