“Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;” Isaiah 61:5
We had focus groups that you could serve in called streams. The streams focused on reaching people through sports, music, hospitality, photography, street healings, working with refugees or vulnerable women and a few others.
I was in the intercession stream and we got to wait on God in prayer. We listened to what He was saying, prayed into specific things He wanted us to pray into and got to speak to people that He would highlight as we walked around different locations that He would lead us to.
In the evenings we would all meet for open air evangelism. Our open air evangelism used music, dance and a unicycle show to gather people where we would then share testimonies and the Gospel with them.
I was blessed with the opportunity to sing a song I started writing a couple of years ago during a challenging time in my life. I used the song to share my testimony with people. God also opened doors for conversations through my singing.
Here’s an amazing story of GoD Going after the one.
Meet Ibrahjma Biallo. God highlighted this man to me on our last night in Paris. I was able to talk to him with the help of a friend who was translating for us. During our conversation God was talking to me about specific things he was going through also giving me words of knowledge about him and his family. However, Ibrahjma who is muslim seemed hard or a little bit closed off and kept denying it at first. He was also switching his conversation between french and spanish and even some gibberish words. As my friend was translating, I was praying under my breath when all of a sudden he started crying. Finally there was breakthrough and he opened up and confirmed what God had been using my friend and I to share with him. We talked about Jesus with him, encouraged him then got to pray for him. We hugged and he was so happy because he encountered the love of the Father.
Please pray for Ibrajma. He is a refugee trying to make money to support his family who is still in Africa. Please pray for provision and that he would be able to see his family again. Please pray that he and his family would experience freedom in Christ. Pray that he would grow in knowing Jesus, following Jesus and making Him known. Pray that God will surround him with great community that will help build him up.
Here’s a feW more friends from Paris you could pray for.
Meet Malick. He is a believer in Jesus Christ and a current refugee in Paris. He is a craftsman skilled in making djembe drums but is unable to do that in Paris. Please pray that he would grow in his faith and understand who God has created him to be. Please pray that he is able to find work and that all his needs will be provided for.
Feel free to message me words of encouragement for Malick or what you feel God might be saying to you concerning him and I can pass it on.
Meet Pobga on the far left and his friend on the far right who were reunited through our open air evangelism. Pobga was usually seen hanging out with our group and was there almost everyday during our public gathering. Even when we moved locations for open air, he came too. Please pray that Pobga and his friend encounter Jesus in a personal way. Pray that they would grow in knowing who Jesus is and understand who God has created them to be.
