MIRACLES

Although Miracles could be done in the context of the church community, they are more likely needed and can bare fruit either in tough missionary contexts or in the presence of unbelievers as a powerful demonstration of the reality of God that could lead them to faith in Jesus. Look out for opportunities such as these and actively place yourself in places and situations where God's miraculous power would be needed.
