it's amazing to see God's plan unfold right before our eyes. my youth mates and i spent the entire afternoon roaming the streets of Camachile (near Ciudad Grande) in groups of two to pray for God's revival in that area. we're no bigshot evangelists nor missionaries but we believe we can conquer that place for Him through our secret weapon -- prayer.
the original plan was just to dedicate the place for Him but, through His grace, we were able to have our first breakthrough. God opened one of our youth's relative's house for the group to share the word. five teens joined the gathering and sharie led the group in studying life's most meaningful relationship. we then broke up into pairs to pray for the newcomers.
i had the wonderful opportunity to talk to one of the newcomers about her relationship with Christ. she told me she had accepted Christ long before but has become sidetracked with all of life's busyness that she seldom had time for Him. deep in my heart i felt a certain kind of sadness that she was not able to grow in her faith deeper. but i believe God has set that time for her to recommit her life to Him--and that is all that matters.
i'm blown away by how He has worked during that entire afternoon. surely, our bodies were tired but our spirits were more than refreshed. it was our group's first taste at the harvest field and i pray that He'd continue to bless His work in us (and all of His workers). To God be ALL the glory!
P.S. They all promised to attend church with us this Sunday. :)
Help us pray for the harvest field...
