Chronicles of some fishers of men (Part III)

Saturday June 5th, 2010

A friend and I took to the streets at the Harry Gwala Stadium where a Carnival was taking place welcoming Team Paraguay to the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. We never got to see the team or the foreign supporters, but we had a wonderful time witnessing to the locals and proclaiming our Lord Jesus Christ to the multitudes that turned out on the day. It was truly a blessed day for our gracious God – we handed out between 700 and 800 Maradona tracts.

Gary witnessed to Wendy and Goodness and his friend witnessed to the two youngmen

At times large groups came to ask us for the tracts – some mistook them for tickets to get into the stadium, but we assured them that they were not tickets, but a Gospel tract that explains that they need to get right with God and they need to repent of their sins and trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. The Lord was using the foolish things of this world to get His Word of Truth out. Even after explaining the tracts to them and that they were not tickets to get into the stadium – they gladly received them. You can view all the photos at this slide-show or check out the photo gallery (Parts 1 to 3 of this series).

We raised the level of our voices to let people all around us know that we were there to proclaim Christ Jesus – and tracts got into the hands of young children, teenagers, youth, adults, security, SAPS Law Enforcement officers, Carnival participants, passing vehicles and bikers …

It was truly a blessed time all for Almighty God’s Glory. Paul and I rejoiced – we had a wonderful time serving our King.
