HOPE HOBART - FIRST MISSIONS TRIP TO LAUNCESTON
Praise God for our 2nd Anniversary on Sunday. After the church anniversary, 12 of us from Hope Hobart went to Launceston for our church's first mission trip from Wednesday - Saturday.
Below are some highlights from our trip:
One of the non-Christians (Sophia) who came along to the mission trip accepted Jesus into her life during our evangelism training where the gospel was presented and people were learning how to share their faith and the gospel message. While Sophia went out with us for evangelism that very morning, she boldly shared her faith and testimony as to why she made her decision to accept Christ.
We also did prayer walk and evangelism at the city of Launceston and at the University of Tasmania campus situated also in Launceston. We were encouraged with our ‘spiritual babies’ who went out and boldly shared the Gospel, many for the first time, on the street. One Korean new believer found it difficult evangelising on the street when he encountered rejection, but found it easier to share the gospel in Korean to his housemates.
God also gave us the boldness to praise and worship Him in the middle of the park near Launceston and we also prayed for the city together. A new and stronger team was built during the trip as people spent time together and participated in great fun team-building activities leaving everyone which brought much laughter and fun. Praise God that all the young members want to get involved with mission again! Four of our new believers are keen to get water baptised and to bring friends to, and help out with Hope Hobart events such as O Week & Alpha etc. On Sunday, we saw them put their words into action, with one believer bringing 3 new visitors.
