Family of God,
Praise the LORD for His great faithfulness! Praise the Lord for His promises ~ His Word that will not return void! Praise the Lord that Jesus is and will build His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! (Matt.16:18) "O LORD, I will praise You!...Behold, God is my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for YAH, the LORD is my strength and song! He has become my salvation! Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation! ...Praise the LORD! Call on His name! Declare His deeds among the peoples! Make mention that His name is exalted! Sing to the LORD, for He has done excellent things!!" (Isa.12:1-5)
Praise the LORD for His recent movings! We stand amazed! Yesterday, Gregory, a man that we have been praying for came to the LORD Jesus! He is from a muslim background and has been wrestling with just who is JESUS? HALLELUJAH!! He is the one who opens blind eyes!! Also, two young men received Jesus on the street yesterday! Praise the LORD! HE is mighty to save!
Praise the LORD, this past weekend we were in Butler Pennsylvania with the Bright Hope Community Church. What a joy to see hearts stirred to GO with the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Sunday night we had a time of worship and word around a camp fire. It is so encouraging how the Lord refreshes us in His presence! Around 2:49am on Monday morning I received a text from Brother Rusty. After everyone had left, his friend Paul stayed and talked around the fire. He shared how there had been such a battle for him to come Sunday night. He kept hearing voices telling him not to go. Even when he was driving into the driveway, he was hearing voices telling him to turn the car around and go. The Father was drawing Paul!! Early Monday morning, Paul surrendered to Jesus, and asked Him to be his Lord and Savior! HALLELUJAH!! What a mighty God!! What a mighty Savior!!
Rusty is such an example to all of us! He sent out so many texts, and made calls inviting his friends to come to church and to the fire. Most importantly to come to Jesus!! Jesus calls His disciples (followers), to GO and make disciples!! (Matt.28:18-20) We can't afford to Keep the Good News to ourselves! We gotta give it away!! Lina did the same thing yesterday!! Lina brought her friend Gregory to Jesus!! This is what it is all about!!
Praise the LORD again!! Last week I worked with a team from Seattle, WA. It was a joy to watch them GO with the Good News!! One young lady shared Christ, using the Evangecube. I think about 20 kids gave their lives to Jesus!! She kept sharing the message over and over, and asking "Do you need Jesus to forgive your sin?" It was cool to see her on the subway, lead two young children to the Lord Jesus!! Praise the KING!!! May His Kingdom continue to spread!! May the Lord Jesus be glorified more and more!!
PRAY: This morning, I was reminded of two prayers that the Lord calls us to pray! "Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession!" (Ps.2:8) Jesus said, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore PRAY the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest!" (Luke 10:2) PRAY for souls to be saved from every nation! PRAY that the Lord would send forth laborers!! Then He said "GO!...Behold I send you out!" (v.3) "Who will GO for us? Who shall I send?" (Isa.6:8) PRAY~GO!!
WHO WILL ANSWER THE CALL?
We thank the LORD that we can serve the KING together! PRAYING and GOING go hand in hand! No Prayer ~ No Power! Thank you for standing with us!! May the Lamb receive the reward of His suffering!
Keep Burning 4 Jesus!
Brother Jeff
