Ministry Update – OAE

With much fear and trepidation our student body was launched onto the streets of Toronto and Hamilton to share the Good News of Jesus Christ! We left Owen Sound on Tuesday morning and travelled to the campus of the University of Toronto for our first day and Wednesday on Yonge Street outside the Eaton Center. On Thursday and Friday we were on the streets of Hamilton.

Street evangelism was a new experience for many of our students and we used a variety of tools to share the Gospel. The main one was the paint board which was used to draw a crowd and share some of the basics of the Gospel while some of their fellow students waited to talk to listeners after the presentation. Other students handed out tracts or did a religious survey which opened the door for a conversation about God. After it was all over, we were able to talk to hundreds of people who would never go to a church or an evangelistic event, or likely don’t even have any Christian friends. We think that as many as eighteen people made decisions to trust in Christ alone as their risen Saviour!

I think that this past week really opened the students eyes to the lostness of our world, and how they don’t have to be afraid to share their faith with others.

Thank you so much for your prayers! It was such a blessing to be a part of this unique and challenging ministry.
