Just saw a tape of Brooklyn Tab Choir.
I saw a little bit of what some of our COTN people see as they witness and serve Jesus in downtown NY City!
In the Brpoklyn Tabernacle we saw it start with a man who dressed like a woman and prostituted himself on the streets. He had the long blond hair and made big money each night, as a blonde living in the poor section of the city. He was Hispanic and was changed by Jesus and now is married, has a family and is witnessing to people who are like what he used to be.
Then it was a family who adopted a baby who was addicted to crack cocaine because of her mother being a user. She cried a lot, had convulsions, was hyper. But the family brought her before the Lord and dedicated her and asked all the people to pray for her healing. She was healed. Then the mom noticed that she always was thirsty, drinking abnormal amounts of water. So she tookt the baby to the doctor and discovered she had hepitatis C. Since, she has been also healed of that and now has grown into a very normal child. From this scene, we went to
A Jewish gentleman, whose parents had survived the Holocast and Hitler who used the Cross as an excuse to persecute them. His parents had told this man about the Crusaders who had killed so many Jews, yet wore the Cross on their breastplates. His parents had taught this fellow that the Cross was a symbol of death, and had so ingrained this on him, that he was afraid to pass by a church in NYC on his way home from school because it had a Cross on the steeple. He was actually afraid to look at the Cross. God sent someone to talk to this man, and He became a Christian!
I wonder how many people have any idea of all the cultures that are found within a single city like NYC! I wonder how many would know how to cope and deal with all the different situations tht would present themselves in a large church in the inner city background.
The Jewish man faced being ostracized because of the step he took in finding the Lord.
If ayone goes to that city, as well as many others I suppose in this USA, and faces the many cultures, they must believe like the song that Damarius Carbaugh sang in closing "I Am Not Ashamed of The Gospel!" That MUST be the MOTIVATION that would help them overcome EVERY obstacle that they meet up with!
