Life Changes on St. Catty street

Well, today (or yesterday because it`s 1 in the morning) was long!!! The Youth with a Mission group is so cool though. I really enjoy being with them, especially watching them grow in Christ and sharing Him on the streets. It`s intimidating, but Jesus was rejected by His own creation, so we are encouraged by Him and encouraging them through Him, because God is amazing!
This afternoon, we went out on the streets, and praise the Lord, He held the weather off until we had finished, and Tony led someone to the Lord! His name is Derick, so be in prayer for the new brother in Christ. I had finished my message, and while Tony was talking to someone else, I just started a conversation with a random dude that was walking by. I asked him a few simple questions, and this was a guy that wasn`t really sure about if God existed when we started. God pulled down so many walls in his life during our hour and a half conversation though. He left believing that there is a God, that he is a sinner (which took a long time to figure out for him), and that there is a payment that needs to be made to God for those offenses. Praise God for bringing Maxime so far on that route.
The team was so encouraged by what happened on the streets today. They were having conversations and not being ashamed of the gospel and of Jesus at all! It was good to get to see them really digging in. We had some monsterous crowds tonight, and they were staying through the whole message, and staying through to hear about Jesus. Praise God when they don`t leave as soon as the word God is mentioned.
I want to ask you all to be in prayer for the YWAM (Youth with a Mission) team. They will be leaving for Africa for 5 and a half weeks as soon as they leave here on Sunday. Please pray for them all. They are an amazing group of students that want to serve Jesus and share Him with the world. I will include all their names on the next blog because there are some from South Korea and I don`t know how to spell them all - but I do call one girl `Hey Hey`, because her name is (phoneticly) Hey Yung, but I think that hey hey is real cool. But please be in prayer for them, and for the ministry here in Montréal, and that God would be pleased to continually release people from their bondage to sin, and allow them to be free in Jesus.
Okay, I`m really tired and tomorrow is Canada Day, which really means nothing in Quebec except that is the day that people move. But nonetheless, we will be on the streets, and it will be a long day, no doubts.
This morning I read about Jesus and the dude that had a legion of demons in him. When he saw Jesus, he bowed low in reverence, even with demons in him - they bowed to God. His life was changed - and the people became scared of Jesus and sent Him away. May we seek for Jesus to be presented, not sent away, and may we be about this work of ministering to those that the world just wants to shun away and put in a cemetary somewhere. The dude wanted to follow Jesus after Jesus released him of all the demons - but Jesus told him to go and share about what had happened to him. I`m sure that he was an evangelist that no one could argue with, because his life had been so transformed by Jesus! Be continually transformed - not conformed to this world - Romans 12:1, 2

Transformed and relying on Him.
