REJOICE!!

We have reason to rejoice this day because we have a new brother...Henry!!! This morning, while out diong surveys with my group, Melvin and Jacob, we were able to share the good news with a young man and he prayed to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior! God is so good and He alone is worthy to be praised! He has heard our cries for the hearts of this city and is slowly drawing His sheep in.

My sheep hear My voice, and I

know them, and they follow Me.

John 10:27

In other news, early this morning we went out and stood on the street corners and handed out free newspapers to men and women as they headed for work. Much like the free gift of grace, people find it hard to believe that we are just giving out free water and granola bars and papers. They always assume that there is a catch, and we just want to serve them and love them and sow seeds. There is no propaganda and that is a huge misconception that these people have. They believe that NOTHING in life is free and we want something in return. It's so simple and yet so hard for them to grasp! Pray that God will use His might to break down the walls around these hard hearts and that He would humble His creation that they may cry out for salvation through GRACE ALONE! He is sovreign and has an incredible plan. Let us be patient to do the work we are called to do and trust Him to take care of the rest!

So that, as sin reigned in death, grace

also might reign through righteousness leading

to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:21

Lastly, tonight, we will be going to an outdoor viewing of Madagascar this evening in White Plains and when the hoards of people leave the park, we, Christ the King Church, have volnteered to pick up trash. So it will be a late evening for us. But I am totally looking forward to our time in the city tomorrow. On the schedule is World Trade, Statue of Liberty, Times Squares, Staten Island Ferry, and, lastly, a trip to the Bronx for a Yankees/White Sox game. WHAT FUN!! I most likely will not blog again until I return to "the loviest village," so pray for our safe travel and return to Auburn. God is soo good..... :)
