What a great night seeing the Lord move. I really do not know where to begin so I apologize ahead of time for my run on sentences!
On the right you will see our first new friend of the day Matthew. Sorry about the blurry image but it was a quick take. Matthew was listening to music on a mp3 player walking along and we felt lead to get his attention. The conversation started in small talk about what he was listening to (60's music he loved) but broke real fast from that to "if he knew who God was".
Matt was very into the conversation and for that I am so thankful and give praise to God. He said that he occasionally goes to an Assembly of God church but all that was really necessary to get to heaven was to pray a lot. At that point we asked Matt if he had sinned or recognized that he was a sinner and he did not think so. We ran just a quick test through a couple of the commandments and like us all, Matthew fell short. He at this point was really speaking with us and interested in what was next because as he said, "No one has ever told me I was a sinner or that I needed to be saved".
So AMAZING, we walk around trying and begging people to repent and sometimes we don't quite see the fruit right away through repentance but Matthew was so appreciative that we had told him this important information.
The biggest part of the conversation that really caught me off guard was how he said that no one has ever told him that. WOW. Going to church even once you should hear that the reason Jesus Christ is called the Savior of the world is because He SAVES people from their sin. Praise God for this opportunity!
From there we were really pumped and excited to see where the Lord was going next. Overall we spoke to about 6 different people and all separately different conversations like usual. We ask that you would head on over to our prayer request page and lift this individuals up to our Lord as He knows there hearts and situations they are going through. Even if we never see our new friends again, how amazing to know that the Lord is working on their hearts and He brings the increase!
We thank you for keeping in touch with this specific ministry and if you ever feel lead to join we would be glad to have to! Even if sharing your faith is completely new to you, how awesome to take the call God gives us and respond to it. Imagine how many people you may never have but a 10 minute conversation with, but could possibly see them in eternity with our Lord because of the obedience to share that great news! Praise God for His perfect work!
We look forward to sharing more with you so please keep in touch! - IN CHRIST!
