| Evangelism
On the second day of evangelism all the youth from the London Church
went to the Vauxhall market, in London
Non of us had ever been to the Vauxhall market and so we asked for directions
from a homeless person sleeping in a doorway. After indicating to us
the way, this man shouted at us and said: "- Pray for me,
because I want to have a better life."
Who had said
that we were Christians?
It could only have been the Holy Spirit of God.
We prayed for this man and he said, full of faith: "- You
will never meet me here again, because starting from today I already
have a better life."
When we arrived
at the market, for a moment I thought that I was in Portugal, or at
least on the Island of Madeira, there were so many Portuguese families
there that we lacked time to speak with them all.
My friends, the power of God was so tremendous in that place that the
devil soon manifested himself in such a ferocious and aggressive way.
Before
our eyes, a youth (aged between 18 and 20 years) was stabbed in the
heart by someone who was about the same age. After struggling, the youth
lost his senses and fell right where he had been standing.
Naturally, the people around were distressed and then a man who checked
his pulse confirmed that he was DEAD. The panic spread rapidly,
and some fled in distress, indeed it was a dramatic and difficult situation
to explain.
Once again, my wife and I were covered by the power and boldness of
God, and together with other youth present we raised our hands and began
to pray in tongues, quietly, but with faith, intensity and determination.
An ambulance appeared after about half an hour, and when the state of
the young man was confirmed, the police began to move the crowd because
they were treating it as a criminal case. A policeman asked me to move
away but I said to him that we would not leave because we were praying
for the young man. Nearly everyone left the area but everytime the policeman
looked towards us it appeared that he didn't see anybody and continued
moving away the rest of the crowd.
A few seconds after God had confirmed in my spirit that the youth had
been Resuscitated, we left the area because the work of God had
been done.

Where the youth was resuscitated, Glory to God!
I encourage all
the brethren to cloth yourselves in the power of God because this is
the time for all of us to win the world for Jesus. We know that the
salvation of these souls rest on us.
To finish I would
like to share that one of the Portuguese people that had refused to
receive a pamphlet from one of our youths said to me:
"- This world is ruined, I was born into and grew up in a religious
family, but I don't believe in politicians, priests, and religions,
how can you prove that God exists? You alone are not going to manage
to fix this world, so I refuse to listen to what you have to say."
This is what I said to him: "- I agree with you, this world
is ruined, and I cannot fix it. But Jesus can- That is why I am here
today."
Without any more
arguments he said: - "Give me one of those pamphlets so that
I can read it on the Metro."
The seed is sown.
This man recognized the authority of God and in his time he will be
saved.
Glory and honor to Jesus.
