OC Maryland was a wonderful outreach. We were able to witness to hundreds of people each night. We had great weather each night. People were friendly and willing to talk. The tools that we used helped us to have conversation after conversation.
We got a new campus leader this month, as well as a new assistant campus leader. Thank you for praying. God has answered prayers.
We had huge groups that heard the gospel in most of these conversations. They were grateful to hear the good news of the gospel.
We love the IQ tests and curved illusions to get the conversations going.
Mary tells us:
During Repent and Witness at Ocean City, Maryland,I had the opportunity to share the gospel with a group of young men. As they began to walk away, one paused and said, “Go ahead, I’m going to stay back and talk for a minute.”
That moment turned into a powerful conversation. This young man shared that he was struggling with his faith—struggling with sin, and even wondering if God could truly forgive him.
I could relate. I once wrestled with the very same questions. But as the Bible teaches us:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9
This young man seemed to be trying to earn God’s approval through his own efforts, rather than resting in what Christ has already accomplished on the cross. The good news is that Jesus died for our sins, and He did not stay in the grave—He rose again. Praise God for a risen Savior!
As our conversation came to a close, he asked if we could pray together. Afterwards, he asked for a hug. I won’t forget him. Please join me in praying that the Lord will draw this young man to Himself, that he would find peace and forgiveness in Christ alone.
Please pray for everyone who heard the gospel.
