Megacities Continues to Transform and Multiply

The city of London, England is being transformed one story at a time through the efforts of Megacities' teams from all over the world.

Megacities, the international, cities-focused ministry, reports on their recent efforts in 2012's intended city. With teams all over the boroughs (neighbourhoods) of London, they're excited to share the amazing things happening through the power of Christ:

In the London borough of Bromley, seven young people accepted Jesus after they witnessed God’s healing power. A Megacities team was at a skate park when they prayed for a skater who was having problems with his back. After praying in the name of Jesus, he was instantly healed. The skater told his friends what had happened, and the group was eager to know more about this God who mends injuries with one prayer. Several more in the group were healed.

The ripple effect continued with one of the members of the team who witnessed the healings was a young man from a local, church youth group. The boy from the youth group soon came back to the team some days later with a testimony of his own: At the boys' school one day, his friend fell in the playground. His friend was injured. Without any prompting from a supportive team, he made the decision to pray for healing for his friend. The boy naturally applied what had been modelled by the team days before. He prayed, and his friend was healed!

Transformation is about being transferable; change ought to be able to be reproduced and spread. We ache to see events like this to ripple through communities, the words spreading through those who experienced the power of God.

With around 50 teams so far this year working through Megacities in London, how many ways has God multiplied ministry like what happened in the skate park in Bromley? As the people of God, both local and international, step out in boldness on the streets of London, faith is beginning to build again. All over the city teams are working to be a catalyst for that change, but it is local Christians seeing, experiencing and doing that will bring about transformation. For Megacities, our joy is igniting the faith and boldness of people all over London, England.
