Labouring with the Lord

Labouring with the Lord

“For we are labourers together with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

The Lord has blessed the work of Discover Truth in so many ways. It began many years ago with a few dedicated members working on the streets of Dublin. Today it is reaching people across the Emerald Isle as an organised, Irish Mission-wide ministry with members from 14 different churches and an online presence.

Our volunteers have had so many memorable and encouraging experiences. Here is an unforgettable encounter that Dmitry from Cork Church likes to share:

“It was one of our first times out on the streets of the city with the Discover Truth banner and our table filled with books. A pleasant young man approached me and asked, ‘Are you spreading the Truth?’ I replied, ‘I believe that yes, we are spreading the Truth.’

He replied, ‘This is indeed the Truth. And you are doing a great job. People in this city should know the truth, it is very important.’ He also added these telling words: ‘You are working on the front line, you are visible. We are not visible, but we support your work and help you.’

I had the impression that the Lord had sent an angel at the beginning of our ministry in Cork to inspire us. This young man then disappeared into the crowd, and I have never seen him again.

After he had left, I asked my daughter if he was an angel. I still think that he could have been an angel. There was nothing supernatural about our meeting, but the words he said to me were really inspiring and unusual!”

This encounter brings to mind the following quote: “There is means now tied up that should be in use for the unworked cities in Europe, Australia, and America, and in the regions beyond. These cities have been neglected for years. The angels of God are waiting for us to give our labors for their inhabitants. From town to town, from city to city, from country to country, the warning message is to be proclaimed, not with outward display, but in the power of the Spirit, by men of faith.” Evangelism, p428 (1908).

As we bring this Irish Mission month of thanksgiving to a close, we would like to thank everyone who has supported this ministry with their time, donations, and talents. May the Lord bless the Irish Mission members, pastors, churches, and Executive Committee for their assistance in helping to spread the Gospel to the people on the Emerald Isle. Let’s continue working with the Holy Spirit and the angels in reaching the people!
