New Names Written Down


Yesterday was a beautiful day to have an evangelistic children's meeting. Sebastian had planned and prepared for the day and had asked for the teens to be the helpers. God brought 48 children to the park to play, sing and hear a devotional focused on the Cross.
Three children, including Nilsan (above in center), asked Christ to be their Savior! Another was our 6 year old daughter, Isabel! Kaitlin brought her to me and told me she had raised her hand in the invitation. I'm really so honored to have the blessing of leading people to the Lord. To have another of our children trust in Christ alone for salvation is thrilling beyond measure!
Today in Sunday School Isabel threw her hand up into the air when the general question was asked about who had been saved yesterday. And Nilsan also declared she was saved too. Praise the Lord for this first step for both.

Thank you for praying for our children, our family and our ministry here in Uruguay! God is answering your prayers! And ours!

During our missions conference in November we will have a youth evangelistic meeting...COLA WARS. Please be praying now for many young people to be there and for God to be at work in their hearts now, preparing them to be receptive to the Gospel.

Praise the Lord. the Angels are rejoicing. Isn't it wonderful when we can pray with our children. That is truly how God designed it for us as parents to be leading them to the Lord. You are a blessed family.

Debbie, a Halleluiah from here and in heaven for salvation for your daughter. I told my friend at church yesterday I had begun to read your post, she is involved with the mission team here in Hemet at Bible Fellowship Church. She was excited for me. Have a great day!!
