New to the Family...The Family of God!

We have had the great opportunity to be working with the College & Career group at our home church.  They are growing, they are excited and they are making spiritual decisions!

A few weeks ago, a young man moved from Illinois and made his way here.  He is currently looking for a job and trying to figure out life.  One Sunday night, he was locked out of the house he was staying at and had to wait for his friends to come back home.  He walked around the neighborhood and decided to step into church for the evening service to "waste time".  He was welcomed by our College & Career group!

He has been attending our Wednesday night class for a couple of weeks and he asked if we could meet sometime to answer some of his questions.  During lunch yesterday, he asked Christ into his heart!  We praise the Lord for this decision!

Then yesterday evening, when Kami was tucking in Silas for bed, he asked, "Momma, what do I need to do to be saved?"  She replied, "When you think you are ready to get saved, you need to go and talk to your daddy about it."  After a moment of thought, he said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

After about 10 minutes, he walked into our bedroom and asked about how to be saved.  We talked about sin, Christ, Heaven & Hell.  He understood so well and said that he wanted to accept Christ into his heart.  With heads bowed, Silas accepted Christ into his heart!

God gave me the honor of leading a 27 year-old young man and my 5 year-old son to Him in the same day!  What a blessing!  It's a day that I will truly never forget!
