Hey everyone, I have an awesome story to share with y’all!!! I just got home from hiking, and I need to cool off. But God met me on the Mt tonight, and I feel like a new man!!!! I love y’all, talk to y’all soon
While I was climbing up the Mt, I prayed that God would meet me and help me with everything. Also that He would send someone in my path to talk to. When I got to the top, I was able to read a book of prayers that helped me. I fell asleep through it, though. When I woke up, I decided to read my Bible before I went back down. In the middle of this, three guys came to the top. One of them asked what I was reading, and I told them that I was reading an example of a marriage ceremony that was in my Bible since I was studying to be a Missionary and wanted to be prepared for things like that. I found out that one of the guys was a youth pastor and the other two were sound guys. We were able to talk for over an hour. Surprisingly, everything that I was struggling with, the youth Pastor addressed with Bible verses without me even telling him what I was struggling with. Then we talked about how we need to share the Gospel with everyone and have a revival with the people. That we need to give up our sins to live right with God. They also said that the world needs people to bring the Gospel to them, and they believe that God will lead me to where He wants me to go. At the end, they told me that they want to keep track of my progress and what God does in my life, so we exchanged numbers. I am in the process of creating a blog and an email update, so they will be following that. The crazy thing is about this situation is that they weren’t even going to be there. They were scared by the rain forecast and wanted to go to the movies. They ended up at Sawnee anyways, though. I also almost didn’t go that night.
Prayers:
1. Please pray for C. He is making improvements, but he is a busy man running his own business. Pray that he would be able to read more Bible and grow as a Christian. Pray for him to find a home Church. Pray for him to get baptized. He is also in Peru on vacation right now. Please pray for traveling mercies. Also, pray that God would plant seeds of desire for the Mission field during this time. The way we met is extraordinary, and I truly believe that God has something special planned for him as a servant of God.
2. Please pray for me and my fellow students and friends.
3. Please pray for my Internship. I have loved working with everyone there so far. I appreciate the opportunities that God has given me here.
4. Please pray for revival in the Church. I truly believe that our time is limited before Jesus comes back. Paul tells us to wake up and redeem the time for the days are evil. We are alive, but we are living like we are dead. Revival starts with the individual getting right with God and taking action. If we truly believe in Jesus, we will act on that. When we act, this will encourage everyone else to do the same. We need to stop looking at missionaries and pastors to do all the work of reaching the lost. Let’s take that responsibility into our own hands individually and then collectively.
