Thanksgiving from My Hope

Seeing my friends and neighbours come to know the Lord was something I’ve always dreamt of, imagined, hoped for and prayed for, but for the first time on a Friday, it came into reality. Seven of the 21 pre-believers came to know the Lord while 4 believers rededicated their lives to Jesus! The following night, 6 of the 11 pre-believers received Christ! God often does more than our expectations! On Saturday night, I prayed for my parents in their presence for the first time in my life. The presence of the Holy Spirit was strong, and tears flowed. My father’s eyes were red by the end of the prayer. Even though they have yet to make the decision to accept Christ, I know that a seed has been sown in their hearts and there is new hope for their salvation!
