Evangelistic Meeting Experience Essay

764 Words4 Pages

In January, 1994, someone invited me to an evangelistic meeting at Temple Seventh day Adventist Church in Haiti. I spent almost one month listening to the word of God. I found out that God can repair any broken person who came sincerely to him. I decided to give God total control of my life. In July 31, 1994, I received the baptism by immersion. After the baptism, I started having affairs with women again. It was in December 1994 when a friend of my mine had a dream about me.

The helicopter went back to the open sky and left me down on earth. After, he finished explaining the dream to me on Thursday …show more content…

I arrived on Friday night at JFK Airport. The first thing I asked my father was if there is a Seventh day Adventist church in Brooklyn. My mother had already made plan for me with someone named Raymond Medi. He was an elder of Jerusalem French speaking church in Brooklyn, New York. This elder had a small group.

Elder Medi had help me in the continuing of the spiritual journey that I started in Haiti. He taught me how to preach, how to pray, how to do visitation, and how to do Bible study. He had played a wonderful role in my spiritual life. I was fully involved in the church. Whenever, there is visitation after church, I was always there.

Every Sunday morning, I was in the head of a group going out doing Bible study, praying with people, and also comforting those who were depressed. I never get tired of doing ministry.

    My family is good friends with a man in India, Nashod, who, though his experiences were very different, was also chased by Jesus and hounded by Him throughout his entire life. This man experienced miracles, visions, and strange coincidences multiple times, and they eventually led him to my father, who could explain the Christian faith to him. Uncle Nashod’s story, as well as other miracles my family has experienced, has strengthened my faith whenever I experience a moment of doubt.
