We had a good size group come out to share the Good News of our Lord, and were able to separate into 3 groups. 2 groups went door to door, and another went to visit with our brother and mentor ,(and to some, even hero), Bob Davis. What I know of the door to door visitation is that they went okay... One group had at least one lengthy visit that kept them late, and they ended the evening with some fellowship with the Dixon family from HBC. The other group presented the gospel to some people who, at least for the time, had their hearts hardened to speaking of the Lord. The neighborhood we have been in (Holly Pointe, for those interested in praying for the community and our missions there) is heavily populated with people involved in various cults that relate themselves to Christianity. Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons (Latter Day Saints) have lived in at least 6 houses in the neighborhood, the most of any single location to my knowledge of any neighborhood we have done visitation in over the years. Be in prayer for the Lord to do a mighty work, and may it start with the hearing and doing of the Word.
Now the visit with Bob Davis. Our brother Bob has been ill the past week or so, and on top of that his computer failed him last week as well. After having a member of our YAM fix the computer, we went over to visit with Bob and also to get his pictures, screen saver, music, devotional, and favorites (aka bookmarks) set up for him to get back online and poking on facebook and reading his devotional. He seemed to be doing well while we were there (it may have been the tylenol, but Im leaning toward the fellowship of the Spirit). His computer is all up and running, and let us be praying for his health and encouragement.
I know we have made mention of Bob in different lessons and prayer requests, but let me take a moment to boast in the Lord and His work in Bob's life. Bob wakes up everymorning, and has David Jerimiah's devotional sent to him through email. After reading the devotional, the same website that does the devotional has a through the Bible in a year guide. Bob clicks on the audio, and reads along on the page, so he can really let the Word sink in. He does this every morning, 2 passages out of 2 different chapters. This is his 3rd or 4th time going through the Bible. This, as well as his sharing of the gospel, and commitment to prayer, make Bob one of the biggest blessings in my life. If you have not met him, I would advise you doing so. Afterwards, add him on facebook. Im almost certain he is the oldest man on there.
In other comments, if you haven't met Jordan Reese (and wife Carolyn (sp)), I still recommend doing so. Thank you for reading, and if you know of somebody within the ministry that you think would be open to visitation (whether it be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, whenever) and in need of it, let us know and we'll work something out. We can always use help for us to go out sharing the gospel. If you don't like to talk, or are kind of nervous about the process, come out and just walk with us, and pray with us, and get a feel for how it works. The Lord has commanded us to make disciples. "And how shall they call on whom they have not believed? and how are they to believe in whom they have never heard? and how shall they hear without someone who preaches? And how can someone preach unless they are sent? How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news." -Romans 10 I pray you all would be burdened to have beautiful feet. -Bubba
