Wednesday afternoon we got a knock on our door from a man who was selling magazines and books.  After he made his sales pitch, Messiah (which was his actual name) began to talk about how nice our home is and how, through his hard work and dedication, he would some day own something like it.

It was the perfect opportunity for us to share with him what God is doing in our lives, and how we are selling our home and moving to Winston-Salem, NC to plant a church.  One thing led to another, and I was able to share with Messiah how Jesus Messiah left heaven and came to earth, lived a sinless and perfect life, shed his blood on a cross as payment for our sins, and was resurrected, conquering sin, death, and hell, so that we can have a relationship with God the Father.

As a result, on Wednesday, January 6, 2010, at approximately 2:30 in the afternoon, Messiah placed his faith and trust in Jesus Messiah for salvation on the front porch of our home!  My wife, Wendy, then gave him her new Bible, so that he would have a copy of Scripture that he can understand.

Please pray with me that God will continue to work in Messiah’s life as Scripture reveals to him the way God intends for his children to live.
