Holy Ghost Moment

bonjour friends!
Well last night was a great night! Jason and I went to a local university called Florida A & M University (FAMU). Veronica, a young adult at our corps and a student at FAMU invited us to sit on an answering panel with other pastors and church officials for a Religious Question and Answer session for students. Basically students would ask us anything they wanted about Christianity and religion in general and we would try our best to answer their questions and concerns. So we showed up at about 6:15, and it was suppose to start at 6:30. We went inside and met with three other people and waited for the happenings to begin. Well, one other person showed up which made the grand total, 6. All of which were on the answer panel. No students had showed up. So we decided to just introduce ourselves and then have prayer for FAMU and the city of Tallahassee. We gathered around and by the end of our prayer session (which lasted about 45 minutes) there were about 20 people there, all of whom were pastors and church officials who had come to answer questions. We prayed hard and God was very evidently in our midst. After our prayer time, we pulled over a podium and the pastors began to preach the words that God had laid on their hearts. It was amazing, because it was as though they had come there completely prepared to preach sermons on faith and prayer and evangelism. Their words were incredible! Then we pulled over the piano and started to sing songs and praise God together some more. We had testimonies and prayer and it was the most amazing experience. God totally had his way. It was as though we were old friends who had planned to come together and lift eachother up, pray, praise and preach. It was amazing, absolutly amazing. Through it I also made some much needed contacts with the different schools. I met a man who was involved heavily with "The Navigators" at Florida State University, and he is really excited about partnering with the Salvation Army. I also met the co-ordinator for "Jam 4 Jesus" at FAMU and joined her group! AND, Jason and I booked ourselves at three different church's to conduct services centered around evangelism. So it was the most productive night I've had since I've come to Tallahassee and it was all ordained and brought together by God. I've just been trying really hard to maintain a positive attitude of expectancy, thanking God in advance for his glorious blessings and its proving to be the best way to live. When you rely on God to meet your needs you don't have to worry, you don't have to waste time complaining or brainstorming ways out of your own problems, and you really don't have to work very hard to get his work done, cause he puts you in the right place at the right time and meets all of your needs.
Praise God. It was an incredible night!
