"The Holy Spirit is the way to go," shared Prestege, as she recounted her experience sharing the Gospel at the Chinhoyi University of Technology. Arthur Nhau, LTLA Director, encouraged the ministry trainees to allow God's Spirit to help them when sharing the good news of Jesus with students. With the lifting of all Covid-19 restrictions and all the students back on campus, there have been ample opportunities for Gospel conversations.
"Honestly, I have used my own intelligence when sharing the Gospel with people so I wanted to follow Arthur's encouragement to let the Holy Spirit guide my conversations," continued Prestege. "It was an experience I had never had before. After knocking on six doors and finding no one in their rooms, I prayed asking the Lord to lead me to someone and for the Holy Spirit to speak through me. In the next room I found a girl named Mercy and as I shared about Jesus I felt goosebumps. I was so nervous as I wanted God to speak through me and I wasn't explaining things very well but Mercy said she wanted to receive Christ. It is very evident that the Holy Spirit is at work in her as she is even calling me to interact more about her new life in Christ. Wow, what an experience to see that the Holy Spirit is there with us!"
There have been three other students who have received Christ so far this semester: Kelly, Leen & Zvikomborero. The Friday afternoon fellowship meetings have been well attended, with students inviting their friends. This is giving the LTLA Training Ministry team even more opportunities to share Jesus. After two and a half years of very limited contact with students, we are grateful for the movement of God's Spirit among students at Chinhoyi University of Technology. (See photos below of the LTLA campus ministry efforts.)
As Paul encouraged Timothy to "fan into flame the gift of God" and "to not be ashamed to testify about our Lord," would you pray 2 Timothy 1:6-8 for the LTLA team? They want to continue experiencing the "spirit of power, love and self discipline" as they share the great news about Jesus.
Hallelujah, those in Christ have received the Spirit of sonship and can cry, "Abba, Father!" (Romans 8:15)
We don't have a photo of Prestege and Mercy to share but do have this video of Prestege leading the 5-8 year olds in a song during a recent LTLA Children's Bible Study. The Children and Youth Bible studies continue to be well attended as you can see in the video. With the 30 in this youngest group and 25 in the 9-12 year old group, along with 20 in the oldest group (13-16 year-old high schoolers), we are transporting 75 kids each Saturday to the LTLA Community Center for Children & Youth Bible Studies. God is certainly blessing our efforts with primary, secondary and college students.
