↑ WAS SHY: I want to encourage all Christians to go out with the gospel. Initially, I was very shy, but I experience that God is with me and that He provides boldness when I pray for it.
Alisa Midtrød from Alversund is helping to bring the gospel to people on the streets and squares in Bergen and the surrounding area. There, she meets people who are very open to the message!
I was saved in February 2004. My friend Randi had become 70% blind in her right eye and the doctors could not heal the eye. She went to a healing meeting in Sandane with Svein-Magne Pedersen. I was not a Christian, but I went on the trip. At the meeting, Svein-Magne prayed for her eye. He also prayed for healing of pelvic girdle pain that she had had for 5 years. The pelvis was healed instantly.
When we came back to the hotel, she noticed improvement in her vision. The next morning, she saw perfectly. The healing was documented by an eye specialist in Bergen. I came to believe in Jesus after I saw the powerful miracles that happened. Later, my friend was also healed when Svein-Magne prayed for flat feet that she had had all her life. I am a witness to these healings.
We who have experienced salvation are witnesses that God exists. We have experiences with God that we can share with others. Jesus says: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Svein-Magne has some very fine tracts that describe how to accept Jesus. I hand out tracts, share my testimony, and pray for those who wish for prayer. If people are open to it, I ask them if they want to accept Jesus.
↑ PEOPLE: Alisa does not keep Jesus to herself but willingly shares the gospel at every opportunity.
A while ago, I prayed for healing for two people. Both felt warmth and one said he felt better in his back. I asked if he wanted to accept Jesus. He wanted to think about it and took a tract with him. I witnessed among others to two seamen from Spain, a couple from Tunisia, a taxi driver of African origin, and two young Syrian men. One had a Muslim background and the other was Kurdish. The Kurd translated for the other. I asked if they wanted to pray with me, that they too would experience powerful things with God. They were willing. They would read the tracts when they got home.
A young Christian man wondered how I go about making contact with people. I explained a little, and he joined me on a small evangelizing round. I talked to several people, including a group of five young people. They accepted tracts and listened to the testimony. Two young students wanted prayer for exam preparations and the exam.
I want to encourage all Christians to go out with the gospel. Initially, I was very shy, but I experience that God is with me and that he gives courage when I ask for it. You gain experience along the way and learn not to take it personally if someone does not want to listen. I find evangelism very rewarding.
My husband says I come home radiantly happy when I have been out witnessing about Jesus.
