Testimonies from the School of Prophetic Evangelism with Patricia Bootsma and team

(May 3rd-5^th, 2007; Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Introduction
We want to share a few of the things that happened during School of Prophetic Evangelism which was held in Amsterdam on May 3^rd-5^th, 2007 in order to give God glory for what He’s done. The School was organized by God’s Embassy Amsterdam and RED (a new interchurch youth movement launched by Sander Vos, one of the leaders of God’s Embassy). Patricia Bootsma from Canada was the speaker.

Testimonies
20 people gave their lives to Christ during the 2 afternoons and the one evening of outreach we held in the city! Among these were 4 prostitutes. The teams who visited the women reported the women were very open for contact and for the gospel. One woman even needed to be held up by the team members while they prayed for her because the power of God was so strong in the cubicle in which she worked.

The music teams that went out to sing prophetic songs over the people in the Vondel Park and in the Red Light District reported a strong presence of the Lord on the streets as they sang. In situations where there were language barriers between the team members and those they had contact with, several teams noticed that the presence of God was so strong that people wept and held onto them tightly as prophetic songs were sung even though they couldn’t understand the words. One young prostitute from the Czech Republic just kept repeating the words “so much love” as she wept over the women team members who had just sung for her. One man was so touched by the words of the song that God had given the team for him that he asked Christ into his heart right there on a bridge in the Red Light District. During this conference we learned a new term; “Presence Evangelism.” Time and time again we saw that the tangible presence of God made people open to hearing about the love that God has for them even more than the words that were spoken out over them.
3 people were also healed from various physical ailments on the streets.
