The Lord blessed us yesterday with a great Sunday morning service...
We had a ministry team from the NEW GREATER BETHEL CHURCH (Cambria Heights, Queens) come in and do an evangelistic play titled "Jesus Dropped the Charges." It was awesome, and about fifteen men came forward for "salvation", and another ten inmates or so went to the altar to rededicate their lives to Christ.
I loved seeing how a dozen ordinary citizens, who love Jesus Christ, and who care about the prisoners, sacrificed all their personal time to come in and put on such an anointed performance. The Lord truly used these humble people, most of them who are housewives. I left the chapel feeling very happy and encouraged at what God did yesterday.
And moving on to some good letters, today I received a letter from a young man in Mississippi. Several weeks ago, he had written and asked me to share my testimony and a short message about forgiveness with him. He wanted to share it with his college class of about fifty students. He was very thankful, and he will get to read the message to his fellow students very soon (Lord willing).
Then I also received a letter from a man in Colorado. He has a ministry at the local jail. I do not know this Christian personally, but he had obtained a copy of the "SON OF HOPE" video which he showed at the jail a few months back. He then took it upon himself to write and share what God had done. I was so encouraged!
So, I would like to share a portion of his letter:

| "I am a volunteer at the Adams County Jail, and we recently received permission to show your video testimony 'Son of Hope' to our Monday night men's fellowship group. We are allowed to have only 25 men at one time at each of our meetings. When the video was over, we gave the invitation for salvation, and 10 men literally ran out of their seats toward the front... I can't speak for all of them, but (since then) I have seen a real transformation in many of their lives..." |
I have already written back to thank this minister. And once again, I must humbly thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because this was something He did, not me. I am simply happy to hear that more souls repented of their sins and have placed their faith in Jesus. Praise the Lord because, one soul at a time, heaven is getting filled up!
