Spreading the Gospel

On Saturday we had our first evangelism outreach as a whole project, and it was amazing!!!  We went out to the beach in pairs and encountered in spiritual conversations with the people out there.  There were many positive responses from the beach-goers and it was very encouraging to share stories with everyone when we returned to the hotel.  People were brought to Christ, people learned about how to grow in their relationship with Christ, and many were simply reminded of the Lord's wonderful grace while we were out there.  The Holy Spirit was definitely with us and gave us the courage and words to speak to the people out there to make an impact on their lives.  It was inspiring to see God at work through His people because we asked for His presence and simply followed His command to spread His name among the nations.

I also had a great opportunity to walk to the pier and talk to a couple of guys today about their faith and help them to reflect on their lives to see if they are assured of their salvation.  It was a great experience and we exchanged information so that hopefully we can help them in their walk some more this summer.  We also invited them to dinner and our weekly worship and service tonight.  Their names were Alex and Victor.

Please pray that Alex, Victor, and all or the other guys and girls we've talked to since we've been here will be changed by these conversations and grow to know the Lord more.  Also, could you please pray that this week, as we all begin jobs and a few are still looking for some, that we are able to establish good relationships with people and be intentional about sharing the Gospel with them.  I start working tomorrow morning at 8 at Piper Fireproofing Inc.  Thank you for supporting our mission!!!
