Suzi, Heidi and Christine
Update from Heidi (and the team) on table outreach last Sunday:
We had another glorious Sunday as we were blessed with nice, but slightly chilly, weather. We set up at our usual location in front of the Post Office at 32nd Street and 8th Avenue.
Several people came by the table, including the veteran and the young muslim man whom we had witnessed to the previous Sunday. Incredibly, right before the Muslim man stopped by, an Indian Christian man approached our table and as we were speaking with him, the Indian Muslim man approached and both were able to engage with each other. We suggested that the Muslim man might want to attend church with the Christian man, but apparently, he was not able to at that point. Another lady gave us a small donation, which we informed that we would return to the ministry for the purchase of supplies.
The liberal Christian whom Suzi had engaged last Sunday stopped by again, and this time we advised him that in order to be a Christian and call himself as such, he had to believe in the doctrine of the Apostles as well as believe that the Bible is the literal and infallible Word of God. We encouraged him to approach the Lord with an open heart toward understanding the Scriptures with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Hopefully, he took our advice.
We were out at our location from about 3:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Once again, all the Bibles were gone within the first hour and many other materials were given out. We saw some familiar faces as well.
We continue to give thanks and praise to Jesus for the many opportunities He is giving us!! Pastor Matthew Recker advised us that he ordered a combination of 230 pamphlets from Answers in Genesis and that someone sent him English-Hebrew bibles for our table. We are in continual prayer that more sponsors will provide resources as the Lord leads.
Additionally, we were able to give out our contact e-mail for follow-up questions...Next on our agenda is to make some ministry cards with our contact information.
If the weather falls below 55 degrees in December, we anticipate setting up the table ministry somewhere in the subway passageways beneath 42nd Street - Times Square.
Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!
Shalom!!!
