Isaiah 6:8

Life has been very busy lately, but I wanted to take a moment and write about my experiences today. I had the opportunity to share the gospel extensively with 4 mothers and 1 father today, and all I can say is “La gente necesita a Dios”. (People need the Lord)

This trip has increased my faith and is destroying my tendency to doubt. I love being able to see God work in the lives of people, and not just treat His Word like a textbook containing hypothetical situations. People have so many spiritual questions, and the Bible has the answer; we just have to get His Word to them. There are people here who cannot read and are older than me. How can they read God’s Word? They can’t! How will they hear except a preacher be sent, Romans 10:14-15?

I know that I am nothing on my own, but “woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel of Christ”! I have a ministry that is tiring mentally and emotionally, but I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world. What God has for me in the future I don’t know right now, but I know where He has placed me today; and I pray that I will be faithful to Him by proclaiming the gospel and completing the task which He has given to me today.


What is the will of God?

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men…. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

- 1 Timothy 2:1, 3-4
