Category: Way Ambassador

It was a night of family outreach for our Way Ambassador team at our local city recreation center. The recreation center, or rec center, has many amenities including a full gym, activity room, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, rock wall, basketball court, running track, and more. We didn’t have anything specific planned that night other than to get in a decent workout and believe for open doors to chat with people.

I really wanted to do deadlifts for my weight lifting, but all the bars and machines were taken, so I settled for dumbbells (which I wouldn’t normally do). I got about six sets in and felt like that was enough, so I rejoined my team for some boxing practice. I took my wristband and watch off because I didn’t want to wear them while punching. After we were done boxing, it was time to wrap up and head out.

As we finished up, a gentleman walked into the room we were in and started stretching. I grabbed my wristband to put it back on, but I dropped it, and it started rolling toward him. He joked, “Watch out, it’s trying to get away from you!” I laughed and remarked, “Yep, it just keeps on going, like I do with this,” pointing to the words on the wristband that said “Pray without Ceasing.” He asked what that was from, and I told him it was one of my favorite verses from the Bible, I Thessalonians 5:17. We got to talking about the Word, and he later told me that he had prayed to find a man of God that could teach him how to have a better relationship with God. We chatted for a while about a variety of things, but the conversation always ended up coming back to the Word.

I was able to share sections of scripture that had blessed me to learn about recently, and tell him that we have a class that teaches how to study and understand the Word for yourself. I showed him the Foundational Class trailer on YouTube, and he said, “When can I start?”

I also asked him if he was familiar with speaking in tongues because that’s how someone can prove outwardly that they are born again. He said he’d heard of it but wasn’t sure it was something he could do. I explained more about speaking in tongues, in that it is a language of men or of angels, unknown to the speaker, and that it actually sounds like a language. It’s not just a bunch of noises, but a fluid language. He was amazed.

We ended up sharing the Word with each other for about two hours, right up until the rec center’s paging system dinged and said they were closing for the night! Both he and his girlfriend started coming to fellowship ever since, and he took the Power for Abundant Living Today Class.

More Ease and Confidence to Start a Conversation

During the program, I noticed a great spiritual evolution. Thanks to the help of my ambassador buddy, I was able to grow tremendously. The principle of walking in pairs, or witnessing two by two, allowed me to grow spiritually. Every day, I learned to speak abundantly in tongues and pray perfectly not only for myself, but also for others. Those moments were great in sharing the Word together. Understanding the Word and clarifying some of the verses I misunderstood was a real victory.

During my time as a Way Ambassador, my ability to witness the Word matured. I used to find it difficult to start a conversation with someone I didn’t know, but now I can do it with more ease and confidence. I thank God for this wonderful transformation.

No Longer Afraid to Witness

At the beginning of the Way Ambassador program, it was difficult for me to share God’s Word. I faced big blocks in my confidence and underestimated myself. I felt unable to fulfill my mission, wondered if I could do it, if I could share the Word, and if I could speak much more in tongues. In fact, I doubted myself. With the efforts and guidance of the coordinators, today everything is different. Every day that passes, God works wonders in me. At school and everywhere I go, I am no longer ashamed or afraid to witness the Word of God to others. I really thank God for that.

Now I Am Able to Witness Wherever I Go

I wasn’t in the habit of approaching people I didn’t know well to share God’s Word with them. Today, through The Way’s ambassador program, I am able to do this and perceive God’s grace in my personal life. Now I am able to witness the Word to people in my workplace, in my family, and wherever the opportunity is favorable for me to do so. I am becoming more and more mature in my walk with God as I keep Him first.

The Ambassadors of the Way Outreach Program brought many personal benefits to me from the point of view of individual growth. I was disciplined in many aspects, such as daily reading in the Word, applying love in practice in service for the benefit of others, and keeping my fellowship with my heavenly Father.

During one phase of my life I had challenges in my marital life to the point of almost getting divorced, but I saw God work greatly when my wife and I decided to give ourselves wholly in this program. Our marital and family life improved in an extraordinary way, and we were able to live God’s love at home more than ever before.

We also saw the magnificent power of God in the lives of others through healings and miracles. During our commitment, we worked with a man who lost the mobility of his body due to an illness of five years. However, we gave the Word and applied some principles of believing, and this man was healed. We established a home fellowship with that family. We also saw deliverance in a young woman who had fatigue in her body so much so that she could not even stand up. Another time we made a four-hour trip away to lovingly serve all the newly won believers by my wife who worked there, and many of them were able to speak in tongues.

