This last weekend all of the Lifehope teams came together and did a big outreach in Bedford! It was a wonderful weekend to get away from our routines and evangelize as a group. The night we got there the church had a prayer night which lasted until midnight. The worship was amazing- I love those times you just really feel in the presence of God. After that some friends and I walked around the beautiful city. There is a lake which runs through the main part of town was gorgeous with the street lights glistening off of the water. Although it was difficult to get out of the bed the next morning, it was well worth it. The sun was shining, breakfast was prepared by our lovely host family, and we were able to eat outside! We gathered together at the church to pray and afterwards we went to the city center called Pigeon Square to set up everything. It was a large rectangular area with benches in an oval. We had the dance, drama, and mime teams in the center. The majority of the day, people filled the surrounding place and watched the performances. We also had free balloons, face painting, books, coffee and cookies! Worship music was another activity that went on in the square... That was amazing and was totally lead by the Holy Spirit. There were many conversations with the people and several got prayed over! My favorite part was the music... At one point I casually played worship songs on the guitar, then I looked up and people from all over were coming to listen. As some of you know I am no expert on the guitar. I know a few chords to get by on some songs. Through this God showed me this weekend that it doesn't matter how skillful you are at something, He will still use it to show others His love. It was such an amazing feeling to let God use me to show people joy! Not only were we evangelizing through music, but we all had a lot of fun in doing so! Overall it was an incredible experience.
