This section is for recent testimonies from evangelists participating in SFOI Events. These are a couple from NFL London:
Michael Seethaler
The London trip is a fantastic opportunity to be completely immersed in gospel preaching evangelism. The other members of the team will surround you and encourage you to dig deeper, and push harder to proclaim the Word to a city that is in spiritual darkness. The Lord may use to you in the salvation of others, and to encourage the local believers in the city, who may feel surrounded by the doctrines of demons. Not to mention, many thousands of people will hear your preaching at the sporting games. It’s a fantastic opportunity for any believer concerned for the great commission.
Dan Davis:
The London trip was a great experience. 9.1 Million souls in a dense City with a public transportation system that provides areas of concentrated commuter traffic, but, really you get the sense you could preach anywhere and it would be beneficial even the quiet areas. It was often the less busy spots where we had the most conversations. Handing out bible literature is hit or miss, the less affluent an area was, generally the more receptive the public were. England is not as lost a I had imagined, we met many believers but very few are willing to make a public spectacle of their faith. We did meet some who wanted to join us in the labor and some did join us. Jehovah's Witnesses are in a lot of the places we found ourselves.
Another great opportunity to bolster your faith was the Christian Heritage Tour both the British Museum portion (where there were archeological proofs of the accuracy and historicity of the bible) and the ground survey beginning at St. Paul's Cathedral, where the life of believers clashed against the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches of that day and died for the faith and also the impact Christians had on a lost culture because they remained faithful to Jesus and lived it out in their daily lives.
It is a vast multicultural experience, we had heard from a local evangelist that 300 languages are present in the UK.
We are called to make disciples of the Nations and the world is there.
Joe Toy:
If you are looking for an evangelistic mission trip that will stretch you spiritually and help you grow in faith, then join SFOI on one of it's outreaches to London. Recently, I joined ten other people for NFL London and it was ten days of intensive ministry from six to eight hours in the harvest fields of London. The days were filled with outreaches to sporting events, tourist destinations, and small town tube stops. It was an awesome opportunity to share the gospel with thousands of people from various nations, as London is home to many diverse ethnicities. It was also exciting to work side by side with UK believers and also hear from pastors as to how God is working in the London area. This trip will definitely change your life as it stirs your heart to walk closer to the Lord and rekindle in your heart a passion for lost souls. I have been to London four times and can not wait to go back.
