What It's All About, Part II
As it turns out, my experience on the plane, Saturday, October 20, (see post entitled, What It's All About) was only the beginning of a historic week of salvations we were blessed to witness and record at Mosaic.
That same evening, we hosted an evangelistic crusade for the Latino community living in and around our church. Nicky Cruz was the featured speaker and that night, more than 40 people embraced Christ by faith.
The following day, Sunday morning, Dr. Daniel Sanchez served as a guest speaker at Mosaic and 12 more individuals responded to invitations to receive Christ offered at the end of both services.
By Thursday, October 25, Mosaic's short-term missions team in Antioch (East Asia) sent us a text message to say that they had led nine individuals to the Lord in a span of only four days, including a Muslim woman who was blind. This is truly remarkable; for when we began going to Antioch, there were only 100 known believers among the 9 million or so Asian Muslims in the entire country. Since Mosaic started targeting the city of Antioch (the true name of this town is intentioanlly withheld), however, God has used our people to help bring a dozen people to Himself.
Cesar Ortega, Mosaic's Pastor of Latinos and Benevolnce, led a Guatemalan to Christ that same day, and by the end of the week, Amos Gray, Mosaic's Youth and Children's Pastor, reported that four had come to Christ after hearing him speak at a Lutheran high school in Nebraska.
All totaled then, some 67 people came to Christ via the efforts of our people from Saturday, October 20 through Friday, October 26! And I share such things not in anyway to boast, but only to comment once again on the power and pleasure of God that is uniquely displayed via a people who walk, worship and work together as one in Him via the local church. Indeed, it is the healthy multi-ethnic church that provides us the most effective means for reaching an increasingly diverse, sectarian and cyncial world in the 21st century.
