When I began internship I was slightly worried at where I would fit in and how I would adapt to everything. I’m glad to say, being an intern is an honor and a privilege and I take it very seriously. My first week I did a lot of administration work which was good. I probably filed hundreds of papers, and there was still a pile left! I enjoyed working in the River Bible Institute office.
The second week I was given an assignment to get some perks for all the students coming in, for example student discounts and deals. That turned out to be awesome, and there was much fruit from it. Just finishing the project yesterday, I can say it was very successful and I’m excited to get more discounts for our students through out the year. As an intern you are required to be on the offering schedule. I had no idea what this meant until a couple weeks into the internship.
There are multiple services throughout the week so everyone takes a shift. After the offering message is given, we collect the offerings and count them. This may seem like a small unimportant task to many but I saw it as a great honor. I feel very honored to be a part of counting the Lord’s money. It is not something small, it is a great responsibility. I have found myself counting offering almost every time since. I fully enjoy serving the Lord and counting carefully the money that has been given to Him. I’m learning that the Lord doesn’t really look when everyone is looking, but He pays close attention to the times when no ones is around, when you’re by yourself working at your own level of integrity.
We were at a Fry Food and a girl was waiting at the bus stop. When I asked her was she saved she started crying because she wasn’t sure that God loved because she was 17 with no parents. But she listened to what I had to say and gave her life to Christ. Then said it felt like someone wrapping their arms around her. Also we were downtown and this guy with a cast ran up to me and said that his arm was hurt. So, I prayed with him and he was saved and healed. Then he began to tell everyone around him about his healing.
My experience today was beautiful. I have never evangelized before. The enemy has tried to tell me that I couldn’t do it. But I beat him, and it was wonderful to see people accept Jesus. I saw their faces change before my eyes. This couple wanted someone to pray for their needs and when we started to pray, the wife began to yell to God for help. It was marvelous!!
I walked up to a lady downtown. She wasn’t sure if she’d go to heaven, so she prayed with me. We were walking while praying and when we were done, she stopped. She started crying and said she was just praying in her head at the moment I walked up to her and said she’d been having a really bad day, but now she feels so much better.
Summer Camp meeting was a life changing experience. It was amazing! Every service was full of fire and passion. I received an impartation of the fire of God in my heart. I became more sensitive to the Holy Spirit, aware of the flow of the Spirit of God and even more apt to pray for the sick. It was nothing but a pure flow of the Holy Ghost. This past week was one of downloads. It stirred up a hunger and passion for Christ!
It helped me put myself in a position, continually, to be prepared for Christ’s return! I was also amazed at the awesome miracles that took place. A young lady was blind in her eye and could see. Another lady was deaf in one ear and her ear popped open! The message remained the same throughout the conference which was for us to be ignited to see a generation changed. I found myself, in several occasions, overwhelmed with joy unspeakable and full of glory!
The presence of God was so tangible; it was if God Himself breathed in the place. It was like Heaven on earth! We had the opportunity to bask in the presence of the living God. We were saturated in His presence! There was a love that was flowing as well as great unity among the believers. There was a cry: one voice screaming out for this generation to wake up and heed the call of the Lord! The anointing was so tangible. So much so that several nights the joy of the Lord bubbled so strong in me that when Pastor Rodney came and laid his hands on me, it was literally like a fire that began to pour from the tip of my fingers to the soles of my feet. And the more I yielded to the fire of God; the more I received and it was becoming a consuming fire.
The camp meeting was a complete success. From the ministers to the Spirit of God, to people being ignited and on fire in this generation; we will never be the same!
I was a Christian since 1993. I knew that I need to tell other people about Jesus, but I didn’t know how I can do this. And I really never lead a one person to Jesus by myself. One day two years ago team from Riga (Latvia) came to my church in small city, where we was serving with my husband. I was going together with pastor’s wife Irina Peremot as her disciple on my town streets. I just wondering, how she could answer to so many people’s questions and how it`s happening, that women with the ace cream in hands is ready to pray after her and so easily receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.
I’m coming from Baptist church, so my understanding about what really is Salvation and how you can receive Jesus was very conservative and turned into one way. After this experience, I’m not anymore the same.
I learned how to lead people to Jesus, how to walk in power of Holy Spirit, to be sensitive to people’s needs, pray for them. I felt how compassion of Christ comes upon me, when I going to witness them and ask those tow simple questions. Love of Jesus just covers me and I love to see changes in people’s eyes. Joy and Love come to their lives. I love it! I become a teacher other people and instruct them in other countries, how to win souls for eternity. This is a greatest thing, that I could get for whole my life.
For me it is not about numbers, but about share the Love of Christ and to see the changes, impact in other people’s lives. I`m so glad for everyone person, who seriously accept Christ and make this important decision to fallow Him, who is ready to change from old to new. I encourage everyone go out and see how great that is. Love… Share… Confess… Rejoice.
In regards to soul winning, it is amazing to see how God has used me, just by using the script. It has truly impacted my life to have a tool in my hand that is easy and effective and most importantly a tool that snatches someone who was on their way to hell and is now on their way to heaven. I personally feel so honored and blessed to be in a church that is mobilized to reach souls and is so on fire on God. I know that as a result of this tool,
I personally have been mobilized to reach a lost and dying world that I might not have been able to reach had it not been for this so easy and very effective tool that even a child can use and they do. Winning souls is the core essential to Christianity, without it, I would dare to say that we should not even call ourselves Christians.
To be a Christian is to be Christ like, and Christ was all about winning souls. Before He descended into the heavens, He sent His disciples to preach the gospel to every creature, to lay hands on the sick, to preach deliverance to the captives, to heal the broken hearted, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. I believe that the life of the believer would not be complete without it. There is such a joy and a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment when you do what you’ve been called to do. There is no other feeling like it.
Every church should use this tool in their church and mobilize the people and see how the Lord blesses you. It is very simple, at first I was very nervous, but as you continue to do it, you will get bolder with the help of the Holy Spirit, always remembering that if they reject you, they’re not rejecting you, they’re rejecting Jesus. You are simply planting a seed and after that it’s out of your hands. Go freely! Go bold!
