Sorry that I havent done a very good job keeping you all updated on this weeks project. Everything has run very smoothly here in Lubbock. We have been truly blessed by the people here and the amount of the city sponsors this project. Can I just tell you that the crews have done an amazing job sharing the love of Christ with the community. According to lastnight's numbers, there have been 230 presentations of the gospel, 7 recommitments and 28 salvations. Now if that isnt something to praise the Lord about, I dont know what is.
We have a crew cheif here this week named, Jimmy Red. He is from Mississippi and has a true compassion for those that dont know the truth of Christ. His crew alone led 11 people to Christ on Monday. He spoke with me a little on Sunday and he was a huge encouragement to me. He told me stories about how God has really emphasized the importance of not missing a opportunity to share Christ. He told me that tele-marketers are one of his most favorite groups of people. He never even lets them get started because he jumps right in sharing the gospel. It was so cool to hear him talk about that. In many cases, I know that we dispise getting those phone calls, but he doesnt. I was convicted by the spirit because I know in many circumstances, I miss opportunities because I dont have confidence that the Spirit can speak through me to others. ...just thought yall would like this and perhaps it convicts your hearts too.
Some of you may know this already, but others may not....I got sick yesterday and it was horrible. There is some sort of bug floating around the school and I caught it yesterday. Luckily I was able to sleep it away for the most part yesterday. Many of you would now know this but the beginning and end of the project is when my work load is heavy and I was very scared that it would not work out very well. But God healed my body quickly and I am much better today.
Well, that is an update on my life this past week. The crews have done a great job working this week and have been very successful. God is so good!!
Prayer request: pray for Daniel as he travels this weekend to see me for a couple of days in San Antonio. Also, pray for our youth as they head for Virginia today. Pray that the Lord will work in a mighty way this next week.
Love you all! See yas real soon!