When we walk in the Word and in the renewed mind, we can experience the power of God in our lives and benefit others as the first-century Church did, for God is faithful and He does not change. He is the same as yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Malachi 3:6:
For I am the Lord, I change not….

I Corinthians 1:9:
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

We Were United

In the residential area where my nine-year-old son and I lived, we met a married couple with a five-year-old girl. The couple had marital problems because of differences in how they guided their daughter, and the girl constantly displayed disobedient behavior.

We invited them to spend time with us so that the children could share a time of play and snacks. They accepted. Every day we would get together for the children to share some time, and I would continue to talk with them about the Word of God and pray with them. They noticed my son’s behavior and manners. I told them about the responsibilities that my son had within our Way Ambassador family, such as maintaining order in the areas where he plays and studies within the house.

The girl’s parents began to visit us at our Way Ambassador home and noticed my son’s good behavior, and they also noticed that as a family of Way Ambassadors, we were united. So they began to practice being united among themselves, and it soon began to be a noticeable difference between them as a family.

This couple invited us to dinner and thanked us and acknowledged the love of God with which we loved them. We kept in daily contact ever since, and they were interested in taking the Foundational Class.

I Listened Carefully and Believed God for Answers

One of the aspects of my life where I grew during this Way Ambassador program was to consciously manifest God’s love in order to hear my brothers and sisters express a need and to believe God for giving answers to their hearts.

On one occasion, a couple from my home community wanted to talk to my husband and me because they had situations that they didn’t know how to handle that were causing them a lot of discomfort to the point of thinking about getting divorced.

I listened carefully and I could see that the situations were based on past experiences and what they saw in other marriages in the world to solve their problems, but they didn’t go to the source, they didn’t go to the Word of God.

I led them to see that the love of God that Jesus Christ manifested is the solution to everything in life. I showed them the importance of taking time to talk openly with each other in the framework of love.

This couple thanked us for that time of sharing that was very liberating for them.

The next day they came very happy sharing what they had started to do. Some actions they took were praying together to God very early in the day, studying the Word, giving to each other, and being aware of each other. They were very happy to put their marital relationship in order. I was able to recognize what I had to give and help my brothers and sisters to walk free and return to the truth of God’s Word.

Please enjoy this personal account from a teenager who served as a Junior Way Ambassador with her parents in the Ambassadors of the Way Outreach Program.

As a Junior Way Ambassador, I learned to show and give more of the love of God to people and not be so fast to jump to conclusions. Acting with the love of God is important.

When I moved to our Way Ambassador state for the first time and started going to school, it was a shock for me. I moved from a small rural school to a big urban school. In this new setting, I did not expect to see the kind of need in people’s lives that I witnessed. It was a little scary and overwhelming. Honestly, at first, I was thinking, “I need to get away from these people! They are crazy!” Thankfully, I didn’t do that. Instead, I remembered what my parents taught me about loving and helping people. I knew that God was with me, and I started to get to know people even though their situations were things that I had never seen or dealt with.

As I learned and got used to more people, I made one friend who then led me to meet with her other friends. As we were walking to gym class, they started sharing real needs with me, going into more depth about some issues they were facing, such as drugs, trauma, and issues within their families. At first, it startled me to hear the things they had suffered through and were currently dealing with. In that moment, I had to learn and grow in my thoughts and not run away in fear because these people needed some of God’s Word in their lives, and I was there to give it to them!

One of my favorite verses that stuck with me during this hard time was I Corinthians 10:13.

I Corinthians 10:13:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer [allow] you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

This is a verse I got to share with a couple of my new friends and even remind myself of. I know this verse, and God’s Word in general, helped so many people to stay peaceful when challenging things came up in their lives.

Not only was I able to share the Word with my friends and pray with them regularly, but they also came to fellowship and even brought their siblings to learn about God’s love and grace. One even took our ministry’s Foundational and Intermediate Classes. It is exciting to hear her speak in tongues, knowing that she is born again.

