Following up with those who heard the Gospel at our soccer outreaches!

As we have followed up over the past month with those who filled out response cards at our three evangelistic soccer games in May, we have been encouraged.

Our summer intern from the seminary in Port-au-Prince, Fenick, has been calling people on the phone and then referring them to volunteers in the town where they live to invite them to Bible study and church.

Fenick has a way of making people feel at ease on the phone and has had several good conversations with people. In one case he talked to a woman who has gone to church all her life, but was never sure that she was going to heaven. Fenick had the opportunity to share what the Bible says about religion vs. relationship!

In another case, he called up a number and asked for Garina. The woman on the phone said that she was the Mother of Garina. So Fenick explained to the Mom why he was calling and she gave him permission to talk to Garina who turned out to be a 14 year old girl. Garina seemed to understand the Gospel well and had the desire to go to church, but felt like she did not have the proper clothes to wear. (In Haiti, most people feel they have to “dress up” to go to church and churches are more traditional in this sense.) So after he talked to Garina, he asked to talk to her Mom again and got a chance to share the Gospel with her as well. The Mom was so excited about the Good News, that she said she would buy some clothes for Garina so she could go to church. (We are praying that the Mom will also go!).

So please continue to pray as we follow up!
