In October, because of your partnership, a team of 13 Americans to partner with churches in Vermont to share the gospel in their community. Some pastors were doubtful that the Operation Andrew prayer model, or even sharing the gospel with strangers, would work. But when believers are mobilized and go forth with the Holy Spirit leading, His word will not return void!

Read what happened when participant, Bucky, acted in faith.



"I first met Ethan at a gas station and offered him a $20 gift card to help pay for his gas, a simple way to show him God’s love. He was amazed because he'd been praying for God to show him a sign that He's looking out for him, cares for him, and that there's hope.

This was no accident; God had put us together in that moment, in that place, for me to tell him about how God loves him and how God proved His love for him by dying for his sins to offer salvation and hope for eternity.

During our brief conversation as he filled up his tank, Ethan affirmed that he had sin in his life that was keeping him from the relationship he wanted with God. He affirmed that he believed Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again, but he didn't know that he could receive that as a free gift or that he didn't have to clean up his life first. I explained that it’s just like the $20 we just gave him; he just has to accept it.

So I asked him some diagnostic questions about his belief in the gospel, and he said he was ready to accept Christ right then and there. He just hadn’t known it was possible. No one had ever invited him to do that.

After leading him in prayer, I asked if he realized that this was something real — not just some words of affirmation, not some kind of a New Age mantra, but a real transformation in his heart and life and eternity. He actually interrupted me and said, 'Yes! I can feel it. I can feel God's love. This is amazing! It's like a huge weight has been lifted off of me and there's light inside me.'

I asked if he knew what would happen to him in eternity and he replied, 'I’ll be in heaven with God, because of this gift.'

About that time, Pastor Billy came up and I introduced Ethan as his new brother in Christ. Ethan gave us both huge hugs as we celebrated together."
