After this weekend I was reminded why I love being an evangelist so much. During some weekend ministry in St. Jerome, Quebec, Canada, I had the privilege of personally praying with three individuals to receive Jesus Christ as their savior for the first time. That in itself was a humbling opportunity to see God at work in people's lives. God also moved in the altar times and ministered to numerous people throughout the weekend. One lady came up to us just beaming and testifying that she had been in severe depression for quite some time and the Lord delivered her of it the night before. Besides all that I was honored to meet some wonderful saints of God who made me feel just like family.
I say all that not to exalt anyone but God, and to thank Him for allowing me the privilege of witnessing His providential acts of grace. How thrilling to help usher individuals into the kingdom of God, or help give them hope in desperate times, or see prayer for healing take place, or folks baptized in the Holy Spirit. What a joy to travel throughout this world as ministers of God's grace and proclaimers of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Being an evangelist has given so many a wonderful sense of fulfillment - knowing that they are assuredly in the perfect will of God. Thank you for answering the call of an Evangelist, or for being a walking testimony of the goodness of God if you are in another vocation. Allowing ourselves the blessing of being used by God will undoubtedly provide us with a lifetime of fulfillment and an opportunity to help others find an eternal relationship with a Savior who cares.
