A testimony from a student
A student leader in Buenos Aires wrote, "Last night was
tremendous! There were 1000 students gathered in the Plaza in
front of the Business School. Many others were listening from
from their apartment balconies. There were 100 university
students that responded, accepting Jesus and leaving us their
personal information for us to do follow up. It was incredible
to see how the heavens opened above the Plaza. The video that
Diego made had everyone watching. The student leadership at the
university were amazed to the extent that they asked if we could
come back next year! Some guys began to yell that the Plaza
belonged to the devil but later they asked to be forgiven and
recognized the power of Jesus. One of our students, that is a
part of my cell group, witnessed to two homosexual prostitutes.
They were in church on Sunday and attended our church's
Encounter Weekend! At the end, Mariana made one last call to
accept Jesus and 4 more guys gave their lives to Jesus." |
