Chariots Of Light Diepsloot Outreach
To start off this was one of the best weeks of my life we had sessions with Bill Horn all the way from America he came and joined us for the week. While he was here we had an awesome time of ministry with him where he taught us how we can share the love of God with others and get people saved. The way Bill taught it to us made so much sense and it actually looked really fun. Soul-winning is something Ive always been intimated by but bill changed this for me. He made it look so easy and he gave such practical ways of how we can reach people. Leaving Friday after Ministry with Bill i was really looking forward to our Outreach the next day to Diepsloot. I was so pumped up and just wanted to go. Bill through the leading of the Holy Spirit activated me to a level I never thought I would be activated in. So Friday night I brought my Chariots of Light shirt and salvation packs in high expectancy that I was going to get people saved at Diepsloot.
Arriving at Diepsloot on Saturday was a humbling experience. Seeing all the members of the Diepsloot church was so special they were so thrilled and excited to see us. Just us being there you could see it really meant a lot to them and not only did it mean a lot to them but also to those in the community around watching us come in Bikes. It was my first time in the Diepsloot church and it was special for me because thats often where my dad goes and preachers. So to see his heart to go and share the word their really meant a lot to me.
At the church, Ps Melusi greeted us all he explained to us how the soul winning was going to work and where we could go. Bill then spoke and after Bill spoke we were all ready to just go everyone was so pumped and nothing was going to stop us. I went out with Desmond and William guys from the Diepsloot church they are 20 and 22 so we get on really well. Desmond, William, and I started, and the first person we shared with we were a bit nervous but the person had already received Jesus into their heart so we were then able to pray for him. From that first encounter, the rest of my time was just so blessed I led 5 People to the Lord and prayed for 9. Each encounter and each moment to witness was different and the holy spirit really helped me with each person I experienced a new level of Boldness I have never ever had before I was just flowing and it was amazing for me to experience.
I had many God-ordained encounters at the outreach but there were two that really stood out for me. The First one I was by myself I was just waiting in the street and then a young boy walked past me. I stopped and introduced myself to him we had a good starting chat where we chatted about soccer because he loves soccer but he was really reserved and a bit shy. Then after chatting about soccer i asked him if he knew God loves him and he said no. So I told him that God loves him and that God has a plan for his life I shared John 3:16 and just began to tell him about the good news. Then I asked him if he would like to make Jesus lord and saviour of his life he said yes and I was able to lead him in the prayer of salvation. When he prayed that I could see his whole countenance changed he looked so much happier and his body language was already so much better. I asked him how he felt and he said happy and strong. After a few minutes, I then asked him if there was anything I could pray for him anything he needs prayer for and anything he needs help with. He immediately went back into a reserved state and become shy I put my hand on his shoulder and told him it was ok he then came close to me got on his tippy toes and whispered in my ear I dont have a father he died 3 weeks ago. When he said this it broke me. All I did was just share the love of God with him and gave him a hug. I then prayed for him for peace and comfort to come on him. This was a special encounter because I was then able to tell him that God is a father to him and that God is the only father you’ll ever need. He was moved by this.
Another encounter was we went into the pharmacy and we wanted to witness and share the good news with the lady who ran the store we waited our turn to speak to her and when we asked if she knew Jesus she just rejoiced and said yes I know Jesus I love him and I talk to him every day. That was special to hear and we got talking about Jesus after I asked her can I pray for anything she needs. She said for her family so I prayed for her family and that was special. Now after I prayed for her family we were about to leave the pharmacy and this old lady stopped me and said what about us? I said while do you know Jesus they said they did. She had a daughter that was in a lot of pain with her knee so I said to her does she know Jesus heals and she said she did. They asked if I could pray for her knee so I put my hands on her knee and prayed for her this was the first time I’d ever done anything like this before. Afterward, they were so grateful and they loved what we were doing. We got into agreement that her knee is healed I believe her healing is manifesting right now. We left that pharmacy and people were in the pharmacy to see what just took place they all thanked us and were rejoicing. It was amazing to see because the Atmosphere in the pharmacy had completely changed and that was a big take for me from this outreach that we as Christians are supposed to change atmospheres like that.
Overall this was an experience of a lifetime it was a day i’ll never ever forget and it’s something I definitely want to do again. It was so fun and actually so easy. The next day at church Bill spoke and said the anointing transfer has taken place and I received that now for my Life so praise the Lord for opportunities like this and all the glory to him.
