Just To Do A Little Preaching

What would you expect from seven high school aged guys?   Guys who purportedly have been influenced by Christianity, who go to church and went to Christian school.

You would hope they had some understanding of the Bible... Some of them did.
You would hope they would be respectful... They were.   (there were a few eye rolls)
You would hope they would be born-again...  They were not.

My own 'backyard' so-to-speak, provides my fishing hole very often, and it did again tonight as a group of high school aged guys parked on our hill and were hanging out talking out in the street.

Lord, please reach the hearts of those young men.   Help them to be excited about you.  Help them to come to know you.   Help them to be excited about your Word.   Dear God, please grant them repentance and faith.

Dear God, please reach Alex's heart, and help him to put his faith in you.

God bless...

Please Pray for These

I just want to mention the names and stories of a few witnessing encounters I've had over the past couple of weeks, with the intent of soliciting prayer for these dear souls.

Malachi was at the Everett Gospel Mission last weekend.   He was a very bright-eyed young man, who was open to the Gospel message.   He had a 'Christian' upbringing, but was presently a Taoist.

Carlos (and his girlfriend) were at the Everett Train Station today.  They were very open to the Gospel.

Brian, at the Everett Train Station today.   Brian had a VERY HARSH hypocritical father who claimed to be a Christian.  Brian professed to be a Christian, and he had gone through several years in deep darkness addicted to heroin, but was sober now.  He had a job(s) working with at-risk youth at ?Lambert House?   He admitted to us that he was gay, but he was celibate.   He understood that was a problem with God, and he allowed us to pray for deliverance for him.

Jorge, is a 37 year old Catholic priest, who I had the privilege of witnessing to on the bus ride home from Seattle last weekend.   He was definitely 'catholic', as far as his doctrine, but I had the chance to speak the truth to him in love.

Nicole, was somewhat of a homeless youth we encountered and her friend, Dakota.   She was very open to the Gospel, as you will see in the video:

I have to say, in all honesty, the Lord had provided great compassion for those we have encountered.   As well, the Lord has provided wonderful, marvelous opportunities for sharing the message of the Gospel.   I pray for these dear people, that they would fall on the mercy of God, and trust Jesus Christ as their savior.   God is so gracious, and he loves these people, and the many others who have escaped my memory.

God bless...
