Here are a few fun testimonies I sent to our Evangelism team after doing some unusually fruitful evangelism at TCC campus.
Thursday, September 10-
Wow! Emily and I just got to have one of the coolest experiences. We stopped a girl who was also named Emily, and immediately I felt like the Lord told me a bunch of things about her. She said that she was agnostic but open. She said that she had left the Mormon church and now she doesn’t know what she is.
We shared the gospel with her, and she said that it sounded amazing and she believed in it at about a seven. I shared the things I felt like God had shown me, and they were accurate, which seemed to make her excited that God may be real... and speaking to her! I asked if she had ever had any other spiritual experience, and she said that she had a heavy one when she was in a very dark place in her life, and she heard a voice tell her it was not her time to go.
After that, our Emily suggested that we pray for deliverance because of the dark thoughts that the other Emily had had in her past. When we prayed, I commanded whatever spirit was afflicting her to leave, and she gasped and got lightheaded, and said that a whole bunch of tension had built-up in her stomach and as soon as I told it to go, it left her.
At that point, she felt lightheaded and peaceful, and she couldn’t quite explain how she was feeling. We prayed for the Holy Spirit to come upon her and bless her, and she began to feel more unexplainable, joy and happiness.
After that, she prayed to give her life to Jesus and said that she now believes at a 9.5 at least after the name of Jesus was powerful to make those demons leave her. As she was praying to give her life to Jesus a staff member at the college came up and prayed with us, and as soon as we were done, she testified about the power of the name of Jesus to the staff member!
She downloaded the Bible app and is going to read the book of John, and we exchanged contact information, and she wants to come to church this Sunday and maybe even be baptized this Sunday. The only problem is, she doesn’t drive and she still lives at home and she doesn’t think her parents will like that she has given her life to Jesus. Please pray for Emily that God would open the door for baptism and protect her from persecution.

Person 1: The first person we stopped was a young Hispanic guy named Jonathan, who said that he was from a Catholic family but that he was interested in Christianity. Really, he said his main objective was to see if there was some way that he could know God more. Talk about open and seeking! We shared the gospel with him, which he had already heard. He had already prayed to give his life to Jesus and to confess his sins before as well. We asked him how he knew to do that, and he said it just felt right. He even said that he believed he already had the Holy Spirit, but he said that he felt caught between his flesh and the Spirit, and he often did what his flesh wanted to do. We asked if we could lay hands on him and pray for him for the Spirit to be fanned into flame. We prayed for him and he essentially said that the Spirit was fanned into flame! We gave him a Bible, which he gladly accepted. Also, we prayed for a spirit of depression to leave him, and I think something happened. It wasn’t huge and demonstrative, but my guess is he will not feel what he has been feeling.
Person 2 & 3: Next, we shared with two young guys, Dayton and Corbin. Dayton was a Christian already, and it sounded like he became a Christian in high school as part of some sort of high school revival that is happening right now at Haltom high school. In fact, he is still a high school student who takes college classes. Corbin is also a high school student. Corbin said that his family is atheistic, but he is about 50/50 on whether God is real or whether everything came from evolution. We shared the gospel with him, and we prayed for a sign for him to confirm that the gospel is true. He did not say that he received any kind of enormous sign, but he said he felt like the prayer “opened” something. He said that he was interested now to know more. He downloaded the Bible app, and he will be reading John. We actually led him in the first prayer he ever prayed, which was “God if you’re real, reveal yourself to me.” He said that it was refreshing and he was very interested. I told him that when he read John, I believe that he will hear God speak to him.
Person 4: Next, we shared with a fellow named Pedro, who I had talked to a couple of years ago who was a journalism major. I told him about Lee Strobel, who was a journalist who discovered that the resurrection is a historical event after applying his journalistic skills to researching it. For some reason, probably the Holy Spirit, I had decided to bring one of Lee Strobel‘s books with me today. I never bring resources like that, but I did today. I told Pedro all of that and I asked if he would be interested to read Lee Strobel‘s book. He said that he would and gladly accepted it! Very interesting.
Person 5: After that, we talked to a person named Ella, who was walking around with a clipboard signing people up to vote. She said that she had been a Christian at one point, but she was so burned by so many different churches that she has given up completely on Church and also in believing in God at all. Emily did a great job connecting with her and reasoning with her that broken people exist everywhere, but that does not mean God is not real. I felt like Ella really listened. Then I told Ella about the ministry called DASH my wife works for that helps people who are seeking asylum. Ella is a very cause-driven person, so I told her that she should volunteer at Dash. She really seemed to like the idea of being around Christians who are giving up their time and money to help people from other countries. She said that she was always looking for volunteer opportunities and that Dash sounded like a great idea. I really feel like she will actually look into it.
Please pray for these people, and continue to pray for fruitful ministry at TCC campus. For some reason, the conversations have felt unusually fruitful.
