A Family Changed... for GOOD

In Apopka, an entire family was impacted when the power of the good news landed right on their doorstep.  Olga, an immigrant from Mexico, was out washing her car in the driveway of her home, minding her own business.  I showed up with 2 members of our team, and began to talk to her.  She spoke little English, but as part of this divine connection, God sent me - a legal resident of Argentina!  In Spanish (the heavenly language!), I shared the simple gospel with Olga.  She made Jesus Lord, then invited us into her home where her three adolescent kids did the same!  It was a Book-of-Acts experience. POWERFUL.

Here you can see our happy and enthused trainees (right), fresh off the streets of their community in Apopka, Florida.  A total of 53 students from 6 local churches were trained in personal evangelism by Michael Lusk.  In just the first day of person-to-person evangelism, hundreds received a direct gospel witness, and 25 made decisions to accept Christ!

Apopka trainees had this to say:

"The workshop helped me see how easy it is to open up to people and talk to them about Jesus.  The community outreach was a very positive experience.  We had 7 people receive Jesus as their Savior [in our group]."  -Kim, 36

"AWESOME!  It was fun, exciting, contagious, and enlightening."  -Jeanne, 54

"Today, I lead 18 kids to the Lord. It was a great experience..."  -Karly, 15
