Prayer Request: Toronto Pride Weekend June 23-25

[image][img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4858/2213/400/logoPride2006.gif[/img]

This week is Pride Week in Toronto, Canada and there will be over one million visitors who will come to the city to be apart of this week. There will be people from virtually every nation on the earth heading to Toronto, and especially the downtown area. So when Jesus said to preach the Gospel to every creature, and that the Gospel will reach every nation on earth one small way YOU can work for the LORD is to be out on the streets of Toronto to reach lost souls with the Amazing Grace that is in the Saviour Jesus Christ this week.

God willing, there will be numerous Christians descending to Yonge/Dundas and Yonge/Queen over the Friday-Saturday-Sunday this weekend to be a witness of Christ. We will be out to talk to people, hand out Gospel tracts, and tell the Good News of Jesus.

Tenative whereabouts for the Weekend:

Friday 5pm - late Yonge/Dundas or Yonge/Queen intersections (downtown Toronto, Eaton Centre)

Saturday 5pm - late Yonge/Queen or Yonge/Dundas intersections (downtown Toronto, Eaton Centre)

Sunday - early morning to mid-day??

Please do PRAY for us SI! This is going to be a very spiritual intense weekend, may God give us compassion, tears, brokeness for the lost, and also boldness to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Greg,

Some of the homosexuals I've spoken to in the past, admit to feeling deeply bitter about what [i]God[/i] seems to have given them - so far from what other 'normal' people have received.

I think it's very important to express the fact of Jesus' death for their sin, and that there is no barrier to their coming to Him for deliverance and healing, from this essentially idolatrous worship system and lifestyle.

There are many Christians who have left homosexuality for a real transformation into the image of God which He desired for them as males. Some remain unmarried, but many, after a period of celibacy, discover they are genuinely interested in finding a wife and go on to have their own family. I'm sure we all know of them. This may not seem a big deal to very young homosexuals, but as they get older they begin to think about it.

This was a source of the bitterness one man expressed to me - that he could never be a father, if he honestly obeyed how he felt about men. This is a [b]lie[/b] which the gospel opposes totally.

There is also healing for those who did not give informed consent (were children or under 16) to the lifestyle to which they now find themselves in bondage.

I would encourage you to be grateful for every opportunity to really connect with individual hearts, and sow seeds of hope and light in dark souls and broken spirits. I will be praying.

Thank you brothers and sisters, last night went very well. Eli and Ricky open air preached and we handed out 100's of tracts "Canada and the book of Life." We had some profitable one-on-one's and we were standing out on the streets clearly showing that we are living epistle's of Christ.

We are going to the conference to hear richard owen roberts and then will be back on the streets tonight! keep praying for a anoininting on our life's and power when the word of God is preached. Also holy boldness to proclaim Christ.

It is very hard to find the proper words to describe the wonderful things God allowed to happen this weekend. We had great liberty sharing the gospel with people on the streets, having many very valuable encouters one on one and also heralding the gosple out to many which Brother Eli Brayley and Ricky Earle did.

We did have some opposition and spiritual warfare but Oh! the liberty to share our faith with people, what a blessing. To talk of our saviour that died and rose again and that every person must stand before God to account for their lifes!

Some moments of soberness and reverence (fear) in the eyes and hearts of unbelievers! Our prayer was that God would be glorified, defend his name and would grant repentence to many.

Brother Eli came from New Brunswick which is quite far across Canada. Being 20 years old in the Lord but definetly having a maturity beyond his years, I found it very easy to fellowship and speak of the deep things of the Lord with Him. I recently got a few of his audio materials (open air) and also a teaching on sermonindex I do encourage you to hear one of his first sermons preached at a church recently: The Power and Danger of Deception by Eli Brayley

We also had the opportunity to go to a tent meeting with Richard Owen Roberts! It was heaven on earth brothers and sisters! what a time in the Lord. When I heard the prayer: "OHHHH God let your glory fall in this tent, send revival!" I knew I was at home, God spoke to my heart very strongly and I will be sharing and expounding on this over the next month I imagine via newsletter, articles I am going to write and getting the audio sermons by Richard Owen Roberts that was preache this weekend!

Thank you brothers and sisters for the prayers, God was with us! and the grace of God was upon us! what a glorious God we serve!
