Eager to Evangelize

Week 7



Ciao! Finally the weather has cooled down and it’s been raining a lot! It has been six weeks in and our little team is becoming a family! This week on the agenda Danny Lehmann has been expressing the importance of evangelism! Danny is so passionate and spunky I miss him already! The Pismo DTS team joined us for a week and it was great sharing Danny with them.


The most perfect way to start off a Monday is to worship the Lord our God! Then we did a bible meditation on Psalm 23 and asked the lord what he wanted to reveal to us. In lecture Danny started it off by asking us our fears or anxieties about evangelizing. Danny loves statistics and he told us that 85% of people that get saved is through one on one evangelism. After he told us about 7 different witnessing styles and they are intentional, interpersonal, intellectual, invitational, testimonial, demonstrational and supernatural. Evangelism means to give the good news in Greek! Why wouldn’t you want to give good news to someone?


Tuesday, was an amazing day for everyone on our discipleship training school! We had the privilege to intercede for the issue of human trafficking, in different small groups we prayed for the victims, corrupt traffickers and policemen, the Johns, more
aftercare help and much more. Then we helped Tax Aide, a company that gives free help with tax returns, and we passed out flyers for them. Next was lecture and it
was about the messenger who is evangelizing about the gospel. That night there was an intense worship session! We were all singing our hearts out to God and just desiring to be close to him. Steven Binnquist then asked us what is keeping us from drawing close to God. Every student asked God what it was and searched their hearts. After those areas of our lives were revealed we literally nailed those things on a cross and gave them to God. Then Steven told us to say sorry to someone in the group that we might have wronged or forgive those who has hurt us. Soon after that different students started praying out loud and crying out to God. It was one of those moments that could change our walk with God if we meant what we said.


On Wednesday morning there was a family meet where we discussed issues and the outreach portion of our DTS. In Rome, Italy there is a need for us to go there and be present in the community. When we are there we will be making the community aware of human trafficking, evangelism, talking with the people of Italy and finding out their needs so YWAM can be affective in Italy. This is going to be a pioneering outreach since much isn’t established and God is going to do wonders in our lives. Within the next hour we had our devotional time. Then lecture quickly came and we learned how to effectively share the gospel with nonbelievers. Throughout the rest of the day everyone scattered off to their different ministries.

Thursday, we sang worship and bible meditation on Job 36:22-37:24 came after. Lecture got started quickly and Danny went over the motives for us to desire to spread the gospel. After the food pantry started and the rest of the night was free.

Friday the 13th came along and nothing crazy happened, because superstitions are made up! First, we started off with discussion groups on the wonderful topic of worship. Some students thought of an idea to create our own worship session! Then we interceded for San Francisco and for God to have mercy on the city. Sadly it was our last day of lecture with Danny Lehmann and he wrapped up his week with talking about different methods of evangelizing. Soon after there was small groups and then hot chocolate ministry.

This weekend was the annual Pillow Fight in San Francisco!
