On Sunday the 24th of November there were extreme thunder showers over a vast area of the Free State, including Parys. Just before the meeting begun at 15h00, the thunder was explosive. The rain was coming down in buckets! Lightning was continuous, and finally struck meters away from the pavilion, leaving the sport grounds without electricity for a few minutes. At three o’ clock, God ensured that all was in place and The Holy Spirit begun to change lives, and God saved souls. Those who were present committed their lives to Jesus.
“Parys for Jesus was truly the hardest evangelical outreach I have ever experienced. At times I felt like walking away. But God gave me a task to complete, and I knew that HE would not leave me to face this alone. And so by God’s grace I kept my eyes on Jesus and managed to bring this event together. Regardless of the opposition! And the so many, many, other difficulties and disappointments! “Parys for Jesus 2013” happened and a foundation was laid! God is faithful, and nothing will stand in His way. He is God Almighty, and He will not be stopped! To Pastor Patrick who translated the message into Sotho, and to all who stood by me, I thank you from my heart. The Lord Jesus, Bless you.