Now that I have realized people need the love of God, I am thankful to God that I have had opportunities to teach people about how big their God is and how much He loves them. I am so grateful that my parents took me with them to go Way Ambassador because, honestly, I loved getting to see the joy in people’s lives when they heard about God and His AMAZING Word!

The Power of Prayer Works

As ambassadors for Christ we have many opportunities to bring godly solutions to people’s lives. James 5:16 in part says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

We met a young man while shopping, and he decided to start attending our fellowships. After some time, we met him outside of our fellowship time for coffee. He shared with us some challenges in his life, one of which was a concussion he was dealing with. We shared with him III John 2, and that it was God’s will for him to prosper and be in health. We then prayed for him, and after some more edifying time spent together, we went our separate ways. A couple of hours later he texted me that much of the discomfort associated with his injury had subsided. God is so good and is always willing and able to bring deliverance as we get Him involved in situations and claim the promises in His Word through prayer. 

God’s Blessings Come as We Remain Faithful

Proverbs 28:20 reads, “A faithful man shall abound with blessings….” As a Way Ambassador, I have seen this truth bigger. One of the main requirements of our program is to be faithful—faithful to read the Word, pray, speak the truth, and, of course, walk in love—and as we do this, God brings the results.

One night early in the program, we were witnessing downtown and looking to bless people. We went into the local ice rink and we went up to the man at the front desk. We told him about what we do and asked if he would be interested. He looked at us and smiled and said, “No.” This was a temptation to be discouraged, but instead we decided to shake the dust off and keep pressing on! We went into the hockey shop where the store owner was playing his guitar. We started a conversation and when we mentioned our ministry, he set down his guitar and said, “Biblical research and fellowship ministry. Tell me more about that boys!” It turned out, we were just the people this man needed to talk to that night. He shared how our being there confirmed many things for him, and he was very much blessed by our time with him. This was a huge example of what will happen as we continue to trust God and be faithful to hold forth the truth in love.

Following a successful tenure, here’s what these Way Ambassadors had to say:

“Since going Way Ambassador, I noticed personal growth in my goal to manifest patience and peace with myself and others. This allowed me to manifest God’s love to a greater extent.”

“Speaking the truth in love with great boldness was one of my spiritual goals for many years. The Way Ambassador outreach program provided all the necessary elements to accomplish that goal. Now with great joy, I can say I am bold and courageous to speak God’s matchless Word.”

“As a fellow worker with God, He showed me how to more effectively operate my ministry of reconciliation. It is always a joy to bring others back to the Father. I am thankful to be an ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ.”

“I grew the most as a Way Ambassador in my ability to trust in and rely on God each day. It was a challenge at times because we are in the spiritual competition, but I saw God come through each day.”

“At the beginning of the program, my fears were to open my mouth to speak God’s Word and I wasn’t sure if my daily needs would be met. By faithfully applying the lifestyle of Way Ambassador, I was strengthened in my inner man and I boldly spoke the Word of God everywhere in my area. Also, all my needs were met, and I lacked nothing during those months.”

“In this program, we learned to meet needs in people’s hearts.”

“The Way Ambassador program helped me be free!”

“The Way Ambassador program showed me greater avenues of life in outreach, study time, and all that it takes to go two by two. I was blessed tremendously in a short amount of time. This program was designed for God and the individual. I saw great things by God working mightily within not only me, but also my family and my team. I’m thankful for the Way Ambassador program because we held forth the light of God’s love to those that were in darkness. If you want to grow, you gotta go!”

Proverbs 13:19: The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul….

My Way Ambassador teammate and I decided to go to a store in an area that we hadn’t been to before. Before we went in, we prayed that we would find someone that day who truly wanted the Word. We walked around the store for a while and spoke to a few people, but nothing really panned out, so we got ready to leave. As we were leaving, we decided to go through the self-checkout lane which we don’t normally do. We both were wearing our Triumph in Christ hoodies from the Bookstore and the attendant working the self-checkout noticed them. He asked us what church we were a part of, and I started to explain the Way Ambassador program to him. He then proceeded to say, “That’s how I got into the Word in the 1980s! There was this group of people who moved to my city for a year to run home Bible fellowships, and they witnessed to me.” I asked him the name of the ministry and he said, “The Way International!” We were all shocked! He had been witnessed to by WOW Ambassadors and had been a part of the ministry for many years.

