Praise reports

I love when I can report good news to all of the blog followers. Let me share these awesome stories:


I was talking with a gentleman tonight who wanted to share with me an amazing story. This older gentleman has been praying for his granddaughter for years, she is close to 30 years old. For many years she has struggled with making the wrong decisions. Many times she felt like a failure and her grandparents would talk to her on the phone and encouraged her.


Over the past few years life has been very challenging for the granddaughter and her husband. He has been to Afghanistan a couple of times and has experienced lots. A few months ago he made his way back home, but during his time away the grandparents continued to pray for them and encourage them and talk to them about God.


Last week the husband was at work and told his boss he needed to leave work during his shift. He then called the local pastor and set up a meeting for he and his wife. They walked in and talked to the pastor and both of them gave their hearts to Christ. As soon as they walked out of the pastors office the granddaughter called her grandparents to thank them for always being there for them and for praying for them. She said thanks for never giving up. I love that, what a story of perseverance in prayer and love.


We started our downtown Tsunami Bible Discussion this morning at Trinitea's Cup. We were blessed to have six people around the table including myself. It is a great start, and we hope to have more join us on a regular basis. We will be meeting weekly, except for next week as I will be in the Dominican Republic, at 9:30 and we finish at 10:30. Bring a friend, it is awesome doing a Bible discussion out in the open as people walk in.


Be encouraged, never, ever give up. At just the right time God moves.


I would ask for your prayers as well for Carol, one of our board members. It looks like she has a recurrence of her cancer that was healed 4 years ago. Lets join together in lifting up Shawn and Carol as they face this trial in their lives.
