Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ

We enjoyed our three staff members being "tourists" that week. They even named one of the beaches after Egla. The beach of Egla. Each morning Egla and several of the team members made their way down to the beach to see the sunrise and have their quiet times with God. Egla thought she had found a hidden secret but soon several of the team members joined her "Beach". Orfilio was there to protect and guard the home daily. Thank you Orifio for being an awesome body guard. Jose learned the island very quickly as he took the team on the Kia wherever they needed to go. As I shared earlier the team stayed very busy with door to door and Marriage conference. The day Mike and I headed to the island we arrived on the island and Jose with a huge smile eagerly awaiting our arrival. We got into the Kia and the bottom fell out. God is good all the time. He took us through some beauftiful roads to the school where two teams were sharing the story of Mary and Martha and how they both served the Lord in different ways. Even in the pouring rain the gospel of Jesus Christ was being shared in a public school gymn area. Mike and I left to go find Pastor Espinal and the Marriage Conference. We sat in on the conference and observed serveral couples or individuals soaking up the word of God. As it was approaching lunch time the VBS teams arrived at the local church as the conference was coming to an end. The rain had come to an end as well. So we walked to a local restaurant to eat shrimp and fried fish. The restaurant was sitting on a corner near the dock for the ferries which were coming and going. The view from our table was breath taking. God's creation was all around us. The mountains surrounded the body of water. The short time Mike and I were with the team they never ceased an opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with someone. The team shared some God moments with me to share since I was not with them daily. There was one which really stood out to several of them. The first day on the island Pastor Jose witnessed to a man. Jose asked the man did he want to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The man said no thank you. So Pastor Jose told him he would pray he would not sleep until he accepted Jesus Christ. The last day on the island Pastor Jose saw this man and ask him was he ready to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The man said yes he had not been able to sleep since they had their discussion on the first day. Praise the Lord for one more brother in Christ who will see eternity one day. Pastor Jose gave him a bible and ask him to read it daily. What a challenge for all of us to stand bold in our witness for Christ. "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8 As Christians we need to pray and bring the lost to Jesus. Who works beside you today who does not know this Jesus we talk about. This Jesus who died a brutal death on the cross and arose again on the third day for you and me. If you are reading this today and you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please receive the greatest gift on earth: ETERNAL LIFE ONLY FOUND BY ACCEPTING JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
