Praise the Lord

So tonight there was an incredible chapel service. First off we had communion which is always moving to stop and reflect on what Christ has done. Then the Malichi missionary Nate Johnson spoke. He spoke from Phil. 3 which is probably one of my favorite passages. He summarized what the last few years of his life have been changing ministries and how in the process of making decisions God was speaking to him and showing him that to follow Christ to really follow Christ means to share in his sufferings. That is that the gospel has always been carried forward through suffering.

Then after the service remember the gal Rebecca ( the one who accepted Christ a few weeks ago) well she was back in town this weekend and is headed back out on Monday. So Sunday night after service we had a baptismal and she snag Chaplin Bradshaw between the sancturary and the baptismal and told him that during the service she felt that God was saying that she should be obedient and get baptized. So right there ten minuets after the service she got baptized making a public professing of her faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Praise God He is so Amazing

Then I found out that when Rebecca gave her testimony of accepting Christ on Friday night at the lighthouse an officer on the Ford was challenged by her testamony. So latter Friday night this gal the officer on the Ford recommitted her life to Christ.

There is an update for you enjoy.

Glory be to God!!! Thanks for posting this Eric. I'm so excited about what God is doing there through you. Your post has challenged me to redouble my efforts in prayer for you. I pray the fire keeps spreading and more people are affected in a saving way by the Gospel and by these testimonies. May God strengthen you Eric, feeding you from His Word and giving you food from the Word to feed others!
