Day 12 - Wednesday 2 Oct

Perranporth team report

Monday
D2D.
Man sweeping garden and saw walkers enquiring.  He recognised one walker who had prayed for him 20 years earlier.  At that time he had been struggling in his walk with God.  He has grown spiritually a great deal since.  The man and the walker were both greatly encouraged and the man was prayed for.

Craft Event
Walker shared with a lady his experience of the recent suicide of his son.  Lady shared that she had previously considered suicide.  Walker prayed with her for healing and her faith was very much strengthened.

Cream Tea Event
Walker was sharing about the mission and was suddenly joined by a male holidaymaker.  Walker discerned that man was earnestly seeking God.  Walker took man aside and led man through KGP.  Man eagerly said the believer's prayer.  He went off to tell his wife after experiencing true peace.

A personal reflection from the Falmouth team last week;

We had a great time; quite a number were brought to the Lord during the week.  For example, Saturday 21st met guy on Falmouth pier fishing (my forte) he was having difficulty casting - showed him how and chatted - disclosed several difficulties - asked him to New Life - Monday he came then back Tuesday when he gave his life to the Lord.

On the doors Monday called at house - phone ringing - young mother came to door - within a few minutes she gave her life the Lord phone call ceased Mother came who was a Christian!!  Another day called at a house and two young women answered - one at a time they too gave their lives to the Lord - almost as if they were waiting for us - so it went on during the week.

What a wonderful gracious Lord.

Wadebridge
At a healing service last night about 20 people came forward for prayer including a couple who both made a commitment and another man who was clearly seeking and close to a decision. The local church are following them up and an Alpha course starts in about 10 days.

The church leader spoke that he had had a clear message that there would be 50 new converts as a direct result of the mission.

Report from Par
'We are having a blessed time here in Par with 6 new commitments and church members are being very encouraged, blessed and stirred as they bless us.  Rain kept us in yesterday somewhat but God was working in the things we did inside.'

Camborne report from a Church Leader
'God visited Camborne, Cornwall in a mighty way from 21st through to 30th September 2013. People were saved, others heard the Gospel on their doorsteps, in the streets, or in pubs. A hotel was hired for a whole day at which over 230 people were reached. Pupils in schools also heard the good news. A big 'Thank you' to the TFM team who gallantly worked with us and spurred us on. To God be the glory. Only eternity will reveal the results.'

(Camborne and Redruth worked amazingly well together to particularly support a small fellowship that is growing and just this last weekend appointed a new senior pastor who's first job will be to follow up nearly 40 contacts from the mission).

Camelford

'Here's a story about a lady, who came to faith at our healing service in Camelford tonight Tuesday):

The team met her at lunchtime when she came into church asking for food vouchers.  Some of the team took her down to the local Food Bank and in the course of the conversation was invited to the healing service that evening.

Not as many people came to the healing service as anticipated so Roger Murphy asked me (team leader) to stand down 3 pairs of people we were going to be praying.  I messed this up by sending the person who was going to give his testimony to the pub!  As soon as the service started I realised my mistake and ran down the road and mercifully found him.  Then I turned round and noticed the lady waiting outside the venue for the healing event.  I took her in and we sat together.  She was visibly touched by the meeting, the singing seemed to help her, as did Roger's message.  She prayed the prayer of commitment at the end of the service.  I could see that she was being touched by what the Holy Spirit was doing and she asked me to take her outside so we went, followed by another team member.  We prayed with her and then brought her back inside and gave her literature and took her details.  In the prayer meeting prior to the service two of us had pictures that related to her coming to faith.  After giving her life to the Lord she looked so peaceful, so full of joy.  Her personal circumstances are  tough and I know that it took a lot of courage for her to come tonight but the Lord clearly met with her.  She's been invited to a Ladies' evening on Thursday and her partner says he's coming to the Mens' Breakfast on Saturday.  Tomorrow I'm going to be arranging more long-term follow-up with the local churches.  God is so amazing.'
