Life Is A Mission Field: Reflections on the NYC Worship Project

I have so many memories from the Florida Worship Choir and Orchestra NYC Worship Project...  God did some incredible things through our ministry in New York.  Lives were changed, both our own lives as well as the lives we touched during our time there. This is just one of many stories I hope to have the privilege of sharing with you. May it encourage you to step out in faith as you realize that life is a mission field in itself.

One lady stopped me in Times Square after the flash mob to ask if I was a Christian.  I immediately told her I loved Jesus Christ with all of my heart.  She asked me to sing for her.  While I love to sing, I don't typically randomly break out in song in public places!  :-)  This time, I did.  I sang the chorus from a song I wrote years ago titled, "There's Sunshine Awaiting You."  After I finish singing, she got very serious and thanked me, saying she needed to hear that.  We talked for about 30 minutes.  We exchanged contact info and I invited her to the concert at Carnegie Hall the next night.  She called me after the concert to let me know she came and she was blessed by our ministry.

Sometimes, our ministry is at church.  Other times, our ministry is right in front of us, if we only take time to look.  It may be at a ball game, a restaurant, on a subway, at work, or even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Times Square.  She was one of 100,000 people within earshot that night.  If I had rushed off to dinner, I wouldn't have met her.  God knew where I needed to be.  He knew that I had another ministry opportunity, if only I would wait for the exact moment to walk by her table.  I truly believe the Lord guides our steps.  Follow His direction.  Don't miss out on an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with someone.  As one Filipino brother in Christ told me at Christian Bible Church, "It's what we're born to do."

In Christ's Love,
Jennifer

Greetings!  My name is Jennifer Campbell.  You may know me personally or this may be the first time we have become acquainted.  I am a Christian.  More than that, I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  I have a heart for ministering to others. Life has not always been easy, from losing loved ones to going through personal health struggles.  But through every disappointment and every battle, God has always proven faithful to me, time and time again.  I pray that He will use my testimony to lead others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Through Him, we have peace that passes understanding, joy unspeakable, and life everlasting.  I pray every day that God will use me as a willing vessel for His glory.

Recently, God opened a door for me to become a member of the Florida Worship Choir and Orchestra, a group of 600 individuals who minister for one common goal: proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ.  When I first heard of this opportunity, I immediately began to seek God's will.  While the Choir sounded amazing, I wanted to ensure that this was a door that God wanted me to walk through.  After seeking Him, I know that this is something I must do.

The Choir will be taking a missions trip to New York City this spring.  The NY Worship Project is a mission experience designed to make God known in a big way.  Missional oportunities will include street witnessing, bottled water stations, as well as handing out free tickets to the worship concert at Carnegie Hall where the Gospel will be sung and proclaimed.  We will also be working with local churches in the area, providing support, training, and resources based on their needs.  We will be participating in two flash-mob style events in Times Square, a concert in Central Park, and sharing a few songs at Brooklyn Tabernacle as well, in addition to the concert at Carnegie Hall.  I invite you to visit www.floridaworship.org for more information concerning our ministry in New York.

In order to join the Choir on this mission trip, I need your assistance.  The cost of the trip exceeds $2395, which includes airfare, ground transportation, accomodations, venue costs, and other related costs.  I realize that money is tight for many people, as it is for myself, but I ask that you seek the Lord's will.  This would be my first multi-day missions trip, something I have always had a desire in my heart to do.

UPDATE: Did you ever have one of those moments when you were completely and utterly amazed? I had one of those this afternoon. One day, I had raised approximately $100. Three days later, I exceeded my goal of $2395. That's the way God works. He takes what seems like a hopeless situation and pours out hope in abundance.

I am humbled by the way God has brought about an outpouring of love from friends and family. Thank you all. I pray that God pours out His blessings to you and your families! It is my prayer that God will use me in a mighty way through this mission trip. YOU made this possible.

I have a heart for ministering to others and I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with the City of New York. All of the glory, praise, and honor goes to Jesus Christ! He alone is worthy of our praise!!!
