Faith Outreach

I got a letter recently from a SAC young adult doing a YWAM Discipleship Training School in Thailand. During her time there, she went on what was called a faith outreach. They got on a bus with a destination but with no plan. Upon arrival they prayed for direction and guidance, and stepped out in obedience, as they felt led, uncertain of where they were going or what would happen. That week they met a family who had never heard about Jesus and through their contact with this family the whole household has come to faith and put their hope in Jesus. The school will be returning to visit and follow up with the family in a few weeks as part of another outreach.

What would happen if we gave God our time like this? even just a day, an afternoon or hour... Why is it so difficult for us to step out like this at home?  Let's be more intentionally available and create open time for God to direct us.

Luke 10
 ¹ After this the Lord appointed seventy-two^[a] others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. ² He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. ³ Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. ⁴ Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.    ⁵ “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ ⁶ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. ⁷ Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
   ⁸ “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. ⁹ Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ¹¹ ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ ¹² I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Is it possible that this could be our testimony?  Sent out with nothing, making incredible kingdom impact...
