Testimonies
Greetings,
From March 4th to March 11th we hosted our Annual "Evangelistic Services" at our assembly. We as a church have been doing this for 18 years, both in the Spring (March/ April) and the fall (October/ November). We have had tremendous results over the years , such as- One week we had 10 first time Spirit Baptisms with 12 re-fillings-(Some of which had not spoken in 10 years)..we have seen 11 saved in one week...and we have had record crowds in the past. We have seen as many as 45 unsaved in one Sunday night service, I've watched our congregation transform during these seasons of God, etc ,.Needless to say, I really believe in Evangelistic services!
On the above mentioned dates we were privileged to have Evangelist Velmer Bessey with us. Our attendance went from 63 the first night to 105. And the unsaved went from 2 to 14. What made this week so rewarding and exciting was we saw 6 people out that we have never seen before, and some of them came out to more than one service! That might not seem like MUCH, but you would have to KNOW THESE INDIVIDUALS! On the last night we had 4 re-dedications to God, again, you would have to know at least two of them to understand the magnitude of this.
The preaching of God's word was very timely and powerful!One man left the last service in tears, that alone was a miricle of God, even though he was not saved, I believe God is dealing with his heart.
Our cry is that God would sweep through our Church, Town, and province in HOLY GHOST FIRE!..We at Bethel Pentecostal Church are believing God for a Mighty Holy Ghost REVIVAL that would begin in the Pulpit and spread to the pew!
We also appreciate that God gives "Evangelists"- "a messenger of good tidings",Robinson supposes that it denotes a minister of the gospel who was not located in any one place, but who traveled to preach the gospel".
Thank you for the opportunity to report GOOD NEWS for a change!
