Caption: In this weeks picture we see a group of teenagers from the Potter' House Church in Bristol on an *Impact Team to Reading performing a gospel inspired dance routine to music on the street. It was a sight to see, young girls ranging from 12 - 20 years old completely sold out for Jesus and not ashamed to proclaim the gospel to complete strangers in a strange city desiring only to 'change the world' with the gospel of Jesus Christ!
*An impact team is a group of people who set off to a town that is not their own to evangelise to the lost (non believers).
Key Scripture:
Mark 5:18-20 (NKJV) ‘And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marvelled.
The full story can be found in the following: Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39
Food for Thought:
Wow! Can you imagine being the gadarene demoniac? Living all that time in caves, a broken life, despair, lost to the world then Jesus steps in, saves him, cleans him up and gives him a new life just like the new life we got when we were first saved. And just like us when we first got saved, he wanted to go with Jesus (to heaven in our case) because he wanted to be with Christ and not go back to his situation. What happened was Jesus said no, go back to your ‘sphere of influence’, your friends, family, neighbours and tell them what the Lord has done for you! That is what we need to do, go back to our sphere of influence and cause a change by sharing the saving gospel of Jesus Christ with them.
The Weekly Challenge:
1.Change your part of the world first - Find someone in your sphere of influence (those in your group or network of friends and family) and share your faith with that one person.
2. Look for someone beyond your boarders to reach out to with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
