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.

First United Pentecostal church of Euless has an exciting program called Kidz Zone. They have catered a Sunday morning to evangelism, with three different bus routs, a hot breakfast, and an involved program with puppets, projection, music, and teaching. Each Sunday morning 40-75 kidz fill their fellowship hall to hear the word of the Lord.
As an extension of this ministry they started Yak Bak. An intermediary class where kids would transition from Kidz Zone, to a traditional Sunday Morning Apostolic church service. The age is 12-15 (aka Jr. High).
It wasn't long after makeing FUPC Euless home that someone mentioned me being in Yak Bak. And so after a few months we began. We spend two hours or so every Sunday morning drilling principles of the Word into the lives of our young adults.
The first month we talked about Prayer. The second we spent five weeks on the Word of God. This month we focused on Praise and Worship, and to conclude the month we went into the sanctuary to worship with the greatest music minister on the planet (my lovely wife). Praise and Worship was filled with power, and Bro Chad Mooney delivered a word from the Lord.
At the first mention of altar call, a young man made his way to the altar. With tears in his eyes he started to pray. After praying together and believing in faith Eddie began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Baptized at the age of 8 in our church, God completed the work of salvation in his life and we are so excited!
I just had to share.
