First day out in 2014 with a Witnessing Cross and our free Bibles. It was a balmy 38 degrees (F) here in Marshalltown, with a brisk wind, but compared to the sub-zero weather we've been enjoying, it was a great day to get outside and share the gospel. As usual for a Sunday at noon, I was at the corner of Merle Hibbs and Center Street, in front of Wal-Mart.
Had a young man named Josh stop by bringing some coffee, which was really nice, yet Josh did not know the gospel and hoped he would be forgiven some day. God allowed me to share about sin, judgment, Hell, and the wonderful gospel of grace. Another brother, Devon, stopped by and encouraged Josh to listen to the message of hope we have in Jesus Christ, and invited him to a Bible study he attends on Wednesday nights...same one my son Alexander's been going to.
Josh was extremely open to God's word, took a Bible and a "God of Wonders" dvd,gospel, wall and a tract. He longed to be forgiven, to the point of tears, and now he knows how he may be forgiven, fully & freely, because of what Jesus Christ has done. He sounded excited to get to that Bible study on Wednesday, and I'm excited to see the Hloy Spirit working in Josh's life, and am praying for his salvation and new life in Jesus. Wow!
Glory to God, and I wish you all boldness, compassion, love, wisdom and holy zeal, as you reach out to your community for our Savior.
Paul V.
