I believe when you have that pioneering spirit of wanting to reach new tribes and people, you have to be born to want God’s word preached so deeply within your soul and with such deep conviction that nothing will break the calling of Christ in your heart. A depth that is brought from understanding the consequences when people perish without Jesus as their savior. A desire for souls won so intense that nothing will deter you from going deeper, farther in search of the lost. It is like being on a masted ship in hurricane winds when the waves are breaking over the bow. Yet, you hold on to the wheel, pointing the ship into the storm, with no thought of turning back and a fear of the Lord that is greater than any fear of the seas. You cannot surrender or retreat; to do so would mean denying who God created you to be… wes bently

Horizon Brooklyn BBQ Sat.May 29 2010

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Saturday May 29 2010 was a beautiful day in Brooklyn NY, this day turned out to be a day of salvation for many children and adults who attended the church BBQ & Outreach for the community, there was plenty of food for everyone, hot dogs, bbq chicken, potato salad, chips, watermelon wow! All the fixin’s for a good ol time. The children got their faces painted, had a lot of balloon characters, jumped in the bounce house played basketball and they even got in a few swings on the three pinatas that were stuffed full with candy, Oh my what a fun time! The drama team from HSE performed a powerful skit for the audience, Tony Carigan shared his powerful testimony with the audience and gave a invitation to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, followed by Pastor John Connors as he shared from his heart with the people and thanked them for coming to the free event. Pator Roy was cooking hot dogs, Danny was eatin’ ice cream and Tony he was having fun sharing the love of Jesus. I leave you with this scripture Luke 15:7 Just so I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentence.

Marlboro Outreach 2

 

Marlboro Children’s Outreach in Brooklyn, NY was so amazingly filled by
the Spirit, GOD is moving, praise HIM!
      Let me start by introducing myself I’m Jay B and GOD has placed
me in a position of being a family leader of an amazing group of
brothers &; sisters: my coleader Caroline, Shara W., Nadia, Lauren,
Phillip, Ernie & Daniel. We arrived at the out reach with the other 4 of
6 families,  as were waiting for the other two families we start
praying at the play ground, soon after all families arrived.
     The entire family started setting up with the food and chidrens
ministries leading the way. We all help out, how awesome is it when we
all work together as one family. As we set up many people start coming
out of their apartments, hearing and wondering is this really
happening? Families and lot of children came down to enjoy lots of hot
dogs, chips, face painting, fun balloon creations, praise & worship,
playing sports & on the playground but most importantly having a
kioninea fellowship with all Children of GOD.
    As soon as the outreach started the Spirit of GOD came upon the
place with laughter, joy and sharing the Love of GOD. Allow me to
share personal GOD moment experiences. The Spirit was leading me to
talk to children, hence I shared the gospel through how GOD has spoken
to me by the High 5 for JESUS. Basically, one day in class GOD spoke
to me in 5 letter words to be enable me to share HIS love. Here are
some words: JESUS, loves, cross, blood, saves, glory, honor, peace,
trust, truth, first, heart, Daddy & faith. It was definitly GOD at
work because I spoke to 5 different boys and they all accepted JESUS
as their LORD and Savior. There is one thing different I did for the
very first time is I had them sign Bibles I was giving them which I
wrote “I (their name) accepted JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR today.”
This was amazing because they would joyfully pray that then sign it.
      The outreach was about to end so I saw a Bible lying on the
playground so I went to sit next to it just to rest then pick it up.
Little did I know, GOD was going to use me again! A little 12 year old
girl sits next to me and I greet her and immediatly I engage her with
the High 5 for JESUS. I was sharing JESUS through my hand again and in
which she was intensely looking and listening. As I continue on, I
stoped to ask her name and she replied with a sqeeking noise so I
asked her again because I was kind of confussed. I asked her to wait
because I counld not understand her so I took the Bible that was on
the playground and asked her to write her name on the front cover. She
started writing and it said deap, so I asked again because she still
didn’t make sense and she gentlly took the Bible back and corrected
the spelling of that word which was deaf. I could not believe it she
was deaf all along. Right away I asked for her name again and she
wrote Chanell. At that moment I started feeling the Holy Spirit’s
presence. I felt led to ask her if she understood everything
I said about JESUS? She replied w a huge smile and said yes. So we
continued to talk by writing back and forth. As we keep writing all of
a sudden she looks at me and places her hands in the prayer position
in front of her chin and looks at me. We look at each other w hearts
understanding and I  didn’t even ask her if she wanted to accept the
LORD in her heart, the Holy Spirit told me that she wanted JESUS in
her heart and we prayed. So as we finish praying like the boys, I
wrote down what she prayed, saying, I Chanell accept JESUS as my LORD
and SAVIOR on May 27, 2010. She signed it then looked at me and says
thank you, gives me a big hug and started crying with lots of joy, I
was so filled w the Spirit and thanked GOD for using me. GOD spoke to
my heart that moment and said thank you my son as you are my son so is
Chanell my daughter, then I was consumed w the Spirit and started to
cry but I tried to hold back. So, Chanell looked at me a second time
said thank you again w a bigger and longer hug and cried more, then
that’s when I could not hold it in anymore and cried out w rejoicing
from my heart knowing FATHER GOD loves us more than we know. Wow GOD
work through me that day to lead His children even a beautiful, young
lady and I could not contain the joy HE gave I cried the whole way
back to church because today GOD revealed HIS love to me, the boys,
Chanell and the Marlboro community in a  powerful way. Praise GOD!

Sorry for the lack of posting

We assure you, that your kids are okay. Today we had a 3:30 am wake up call and a 5 am departure to beat the city traffic out of New York City.

The past few days have been greatly documented with hundreds of great photos from our old school lomo cameras to our iPhone cameras to our expensive dslr’s. Once we get back to campus we will sort through our photos and better update our blog.

Yesterday we had a free day and many of our students subway’d from borough to borough sightseeing, sharing our faith, and sampling the cities food.
From running into evangelist from the UN who were also handing out the books of John, to sitting silent at Ground zero, to praying at the Brooklyn tabernacle, or eating new yorks best pizza at Lombardi’s – all of the students family groups grew closer to the Lord as they grew closer to eachother while spending a solid twelve hour day walking the streets of NYC.

Were off again, good bye New York, we love you, we miss you, and we hope to serve you again.

Thank you to pastor John Conner’s and the warming concregation of Horizon Christian Fellowship Brooklyn.

Godspeed.
