Union Square Street Meetings

14st Union Sq


It was the last outreach of the month, and the last night for the Holes family. Shawn and his family are missionaries from Lake Placid, NY. They have been laboring with us for 4 months in Union Sq, and it has been a blessing to see a family labor together. We thank God for them and love them to pieces. and pray God continues to bless them as they continue to reach the lost with the gospel. Also visiting was a group from PA, who could sing beautifully

It was a huge crowd, our Tibetans were back, protesting the injustice from China. We waited till they were done, and we started to set up. The Brethren from PA began to sing wonderful hymns, harmonizing with one another. After a couple of beautiful hymns, the preaching began.

It was a amazing night, Christians from the area got up to to mic and shared their testimony of how God saved them. Our friends from NYSUM, were there as well, sharing with the lost. At one point if felt like a Sunday service. : ).

It is always amazing, to see power of God work in the hearts of those who hear the gospel. A young lady, Olia, was so impacted by the gospel. she kept walking away, to walk right back and listen to more preaching. I along with others had a chance to speak with Oila. The Lord allowed me to show her Isaiah 53, in which she read for herself, covering her mouth in shock as she read.

Before the night was over, sister Liliy and I prayed with Oila, then I exchanged emails with Oila, and I promised her I was going to pray everyday for her. She was deeply touched. Yesterday i got a replied back from Oila, and she still can't believe there is a heaven or hell, and that nothing is purely good or evil. Even though it wasn't the response I had hope for, I am glad she responded.

I will continue to pray for Oila, and for all those who heard the gospel. May the Lord, have mercy, and may his spirit give them no rest, until they cry out "Lord be merciful to me, a sinner"( Luke 18:13)

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day."John 6:44
