The Power of the Videos


HOW important are videos in the ministry of Thursday Night Coffee bar?

The videos of Jesus life and that of Abraham and Joseph along with others that share true faith are used often in 3 or 4 rooms during a coffee bar evening.  I would like to share with you a response from just last Thursday night.

After a viewing of Part ll of the life of Abraham in our upper room, a group of Afghan men came to me and asked a question: “Was it not Ishmael that was to be sacrificed by Abraham, why does the video show that it was Isaac”? WE love these questions! How thankful I was that we had an Iranian brother helping us that could open the Farsi bible and show the group just where it says it is the son of the promise, Isaac that Abraham placed on the alter. Questions like this open doors for more conversation. I then opened the Farsi Bible to Rev. 22:18 -19 the last part of the last chapter Rev. and Jesus words were read: ”I warn anyone who hears the words of this prophecy of this book: if anyone adds ….. or takes away from the Words of this book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which is described in this book.” Being their book was written hundreds of years later, they fully understood the meaning, i.e, it was Isaac who was the son of the Promise. One of the men asked if he could come and chat again, he seemed to be a teacher he spoke many languages. We have an appointment this coming Thursday. As you read this would you please pray that the distractions of the evil one would not hinder him in coming 4:00 this Thursday before our next coffee bar.
