Watch OUT!

When you ask God to give you opportunities to serve Him, to place people in your path who need Him WATCH OUT! Get ready! He will answer. We have been blown away by the people and opportunities God has placed in our path in the past few weeks. For example, some dear friends of ours called and asked Christian if he would be willing to visit their aunt's new store (she is opening a small grocery type store) to bless it. While we know full well that the aunt or our friends themselves could simply pray over the store (we ALL have equal access to God!) Christian felt led to go and he prepared himself to share the gospel. What a joy to hear that he was able to share about Jesus and that the uncle accepted Christ into his heart. He had previously been very anti- Christian!

This week Robin had the chance to invite one of our new neighbors to MOPS. She is a young mom with a four month old little boy. It was amazing to see her respond to her time at MOPS... upon returning home she shared with Robin that she had once been a Christian and had walked away from the Lord. Her hearts desire is to return! She also shared her burden for her brother in law and sister in law (who also live next door) who are practicing witches. They regularly participate in witch craft, live sacrifices and worship of satanic idols. Robin assured her that Jesus is more powerful than anything evil and they prayed for her safety, her family and salvation for her husband and brother and sister in law.
Jesus is working! Are you joining Him? One of our favorite Bible studies is "Experiencing God" and it teaches that we should look for places where God is working and join Him! Ask God today to show you where He wants YOU (yes, YOU) to join into His work - Ask Him to send people your way that need to hear about Him.... and then get ready! God will surely place in your path opportunities to shine for Him.
