Power to Witness

Acts 1:8

When I recommitted my life to the Lord as an 18-year-old, I almost immediately had two desires: to study the Bible and to share my faith. Growing up in Caronport, Saskatchewan where most of the people in the town were Christians connected to the local Bible College (Briercrest), I had to travel 15 miles to the city of sin (Moose Jaw) to find some people who didn’t yet have a relationship with Jesus. I was terribly afraid, but I felt God’s power as I hit the streets of Moose Jaw. That summer, I was a camp counselor at Ranger Lake and Luseland Bible Camps. Once again, I experienced God’s power as He helped me to share the Gospel with the kids in my cabin.

Over the years, I have gone through seasons where I am not as active in sharing my faith. Yet, whenever I read Acts 1:8, I am reminded that the Holy Spirit will give us the strength to share Christ with others. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
