Pastor Joe

The next group who went out door to door daily consisted of Pastor Joe, Adam, Caroline, Kelly, Stella(elder of the church), Hilario, Carmen, Jefferson, Karla(translator), Mauda, Jose(our bus driver), Darwin(El Carrizo) and Jesus(El Carrizo. The as well met with a devotional, prayer requests, plans for the morning and prayer for the hit the pavement and dirt paths of Le Gero Blanco. This group's most memorable witnessing experience was on their second day. They got the chance to share the gospel with a couple who were struggling with addiction and abuse. Although we hared the message of love with them and shared the gift of eternal life, they were still unsure of the decision they were making. We asked them if they would like to accept Christ and they said that they would, but we left feeling as if they still were not at peace with the decision. They to church on Friday night and came forward for prayer, and we could tell they still were wrestling inside. On Saturday night, Karl had the opportunity to speak to the woman. She came in tears saying that her boyfriend had returned to drinking and she was restless and looking for peace. Karla shared the gospel with her again and she accepted Christ, finally understanding the decision she was making. Our gracious God was to give Karla one more opportunity to share the plan of salvation with this young lady. We must pray for the young man and many others who that week did not receive eternal through Jesus Christ.
