JP’s Testimony
ONE OFF OPPORTUNITY
As evangelists we preach Christ crucified and relish any open door to do so. In the normal run of things we are to be found in the open-air, either in our own locality or on one of the Mission’s many team events. There are also other opportunities for outreach, such as our Bible Exhibitions, and some of us are involved with school assemblies as well. Occasionally, we are asked to take part in less frequent gospel activities, like the invitation I had to speak at the baptism of 2 people who had recently professed faith in the Saviour. And then sometimes the Lord gives us an opportunity never to be repeated again.
Many OAM supporters will be aware that on 1st October Fiona and I were married in Pembrokeshire. The weather was tremendous and everything ran smoothly. In all the preparations for the ‘big day’ we were very keen to ensure that a clear gospel message would be preached. We knew that so many of our friends and family who would be present were either unsaved or backslidden.

Hymns were selected with a gospel emphasis. ‘To God be the glory’ reverberated around the chapel with well over 200 singing with gusto. Selected readings from God’s Word focused upon the Lord Jesus Christ, thus the service built up to the message. Fellow evangelist, Keith Bullock preached the gospel. ‘Who brought JP and Fiona together?’ was the question he posed. Jesus Christ was the answer. It is He, as Keith went on to explain, that brings us as sinners together with God.
We were thrilled to hear of conversations that were had during the reception. One such conversation was with an agnostic couple. This discussion resulted in a New Testament being gratefully received. We thank the Lord for this opportunity. May we also thank publicly all who prayed for this occasion!
