When a church is on mission with God, you can see it in many little ways. This past week there were so many ways FBC Harlingen evidenced it is on mission with God.
Four men travelled through Mexico for a week, three of them riding motorcycles, and they were used by God to travel over 1,200 miles to see 50 people come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. This was a great trip and I look forward to our church hearing about it this Sunday in the morning services; pray for Randy Rister as he shares this great testimony.
Randy also did a chalk drawing on Wednesday evening for our AWANA ministry. During this service God shared the gospel through Randy and 3 children accepted Christ as Savior and 3 others committed to be baptized. This Sunday morning we will see the testimony of some of those children and celebrate with their families. One of these children is celebrating her birthday this Sunday and she looks forward to being baptized on that special day.
Bro. Frank shared with our church the opportunity we had to minister to those in Eagle Pass whose lives had been changed by the tornadoes. We have seen our church family respond in love by purchasing items and giving financially to see these families cared for during this difficult time. The group leaves Saturday morning to carry the items to Eagle Pass, we pray for their safe travel.
This next week we have the privilege of helping a new family to our church to load their belongings into a moving van and head for Colorado. We will help them load, send them off with prayer and thank the Lord for the short time we had them in our earthly family, and praise the Lord we will see them again some day.
What a great week!!! What a great Lord!!!!! What a privilege to see him serve through us!!!
