Day 20 Thursday 10 October
Here is a link to the St Martins Looe Facebook page with a couple of pictures of the team.
Report from Canworthy Water
'The team has been working in small villages and hamlets and have been greatly encouraged in seeing 2 - 3 people each day coming to faith. This has mainly been though door to door work. The first commitments came when a pair from the team took a 'wrong turning' which resulted in 2 separate conversations.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.'
Further report from Falmouth, from Phil Misselbroke, Local Coordinator
'Churches from Falmouth and Penryn Churches Together had three individual teams working with four churches on their own programs. I was working with the Walk Cornwall 2 Mission flexible team of six plus each day others came from the local churches to help out.
We had a very successful time knocking on just under 600 doors during the week using the TFM personal belief survey with five question.
Following are some of the interesting statistics of the 263 people who filled in the survey.
• 31% believe that God is personal.
• 27% are not sure what happens to them after death.
• 32% believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
• 56% would like to ask God why there is so much suffering in the world.
• And a whopping 60% said that if possible they would like to know God personally.
In one meeting that some of the team were invited to speak at all those attending asked for the Christian booklet ‘Knowing God Personally’. The team must have spoken to over a thousand people through the door to door visiting and other meetings that were laid on. We also prayed for folks and saw 9 people accepted the Lord. Each day we split our team up to do different things. On the Friday half of us stayed in Falmouth while the others spent a day ministering in St Mawes helping a new church reach out into their community.
Throughout the week we felt the Lord’s enabling in many different situations in answer to His people praying and we were amazed at the range of people spoken to from millionaires to single parent families all in need of God’s saving grace shown on the Cross. So the team wanted me to thank all in F&PCT for the encouragements and help shown, all in all a wonderful uplifting time. '
