Tuesday night, during our weekly visitation time, Pepe (a church member) and I (Bill) were knocking doors; well, actually, we were calling our at the gates of homes in a nearby community. Our second visit was with Maritza. After some introductory conversation, I shared John 3:16 with her and asked if she were sure that she has eternal life. She quickly replied in the negative.
I then proceeded to show her how the book of Romans unfolds God's plan of salvation. She understood and shared some comments and questions with us. When I asked her if she would like to have God's forgiveness and eternal life, she said she would. As we bowed for prayer, what a joy it was to hear her ask simply and humbly for the gift of God in Jesus Christ!
Pepe's wife, Carmen, will be handling the follow up and discipleship. In this way, more people are involved in service, and the work can go on even when we are in the States. I have also given discipleship roles to several others as we try to help new converts along. Pray for Chu, Carlos, and Nelson as well as their mentors Felix, Efrain, and Pepe. It is a thrill to see these folks added to the church and to see more hands involved in the work.
