New Sunday night meeting

Tonight, we hosted our first weekly meeting for people who we met when street witnessing. Seven long-haired, 17 year old young men came with questions about what we believe and heard Steven and I share our testimonies from 8pm to 10:30pm. They actually spoke and understood English very well, so we were able to share freely how Jesus called us to himself. They listened intently and asked a lot of the same questions we asked ourselves before committing our lives to Christ. I think we related well to each other since I too was a long haired rocker in my late teens. I let them take turns playing my guitar in the background while we all talked seriously and ate cookies our wives brought out to us. They said they would come next week to begin learning what the Bible has to say and perhaps bring some girls so that our wives could share their testimonies too. Our meetings will start at 8pm after our kids go to bed, and it doesn't get dark until about 10:30 this far north. We might set up a circle of chairs right outside our front door like we did tonight, although we are thinking of buying a couch so that more people can comfortably sit inside where there are no bugs. Anyway, we are trusting the Lord to save some of these guys and to see them begin to live for Christ.

  1. Awesome to see the Lord already drawing people. It truly seems like the youth are searching for something that is true. Will continue to keep you in prayer and keep us informed on how next week goes.

  2. Great to hear about the way the Lord is using you, your family, your testimony and your time! I pray that the Lord will open the eyes of unbelievers to the wonderful mercy and grace that He provides and supplies to those He loves. Gods peace and strength to you, brother. - Mike and Ellie Parker
