Instant Inspirations: January 2011

While in Peru our Mission Field Coordinators, Ray and Nancy Wiggs had the opportunity to share Christ with students at a university in Tarapoto. They worked with the local Every Nation church in Peru to teach locals how to share their Two Minute Miracle (Ten Days’ version of a personal testimony) and how to share the gospel through One Verse Evangelism (developed by the Navigators).

One day while on campus, they were teaching students and having them practice. As they split into five person teams one of the students, Marco, said he didn’t know what the One Verse Evangelism was so, thinking that he was already a part of the church team that was working with them, they directed him to one of the Spanish-speaking pastors to learn it. Unbeknownst to both the Wiggs and the pastor, Marco accepted Christ during that conversation.

Marco later took Ray and Nancy to the Director of Languages on the university campus. After discussing how they wanted to share God with the students through English classes, the Wiggs were given a schedule and a classroom.

The first week of their new class, Ray and Nancy had students practicing their Two Minute Miracles with other students. It was then that they heard Marco give his testimony. Marco told how he joined the team just to learn some English but that after hearing the gospel explained,  he accepted Christ and was now sharing the gospel daily.

Because they were willing to go and serve, Marco was able to hear the gospel for the first time. In turn, Marco helped make it possible for hundreds of students to hear the gospel on campus. All it took was a willing heart.
