Slowly but Surely
Slowly but surely we’re beginning to see the hand of God move here in Puerto Lempira. Just yesterday I was able to pray with a young teacher at the local Christian academy to receive the Lord as her savior. I teach Bible to her students in 3rd and 4th grade. Last week when we were studying Samson, I asked her if she was equally yoked with her husband. She said she wasn’t married-even though she is quite pregnant. Later I thought-“How sad”! “What kind of example are we setting for the children?” Then I thought, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” She’s just a lost sinner. So yesterday while the kids were taking their final exam, I sat next to her, shared my testimony with her, explained John 3 and her need to be born again. She got choked up at one point so I asked her if she wanted to pray right now to ask the Lord to save her. She nodded “yes.” Would you pray with me that she be established in the faith and that she would be able to bear fruit someday for the Lord?
Follow-up is a big problem here at the local Assembly of God church (at all the churches for that matter). Pastor David has asked me to organize a way for the church to effectively follow up and disciple the new believers. The Pastor mentioned a man who used to be a deacon in the church but returned to commercial fishing to support his family. Pastor David describes him as an excellent brother who would be perfect for the job of full-time ministry. He would love to put him in charge of the follow-up and discipling ministries. Please pray the Lord give us wisdom for this important project. I think he needs about $150/month to live.
My wife Karen shared her testimony at the high school last week. Twenty of the twenty-four students in 9th grade do drugs. About 10 kids raised their hands and prayed to accept Jesus as Savior when she finished. Pastor David did a great job with the altar call. We plan to preach to all the classes (some 1,500 students total) over the next few weeks.
I teach the Bible to the soldiers at the local army base twice a week. I just started last week. We’re also designing a curriculum for a new believers class to begin this Sunday. We try to go the hospital once a week to pray for the sick there. Last week we prayed with as woman dying of AIDs. Another woman got saved. “Order my steps in your word, dear Lord.”
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Ro. 1:16
