Takin' Him to the Streets

Your concept of Treasure Hunts will never be the same!  Zion College students together with members of All Nations Church Healing and Revival Center gather on the second Friday of each month to experience the reality of the Great Commission by participating in Treasure Hunts.  This radical and effective form of evangelism allows participants to hear from the Lord and minister salvation, healing, encouragement, and in some cases deliverance to the people they meet in various public venues.  Malls, gas stations, restaurants, any place is a potential target. 

Just read some of the astounding testimonies from Treasure Hunters...

• Our team had the clues 'Kohls' & 'bandage on elbow'. At the end of the evening we came across a Hindu mother and daughter shopping together. The daughter (her name was Pinkie & approx. 20yrs) has holding her arm, gently at a 90 degree angle close to her body with a cloth brace on her elbow. She explained her parents came over from India to support her while having surgery on her arm. As we explained the treasure hunt we became empowered with boldness and proclaimed that Jesus, the true Savior, wanted to heal her right in the store if she allowed us to pray. With her Hindu mother looking on, she agreed. We laid hands on her arm and prayed. After praying we immediately asked her to check her arm for healing. She said it was feeling better but not yet 100%. So, we asked her if we could pray again for the full healing and she agreed. She tested it again and she began extending her arm fully even while her stitches were in place with significant improvement. We were proud to represent the true God for a testimony to be taken home to India!

• Someone in our group had the clue 'palm tree'.  While walking through the mall, our team passed a man with a palm tree patterned shirt sitting under a palm tree with his wife.  When we approached him he asked for prayer for his wife who just had shoulder surgery.  We were excited because 'shoulder' was on our list too. The couple are Christians who were visiting the area for an auto show and we shared testimonies of recent shoulder healings to build faith for healing.  We prayed and she showed immediate signs of healing, while reaching out with her healed shoulder she shook our hands and said,  "I haven't been able to do that since my surgery!"

• Several members of our team had the clue 'Target' and one person had 'Blue Shorts' so we made contact with a younger male & female in the store. After initial contact, they shared they needed pray for a 'broken relationship' (another clue) and that a friend of theirs was suicidal and they didn't know what to do. As we were speaking to them their cell phone rang and it happened to be their friend who wanted to commit suicide on the other end of  the phone. We asked to speak to him on the phone but she thought he wouldn't speak to us. However we urged her it was divine appointment and we wanted to pray with her friend over the phone. At that point, everyone on the team began praying right in Target. The gentleman on the other end of the phone agreed to speak to us. While everyone was praying I was able to transfer the love of God, through a conversation on the cell phone,  to him and all seven of us said a prayer in unison and committed our lives to Jesus as our Savior! After the conversation, one of our team members picked up a box of animal crackers, right next to us, which had an 'elephant' (another clue) on it. What an amazing turn of events leading someone away from suicide and to the Lord!

• One of our team members had six clues that were all relevant to an employee on her lunch break outside of Target. The clues were, yellow bag, bracelets, red shirt, single mother, Starbucks drink, & broken heart. Our team expressed to her she was highlighted as a treasure by God and he wanted to restore her situation and express His love towards her. After praying for her she expressed how moved she was by the experience. Later in the evening, we saw her again and she was overcome with joy and called her mom to share what the Lord did for her that evening. The Lord knew every hair on her head!

Come out and be a part of helping us take the love of Christ to the streets!
