Testimonies
Hannah USA
I noticed a mother and daughter who had been watching most of the dramas and dances. When the preaching was over, I went up to them to talk but all I could get out of them
was their names and where they were from because of the language barrier. Then, Grace, our translator came out of nowhere and she began speaking with them. They accepted Christ right there. Grace invited them to her church. Praise God for bringing her at the right time!
Kathryn USA
At the shopping mall, I talked with a local Hong Kong woman who rededicated her life to Christ. She said that since having her two children she has fallen away from Jesus and she wants a new start. She wants to attend church regularly again.
Daniel USA
I asked the Lord to help me, to not let me stumble on words in my testimony. He was faithful
and my testimony went well.

Colleen, Singapore
During intercession today, God showed me a girl with 2 ponytails wearing a pink mini-skirt. I met her at the outreach location, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to her. However I was still amazed at how God can be so real. When He speaks and I hear and it really happens! Also, I saw the same happened to my fellow teammates and they lead the person to Christ. It’s really amazing to see God work in the lives of people and see them come to know the true God.
Elise, USA
We performed the redemption drama at our outreach. It wasn’t our best performance and we didn’t feel very good about it. God definitely annointed it because people were touched. Many students said it made them think about their faith. Praise God for using us when we didn’t think we did well!

Testimonies
Jordan - USA
Today at Stanley I was nervous about talking about God to people. But, when I talked to
the first person, I felt completely at ease. They let me pray for them and God gave me
the words to share.
Go Hoon - Korea
While I did face painting many children came to me. I did not tell gospel alot but some people helped me. One Korean Man and two kids came to me. Anna shared the gospel with them and prayed for them. They listened well and accepted Jesus.
Today in Intercession we got the name “Sam” two times. We were also led to pray that God would clear ways misunderstanding. At the outreach one boy named Sam was there but he was distracted and as I silently prayed he quieted down and began to listen. Then another boy came by and his name was Sam also. Another boy named Ken stopped to talk also. In the end all three boys prayed to accept Jesus into their hearts.
Koon Im - Singapore
We met a mother and two sons at the Star Ferry, We teach to a member to tell them about Jesus. Chery led Mark the 8 year old to the Lord immediately. Luke took the oldest son and shared with him and in a short period of time He committed his life to Jesus. We told him that God gave us his name earlier in the day so we were looking for him. He was excited to know that God already knew he was going to be there.
Jeanette - Singapore
I shared my testimony on the streeets in front of a large crowd for the first time in my life. I have always been pretty shy so standing in front of a big group of people to speak is not something that I would normally like to do. I prayed and God not only gave me boldness and courage to speak, but also the word. I would love to do it again.
Sue Anne - Singapore
On the bus to Star Ferry Terminal, During intercession God gave someone the name Cherry. Somang and I talked to a girl during the second outreach. But after a short while, she said she had to find her friend. It turned out that other team members were talking with her friend who was a believer. The first girls name was Cherry. After we talked with her a bit, told her how God viewed her she accepted Christ.

Testimonies
Daniel, USA
I picked a chair at the school and watched who sat in it. I thought God put it into my mind. When the young kids sat in the chairs, a girl sat in the one I picked. She looked very sad. I prayed for her the whole time. After Kelley gave the Gospel and prayer, the girl was cheerful and happy.
Anna, USA
God really gave me a love for the kids and teachers and such a burden to pray for them. They are so precious.
Coco and Gigi, two girls that interviewed me, were so friendly! The kids seemed to open up and so many said yes to Jesus.
Ahmee, Korea
During intercession I got the name “Peter” for a little boy. In the school kids came to interview us. For a long time I didn’t have any child that wanted to interview me. Then one boy came to me with a shy face. And he introduced himself as “Peter” – Wow! He didn’t speak much English, but now I have a Christmas card from Peter.
Richelle, Netherlands
In intercession I had a picture of a blue jacket with red and blue. At the outreach location I was amazed to see that all the kids were wearing blue jackets with red and white stripes.
Jordan, USA
During the outreach I saw several things come true that God had showed us during our intercession time. It simply showed how real God is. I was really touched.

Testimonies
Luke, Canada
During our one on one time with the students after our performances, God gave me a word for one of the boys. He told me that the boy’s heart was soft. During our time of sharing in the group, this boy began to cry. He was the only one I noticed, displaying such emotions. I shared this word with him, encouraging him to continue allowing God to work within his heart. He received this word and from his reaction I could tell he was surprised, perhaps that God cared enough to speak to another person about him. I believe these words ministered to him on the heart level.
Koon Inn, Singapore
God led Celine and I to this 13-year-old girl, Theresa. And gave her PS 139 to tell her she is special. She felt herself not pretty and not good enough and tried to kill herself a few years back.
God gave me Matthew 5:1 to read to the kids and they were surprised because it was the same very verses their teacher was teaching them in their bible class the day before. And they were amazed.
Jeanette, Singapore
I led my first person to Christ today. It was a 14-year-old boy who had heard about Jesus and wanted to accept him, but couldn’t believe in the miracles Jesus performed. After different ones shared about why they believed in Jesus and how Jesus was real to them, he was ready to invite Jesus into his heart. It was truly an amazing experience to be able to lead someone to give his heart to Jesus!
Sue-Anne, Singapore
During the first outreach I got a word of knowledge that there is someone in the group with the name Kelly and that God wants to tell her that he loves her and that she was beautiful inside and outside. Later, when we split up into groups, there was a girl called Kelly in my group and I managed to tell her what God had to say to her.
Jordan, USA
I was really nervous to share my testimony, so I prayed the night before I went on stage. As I said my testimony, I felt peace. It went very well.
Rachel, USA
All of the students enjoyed the dramas. I was able to share God’s love with two girls who had never known about it before.
Brittany, USA
During the one on one time we split up into groups and in my group I asked who had just prayed at the altar call and 5 girls raised their hands. Praise God!
