We leave for Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas tomorrow. We will be working with a group of middle school aged students for a camp there. Please pray that God will move in the hearts of those students and that the commitments made will be eternal. Also, we desire your prayers for travel safety there and back.
As you know, we were recently in Honduras working with Keith and Dawn Moore. They are home on a brief furlough and we met up with them a few days ago. They were telling us of a lady who had been coming to their church for a couple of years.
She trusted Christ while we were there and it has been so exciting for them to see her growth and enthusiasm for the Lord since her commitment. Praise the Lord . . . we went to reach teens in the schools, yet the Lord also spoke to adults who came to faith in Christ!
Norberto, the associate pastor at Impacto Church, was the number 2 drug cartel in all of Columbia. While we were in Honduras he shared his testimony of how he came out of that background to faith in Christ.
He had everything this life had to offer materially, yet he knew there had to be more. His brother had come to faith and had been praying for him. It was through his brother's prayers that led him to conviction and the misery of his condition.
(The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.) Our prayers for loved ones sometimes seem futile, but the truth is, God honors our faith of prayer and supernaturally works behind the scenes to bring about his purposes.
Norberto has agreed to come to some of our Pizza Blasts here in the states to share his life changing testimony. It's awesome to see how God uses testimonies like this to show His amazing grace!
Because of Calvary,
Rick and Mick
