Everywhere You Go

Ministry is everywhere we go. It is in every store, restaurant, and venue that we visit. It is in every subway and on every street corner. I love the times that I get together with a group of people and we hit the streets of NYC with the sole purpose of evangelizing and ministering to people but I love it even more when we are just hanging out and still evangelizing and ministering.

It seems that everywhere I go I see people that are hurting and desperately looking for a way to cope with their present circumstance. Some try to cover it with drugs or alcohol while other try to mask it with materialism or promiscuity. There are a million ways that people try to fill the pain and void in their lives while all the while the answer is found in Jesus.

I want to tell you about the ministry opportunities that I encountered while just hanging out with my friends Aaron and Johanna. While walking to the Subway we met two guys named Cherog and Jaime. They were really nice guys and we ended up talking to them for about 30 minutes. We prayed for both of them, right there on the street corner, before we went our separate ways. We prayed for Jaime's dad to be healed from Alzheimers and for Cherog's life to be blessed.

We went to Port Jefferson a few weeks ago and while we were there, we asked a man to take our picture of us in this cool old time looking phone booth. He did it gladly but stated that he had bad eyesight. We of course took this opportunity to tell him about Jesus and to pray for his eyesight to be healed. I love how we were given opportunities to minister right where we were, right in our everyday worlds. Remember, wherever you go there is hurting people that need to hear about the love of Jesus.
