It’s a great joy for me to know the Lord and I cannot keep what He has done for me to myself. I want to share God’s love, and what He has done in my life, with everyone!

When we evangelise on the streets I see how it brings unity amongst us. I have the opportunity to get to know and to work with many different brothers and sisters of the church who I would never have known otherwise. I want to encourage everyone to go for it and serve the Lord because the joy that follows is extraordinary!
Fabrice Going out onto the street and speaking to people about the Lord is a challenge for me because I’m not the sort of person who likes to talk. I like to stay in my little corner, be independent, and do what I like, when I want. But the Lord is showing me that other people also need to hear this Gospel and that I am an instrument in His hands. I need to speak, and become smaller in my own eyes, in order to do these things that I would have never done before. This brings me to humble myself and see myself lower than others. I encourage all the brothers and sisters of CTMI to join and together we will accomplish this mission!
Yvans Through street evangelism, I’ve realised how important it is to carry a heart for the lost.
When I see all people in difficulties and with many needs, I know that God has compassion for them and He has a special plan for them. Going out onto the street is challenging, but when I see the lives of men and women changed it gives me a desire to continue. I encourage everyone to make a stand, and to spread the gospel wherever you are. I thank the Lord for the vision he gave Pastor Miki Hardy to transmit to us. Guillaume Today, street evangelism is a fundamental part of the life and spirit of the church, and being part of this move of the Lord has really influenced my life.
I’ve been involved on with street evangelism and this has helped me to understand God's calling and purpose for all Christians. I’m so encouraged to see how, through this time, God has been dealing with me and setting me free from things that in the past have hindered me from serving Him. I’m usually very shy, but by being out on the street, sharing with people and experiencing God working through me, it has given more confidence to witness to others and to share the Good News and what Jesus has done for me. More than anything, it has made me realize that I need to depend on the Lord for everything and I can’t put confidence in myself. God has a great plan to spread the Gospel to all nations, and I believe that street evangelism has a great role to play in this. Didier I have recently come back to the Lord and evangelism has enabled me to serve the Lord. It is not just being well in my heart but also being active, working in a team, and serving the Lord on the field. This is the vision of the church; to go out and evangelise, and I was able to find my place in this. Especially in the aspect of praise and worship and music at church , just to be able to praise the Lord, and to serve Him together with the youth. It’s not just me but it’s an entire team and I’m happy to be a part of this team. I want to tell all young people out there to come and serve the Lord, because there is a joy that is found in serving the Lord!
Caleb How ‘Youth Alive' began
About two years back, Olivier, a young man who’d had a very real encounter with the Lord after being lost in the world, desired to see young people rise up and serve Jesus. After seeking the Lord for guidance, he formed some ideas and suggestions. The emphasis was to be on evangelism and the instruction and growth of young people to become servants of God not just for a little team but for the all the youth of the church. Olivier, together with a few of the youth in his local area, started to meet together. They prayed, they spent time in the Word, and had fellowship. Although they were still a small team they started to see that there was a bigger vision, and that more youth would join them to serve the Lord. The group started to experience a change in their relationships as they worked together and participated in a number of evangelism campaigns together. They became more united, there was a new boldness to share and the Lord removed their shyness; there was a fire that had ignited in their hearts to serve Jesus! They realised how evangelism teaches young people to bring souls to the Lord, to be sensitive to the needs of others, to sing and perform skits, and to share their testimonies to the public, and sometimes to even preach! Derek It all started at Cite Atlee on May 1 2010. I went to see an elder in the church shared with him that we (the youth) had it on our hearts to hold and evangelism at the Cite Atlee village Hall and to go and evangelise out on the streets. Clarence gave us his blessing and soon afterwards we held the evangelism, where four people gave their hearts to the Lord. As well as the joy we had to witness souls being saved, there began to be more of a thirst in the hearts of the youth and a desire to serve the Lord. From that moment I started to see how evangelism was the ideal platform for a young person to serve the Lord and it was clear that now is the time for young people to rise up and serve the Lord in a greater dimension.Participating in evangelism has brought a consistency to my life and today I’m entirely given to the Lord and I want to serve Jesus with all my heart!
