Juan’s Firecamp Testimony

Juan sent me this testimony to share!

During Firecamp we learned that evangelism is a lifestyle, not just an event.

One morning during breakfast, one of the waitresses came to our table and I felt I had a word for her. I asked if I could talk to her for 5 minutes whenever she was available and she said yes. I asked her about her relationship with God and how she was feeling about God. She was a little confused about the question so I decided to be specific about what I heard from the Holy Spirit.

I said “I believe maybe something happened in your life that hurt you and made you question God or even blame Him, and I just wanna tell you that whatever it was, it wasn’t God’s fault, He actually sees you and cares about your pain, and He wants to reveal himself to you as a good father.”

When I said that she immediately started crying like a baby so I asked her why, and she told me that she lost her father during covid, and he was the most amazing person she knew, and she felt it wasn’t fair that God allowed such a good person like her dad to die like that, and since then she’s been away from God and blames Him for it.

But that morning, just minutes before breakfast she said she was missing her dad and she questioned God “why did You take him away from me?” And a few minutes later she received a word from me saying that it wasn’t God’s fault, and that He sees her pain and cares about her, and He wants to reveal Himself as a good father for her.

That morning I told her about God as a father and what do we do to join his family as his children. I preached the gospel and she gave her life to Jesus and she said that she was feeling like a weight came out of her chest.

Evangelism is a lifestyle! No matter where you are, you can always be a light to the world. We don’t need to wait until the next event to share the gospel, we can do it anywhere, all the time! This is one of the lessons from Firecamp that impacted me the most and now I’m sharing the gospel to everyone, from uber drivers to complete strangers in the street and it’s helping me to set an example to the people at my church and the outreach team, and it’s been awesome!
