On Sunday we hosted our second “Lunch and Learn” at the church. After we ate lunch together, we had a brief time of learning as well. During the learning time, we began with “does anybody have any questions?” One man asked, “So, what does it mean to believe in Jesus?” I don’t think I could have asked a better question! Nobody got saved, but God is working.
We also went outside after that and fired up the charcoal grill to bake sweet potatoes. Everyone had seemed to enjoy the time together. As a group of guys were standing around the grill, it dawned on me that most of the men standing there weren’t saved! God has continued to bring people back and we are showing them how the story of the Bible leads to Jesus. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to work.
We are currently working to rent another facility to start another work on the south side of town. As we get the ball rolling, we are praying for three young men to spend their summer with us in 2023 to play basketball and make contacts. (brief video explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvhl6w4AeSI) Please be praying for God to provide these three young men!
Happy Thanksgiving!
