This Sunday it was Justin; a small young man who quietly walked into yak bak two months ago holding a bible in an old embroidered bible cover, that looks like one his grandmother made and carried. This quiet young man, was respectful, and responsive all in a reserved manner. He would listen, and answer honestly. He would smile rarely, but you felt like he probably was listening.

A week ago Sunday night Justin's Dad, and Dad's girlfriend brought Justin to Sunday night service. They came again last night. And while the Holy Ghost was moving across the congregation, and the power of God was obviously ministering to the people, Justin's Dad tapped me on the shoulder. He wanted to give his life to God.

The experience was so new to him. I knew that his prayers were sincere and true, but held in by a gate that the man himself didn't know how to open. Bro McLaughlin came to talk with him for a moment, and while he did I motioned for Justin to join me. I spoke with him briefly but then went back to pray for his father. It was while that man was trying so hard to reach to God, that his son's heart burst. Justin began to weep before the Lord.

I prayed with Justin and we talked to God. Neither one received the Holy Ghost, but what a powerful step both made. To truly open themselves and seek after God. "Oh what fellowship divine. I am His, and He is mine. In the presence of the Lord, there's fullness of joy."

God is doing wonderful things in the city of Euless. Please pray for the souls that are coming in. 15 have received the Holy Ghost in 6 weeks and 9 have taken on His name in baptism.

Every now and then I get amazed that God still loves me and speaks to me. And sometimes I still get a little surprised that I married Julie Jones.
