Praise the Lord for the many opportunities to preach the Gospel and train leaders here. Every day I am visiting homes, schools and meeting new people. Today I taught an entire elementary school the Ten Commandments. Using Bible stories opens the door for the Gospel, sometimes on the street, on the beach or in a house. Every day I lead a group of workers in a devotional here where I'm staying.
They actually listen! One of my favorite experience happened with a teen age boy who was guiding me around the neighborhood. We were on the beach when I told him the story of when Jesus told Peter to open a fish's mouth, take out a coin to pay the temple tax. It's such a funny story but it opens up a discussion about being a "son" of a great King. Pray for God to pour out His Spirit upon this region through His Word as it spreads through new story tellers. Pray for Cheryl as she joins me this Friday [May 27].
