For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. – Romans 6:23
By the grace of God, I preached the gospel to a man who had a heart attack. I had a few discussions with him on biblical subjects, about faith, about the salvation that is God’s gift through the Lord Jesus, which God offers to all who believe. After a few discussions with him, he said that he wanted to change his life and confessed to us what had happened to him lately, how on the night, he had the pre-infarction, he could not control his left hand and had hallucinations, which at the time were a great shock to him. He wanted to hurt himself, but he began to pray to God and confessed that he immediately calmed down and told a friend to call the emergency room. He confessed that he believed that only God helped him to realize in time that he was hurting himself. I encouraged him to draw close to the Lord by praying and reading the Bible. We pray for people who have heard the gospel, to be enlightened by the Spirit of God, to believe, and to repent.
With God’s help, together with a team of young people who came with “Cinema on Wheels” we had the joy of having an event for children (9 and 14 years). We were pleasantly surprised to see the enthusiasm. We were glad to see all the children memorizing verses from Bible.
The children heard how God, in the days of Noah, told them to make a ship with which to save their family, and we now have the opportunity to know the Lord Jesus whom God sent to save us and whoever believes in Him it will not perish, but will have eternal life.
We continued to have weekly meetings with the children, where we combined various activities with the explanation of the Bible for the children’s understanding, through which we want to make Jesus known.
We continue to pray for them not to be prevented from coming to the meetings by which we would like to know the Lord Jesus and His love.
Thank you for your support and prayers, we want the Lord to bless you and reward you!
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. – Luke 2:10-11
We are grateful to God for his help during this time. Again, God has shown his kindness and we were able to organize events for children in our villages. We were glad to see that many children who were accompanied by their mothers, fathers, and grandparents responded to the invitation to hear the story of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. The question that was asked to the listeners was this: “If we were to think of a picture of the holiday, would it be worthwhile if it were just a frame and had no image inside?” Then the children answered that they would have no value, but to understand what is being referred to, they were also asked: What characters or things from the Story of the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ, would be inside and what characters or things would be on the frame the holiday picture? We were glad to see that they were very attentive and understood that the lights with which we decorate, the food we prepare or the gifts we receive are just things that are part of the frame of the picture but in the center or in inside it must be our Savior Jesus Christ, the joy of the feast is He.
We pray for all who participated in these events to make the decision to have Christ as the reason for their joy and life!
