This time around half of us went to Groote Schuur Hospital while the other half went to Rondebosch
About +40 of us came ready to experience the power of God move in people’s lives on 13 April 2011. Some of us did the God Test, some outreached ‘Treasure Hunting’ style while the hospital team went trusting God for miraculous healings.
And, there were many testimonies afterwards of people being healed in the hospital, people breaking down into tears as they were told of God’s love for them and many others. We’re putting a video together of some of the guys sharing their testimonies. I’ll post it up soonest!
My encounter:
| The team I went with met with people from the Hare Krishna faith who, in our terms, were doing an outreach of their own. They were chanting their god’s name hoping to get more people to sing along with them in the belief that singing god’s name brings his presence to earth. |  |
We walked up to them and started chatting to them. We put aside our ‘outreach faces’ and asked them to tell us about their faith. this led to a 40 min conversation (not argument) where the lady (whom I was speaking to) told us in detail why they believe what they believe. We merely posed questions to her in hopes to minister the truth, questions such as “What gives you the certainty in your belief”, “what’s the criteria for heaven, who decides and how do they decide?”
At a stage she asked us the same questions and we got a chance to minister the gospel of Jesus to her and how that’s changed our lives. Her response was that “that’s what works for you and in our faith we accept that…” She then had to leave. We’re trusting that God planted seeds on her mind & heart and that what we ministered to her will go a long way to bring her salvation.
It’s also encouraging to see that though we step out in faith for God to reach people, God also meets us and we always leave so encouraged and blessed to see Him at work.
