Navan Outreach 21st Sept 2024
As soon as we landed on the street and turned on the music, we were met with smiles as a woman approached delighted we were bringing Gods message to the streets.
Then as we gathered for our picture a young man came up and announced; โ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐, ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐?โ Here God had arranged a warm welcome for us!
Although our strategy is very similar each time we go out, the Spirit of God brings a newness and freshness to each outreach and no two are the same โ for sure, we meet some people we have met before but new people are encountered all the time, and the ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ซ๐๐จ ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ.
As we gathered for prayer and worship prior to going out God moved so beautifully amongst us and brought a real sense of His approval and acceptance โ ministering deeply into our hearts.

One young man who is a common sight on the streets of Navan broken by trauma and addiction in his life approached โ after a brief conversation we learned he was actually a Christian who had walked away from God. As we brought a message of Godโs love and desire to see His relationship restored โ the young man re-dedicated his life again to Christ.
Another Lady who had a growth on her neck was prayed with by members of the team, and the growth visibly shrank on her neck โ surrendered her heart to the Lord and went away with her face beaming and a joy that was visible in her face.

We were also joined by another brother who had come out with his two young sons to share Godโs word with people on the street โ the presence of God was so tangible and His vibrant life could be felt all around.
