Sixteen young people from across the North New South Wales Conference (NNSW) participated in the Literature Ministries program Youth Rush from July 7 to 12 in the Warners Bay surrounding community. The young evangelists went from door to door, offering Christian literature, prayers and Bible studies.
During the two-week program, the team distributed more than 914 books on a donation basis, raising more than $A7000 for mission work, university fees, and personal mission projects. They also handed out 500 flyers to advertise the local Adventist church and made seven contacts for the local Bible worker to follow up.
“The team did an amazing work”, said NNSW young adults director Blair Lemke. “In five days, they knocked on four months’ worth of doors that one person could have knocked on,” he added.
According to Mr Lemke, the experience positively impacted the participants. “Each of them came out of the experience having witnessed miracles and being involved in divine appointments. We heard reports from several of the attendants saying ‘this was the best two weeks of my year’ and ‘I feel closer to God and have made lots of new friends,’” said Mr Lemke.
