In August, we invited three individuals to some meals and revival meetings. Two out of three came. Trevor's girlfriend Kylie came for one night and her mother came for three. It was wonderful to have the chance to eat with them prior to the services and wonderful to know they would hear the gospel. Our joy multiplied as both Kylie and Angie
accepted Christ's free gift of salvation, assuring them of eternal life. Praise God! He opens eyes and ears. He softens hearts. He makes people hunger and thirst for Him and His righteousness. Now, we will pray for their growth in Him and their continued dependence upon Him for the trials and struggles of this life. He gives victory!
On friend night, they gave a free book to each one who invited a friend, and to each friend who came. Thus, I read through John R. Rice's Bible Facts About Heaven during my morning devotional time. It is a very simple little book full of nuggets of wisdom for those who wish to know more about the eternal destination of believers. Angie received a book, too, about assurance of salvation. This was such a blessing. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to read this John Rice book (he is the author of a powerful book my husband and I have been reading together, called The Soul-Winner's Fire).
