Wow........That is the best way to describe this day. It was truly amazing. We had groups going everywhere to canvas. Our plans may be great, but the plans of the Lord are the ones that prevail. We are truly learning the meaning of that verse this week. We plan on starting around 5:30 or 6 and don't really start until close to seven. Tonight we saw one of the reasons we start late. Nearly half way through Kevin's sermon several guys walked up that were late. Later on a few of those guys accepted Christ. The picture above shows the people that came to know the Lord tonight. God really showed up in our service. We had a Hispanic that gave his testimony and then Kevin spoke and God moved. The thing that blew me away was the first two guys that came up. They were young guys who were somewhat rough looking. Usually these are the guys that have to be big and bad and cannot let their pride down. Tonight they led the way. Makes me question if pride ever gets in the way of the plans that God has for me.... Just food for thought. It is a beautiful thing to see people worshiping to a song that is another language and they do not have a clue what is being said. That is what our church family was doing tonight. Several members of our team were standing with arms outstretched towards heaven worshiping, and did not know the words to the song. That is a glimpse of heaven. .....At the end of the worship the first two guys that came up to receive Christ, were dancing to a song that was in English. The smile on their face was indescribable and the glow that they had us awesome.
We always go on trips to bless others and return blessed. Those two guys have really blessed me just by seeing their obedience to God's call and then to see them dancing was out of this world. I just want to give everyone back home a heads up... people will not return the same. God is moving the hearts of OUR church family and people will return changed. Thank you for all of your prayers that have been felt. We love everyone very much and so thankful for our awesome families back home. God bless you and have a GREAT day.
Be Blessed,
Andy S.
I am so with you guys in spirit. Get rest and stay strong. Your work won't be done when you get home, you will need to pour into those of us who didn't get to go and need a touch!! Can't wait to hear about it in person. Thanks for the blog! Love, Karen
