Lighthouse Mission

Tonight I volunteered at Lighthouse Mission here in Winnipeg. They reach out to the street people. Every other Friday they have an evening church service which has an open format, people can just walk in and out whenever. Food is served through the whole service and there is praise and worship going on the whole time except while someone might be sharing, either some scripture, a testimony or a little sermon-ette. I was asked to organize a team of people from Zion Church to help out with the service tonight. Some of us helped serve food, others simply mingled and prayed with people, I was privileged to preach a little sermon and I invited a friend who came and led worship. After I spoke I asked if anybody wanted to give their life to God and one young man raised his hand so I invited him up and prayed with him! I was able to get a New Testament for him and I am hoping to bring him to church this Sunday.

I am so glad that I could help out there tonight and be introduced to this ministry. I would really like to help out there more regularly in the future. God is so good.
