Jesus saves!! 08/02/2010
Last month w/ the help of East Hill Christian school, we held a 1 day VBS in Santa Rosa, our little neighboring town. During the VBS we had the kids write down their information (name, age, direction to their house, etc.) Well after some follow-up, Brooke and I have started 2 discipleship groups as a result of this process. Brooke has started w/ 3 girls and I have started w/ 2 boys. 3 of the 5 kids has since accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior as manypeople there have never heard the saving grace that is ONLY found in our King Jesus! We are sooo excited although the enemy of this world is already fighting against us. Just today, 2 of the 3 girls didn't make it to the group.... We are optomistic as we know our Lord and His legion of angels are fighting along w/ us in this 'battle' as He says in His Word, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has annointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." Isaiah 61:1 (NKJV). Amen! Please pray for Wilmer, Kevin, Clency, María José and Urania. Please pray for their families as we found out that the parents of Clency do not believe in anything, they aren't even Catholic!! Hard to believe but true, considering that a overwhelming majority of people who live here say that they are 'Catholic', although most are not practicing Catholic. Also pray for my next 'opportunity' to talk w/ a couple of Jehovah witnesses who came by the other day. One of the two men spoke only English and he was looking for opportunities to 'talk' w/ folks. Well, they passed by here and I was home. We talked for a while w/ them steering the conversation to fit their 'beliefs'. I have to admit, I was a little rattled after their visit, almost a little irritated that they would use "nearly" the same version of the Bible I use (2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17) but twist words around or even have added words to fit what they believe... They asked me if they could come back this week to which I said "yes" and I will be prepared. I have done some research on their beliefs and how they 'twist' around (or have added to) the scrpitures. Lord willing, thru His strength and not my own, I am going to ask to pray for them and share what is so dear to my heart, that JESUS SAVES!!!! and it is NOT by our own actions or deeds. I pray for wisdom and boldness this coming week and for the Lord to use me in mighty ways for HIS glory and HIS alone, b/c as it stands right now, these two men are bound for hell believing in something that is 100% false, that works will save them. Please Father, touch these men who are 'blind' to You, who are 'dead' to You. I pray for a miracle this week. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. | About meI'm a sinner saved by grace through faith in my Lord Jesus Christ. Eph. 2:8-9 ArchivesAugust 2010 Categories |
