TLC street evangelism
The TLC Street Evangelism team took to the streets of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston with a heart to follow Christ’s great commission:
Matthew 28:19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Wayne led the team over the three day outreach starting with a morning's training, which a member of the team described as ‘boot camp for street evangelists!’ Each day started with a time of teaching and worship. Our team for this outreach was made up of Christians from St Mary Magdalene Church, Salvation Army, Oasis Chapel and Lake Green Mission
Our team spent three days (9 til 4) sharing with the people of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston the love of God. We know that God wastes nothing and the two days we took a picnic the Lord brought hungry men to us to feed! One of the young men we fed in Great Yarmouth gave his heart to the Lord in Gorleston when he met a second time with our team – Praise God!
We were blessed with the use of St Mary Magdalene Church in Gorleston to meet each morning, the use of the Minster Car park each day and a very warm welcome from Neil and his team at the coffee shop in the Minster
When we go out we believe we are planting seeds and gave out 3,000 gospel tracts which we know will bear fruit because God says:
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it
Street Evangelism is not for the faint hearted as many rejected Christ’s message and not always in a polite way! We were greatly blessed each day by other Christians encouraging us in our work. The team members had countless conversations about Jesus and the Christian faith and 2 people gave their hearts to the Lord