My teammate and I were able to have a great conversation with this man and tell him all about the movement in our ministry today. He was excited to hear about all we’re doing, and he especially loved hearing about the Young Adult Rock, because he had attended the Rock of Ages! He was so blessed to have found people who knew the accuracy of the Word again, and we shared with him that there are no coincidences with God! It was amazing that God had us in the right place at the right time to bless this man. We were so excited! That incident built our believing high and we went on to have even more successful outreach that day. Every time we visited him, he was happy to see us and to be able to speak the rightly divided Word with believers.

To me, this incident encapsulated the second pillar of the program, reaching out to others. My teammate and I were like-minded on what we wanted to accomplish that day, and with our united believing, God was able to go to work! This interaction helped set the tone for outreach for our team because everyone was excited by it. It also helped me to see the importance of not limiting my believing. I never imagined I’d run into someone who used to be in the ministry during my time as a Way Ambassador, but again, God had us in the right place at the right time.

One of the points under reaching out to others is “Way Ambassadors lovingly express God’s goodness and love.” I learned that outreach isn’t just getting people to attend fellowship or through the class, but also leaving people better than we found them. A seemingly small act of kindness on our part makes a big spiritual impact. Someone shared with me that we are reclaiming spiritual ground that the adversary thought he had won, and that really resonated with me. In our time spent as Way Ambassadors, I saw the culture of our city change little by little as we continued to pour on the love with everyone we met. We had the amazing opportunity to meet the needs of so many different people and I’m thankful for the guidance God gave us as we boldly spoke His Word!

One Saturday we went out to witness two by two. Door after door, family after family, of all those approached, no one had been available to receive us or even listen to us. We refused to let discouragement prevail. We truly believed since we had gone out that morning, it was because humble hearts must be waiting for us somewhere.

It was then that passing in front of a house, we saw a gentleman sitting on the veranda. As we approached with God’s love, he was eager to receive us and give us a seat, and he was ready to listen to us. After about twenty minutes of sharing with him about God’s goodness and grace, he was very amazed by God’s Word on display.

He told us that he had been waiting for this moment for nearly seven years. That for nearly seven years he thought that his sins were so numerous and so serious that he could not even venture to say the name of God. He had many times thought of going to confess to the priest, or even go to an exorcist priest, but in his mind the gravity of his sins prevented him from doing so. He had fled his village because of the sorcerers, leaving his wife and children, and could not return. He was convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that God could not forgive him and his many grave sins.

After this, we further showed him from God’s Word about His grace and about being born again. On the spot, he confessed Romans 10:9 and 10. Big tears streamed down his face. He told us that while he was confessing Romans 10:9 and 10, he felt as if a great burden had fallen from his head. He said he was ready to follow us wherever we went. We continued to share the Word with him that evening.

To this day, he has become very faithful to fellowship in the home. He has already gone back to visit his village several times, and is preparing to bring his whole family back with him. What wonderful grace from God!

Sharing the Word of God from house to house, my Way Ambassador partner and I were received by a man, a car mechanic by trade, who had just undergone surgery on both kidneys. We thus began a process of sharing the principles of believing and prayer with him, following his state of health day after day. Returning one day from a medical consultation, this man shared with us his concern on the recovery of these two wounds, one of which healed well, but the other on the right side was problematic and caused him a lot of pain and worry. We reassured him that God is the Healer, and said a word of prayer in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ.

Two days later, returning to visit him, we found in the house only his wife who, until then, was indifferent to us, but who that day begged us to wait for the return of her husband. Which we accepted. And some two minutes later, we saw the gentleman disembark from a motorcycle. I told the other Way Ambassador who was with me that something powerful had happened in the gentleman’s body because a two-kidney patient who was recovering from a surgery like his could not ride on a motorcycle.

Indeed, he himself confirmed that at his last medical examination, his doctor had just informed him that his two wounds were totally healed, that there was no longer any concern, and that he could resume his work as a mechanic as he saw fit. We praised God!

This miraculous healing of the man led his wife to open her heart to us by asking us to pray for her, because their only child was already almost ten years old and since then, she has not been able to conceive. She accepted our invitation to join her husband in our home fellowship meetings, and we also began to pray for her deliverance. God answered our prayers because the man and the woman are now graduates of the Foundational Class, and some time later, the woman gave birth to a beautiful baby.
