David,
who brought his two daughters, McKenna and Delaney, to minister with him in
Peru shared about how God went before them.
“My
eleven year-old daughter (Delaney) and I had a Bible study scheduled with two
non-believers who were seeking the truth.
Upon arriving at their house, only two daughters were home. Their mother had gone to the market and
the dad was at a neighbor’s house.
As we began to head to the neighbor’s house, we were prompted by the
Holy Spirit to invite the daughters to come, and we wee obedient. When we arrived at the neighbor’s
house, the elderly woman of the home said she was too busy to meet with
us. We explained that we were
there to share the story of God’s love, and she took us to a shady spot to
visit. We shared God’s story with
the group, including any children.
The entire group accepted Christ as their Savior! Once we explained what it meant to be a
Christian and how they can grow in their relationship with Christ, the older
woman told us she had been praying for a long time that God would send her someone
to teach her and bring her to the Lord.
We had played a part in God’s plan for her and were humbled by His use of us in fulfilling her prayer and God's will."
“My first mission—Peru 2012—was an amazing experience where God used me and pushed
me!
I was at my first house. We asked permission to share the story of God’s love and she responded “si,” so I did! I shared the gospel with Rosio and her son Edwardo and then asked if they wanted to be followers of Jesus Christ. She said “si” and that feeling came to me! That feeling of peace, joy and the feeling you are doing something right! I smiled and prayed with her! I scheduled a
discipleship meeting for the next day and headed for the next house. But I prayed thanks that
the Holy Spirit filled me and used me to His fullest power, and I got that feeling again.
When I went back to Rosio’s the
she brought her husband!
I shared the gospel with him, and he accepted Christ, too! Wow! And that was just one family. I had about 10 more families, too!” After several promptings from the Holy Spirit, team member Bob knew he was to share the story of God’s love with a police officer watching from a distance. After sharing with Rangeel, Bob asked him if he understood what was shared and if had questions.
He had one question dealing with the depth of sin and God’s willingness to forgive us. Bob assured him of the greatness of His forgiveness, and Rangeel readily accepted Jesus as his Savior. Bob then witnessed a great sadness being lifted and a joy coming into his eyes. A few days later,
Rangeel brought two fellow police officers to meet with Bob, so he could share the story of
God’s love
with them. They, too, became followers of Jesus. Not only that, but Rangeel
also offered a parcel of his property to lift up a church!”
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish
infinitely more than we might ask or think" (Eph. 3:20)
…In us and those we are ministering to.
