Interns Share Your Story: Learn from Each Other
Hey City Church Interns: Please comment on this post and share about your experiences from Friday Afternoon. God is using you to plant and water seeds of the gospel. No matter how our conversations start or end, share your experience so we can all learn and give God glory!
God answers prayer
Martha and I were partners today. We had the chance to pray for a guy who had a broken ankle. He experienced the love of God and was thankful for the prayer. He said "this is trippy".
Next, after being rejected by 3-4 people when we asked if we could pray for them, we walked across the massive parking lot praying that the next person we met would hear the gospel and accept Jesus. We walked into a store and met a girl who initially didn't want to take a touch card inviting her to Generation Church, but we kept talking, kept asking her questions about her life, kept believing that this could turn into a divine appointment. We learned that she lived in Hollywood as a model, but really needed a change in her life and was looking for peace, and vision for her future. She really needed help on the inside. We shared Romans Road with her, "the abridged version", and asked if she wanted to pray for God's forgiveness, cleansing, and presence in her life. She said YES!!! Her heart was softened; we told her God had sent us to tell her that He loved her and had a plan for her life. The simple gospel and love of God brought her to repentance. She did finally take that touch card and said she would try to visit when in town. Glory be to God.
Romans 2:4
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

This is gonna be crazy
Every Friday The City Church Interns and I get to go to the streets and learn how to share our faith, pray for the sick and needy, invite people to church: ultimately bring the kingdom of God to our city. Just one day at a time, one divine appointment at a time, one person at a time
....this is going to be crazy.
We're excited about the opportunity to share with each other and others about how easy it really is to share the gospel. It doesn't matter what kind of personality you have, how cool you think you are or are not, or if your breath smells really bad sometimes; anybody can preach the gospel. Anybody can lead someone to Christ. As long as you stick to the basics, stick to the pure gospel, "Christ and Christ crucified", and remember that it's not about you; it's all about Him.
Check in weekly and here about some of mine and others testimonies of how God is moving in and through us.
