SAVED!!!

Last Wednesday I spoke at a church banquet here in Winnipeg and challenged a group of about 80 people to give away a Bible before the end of the week. We had a great response with many people committing to give a Bible away for the first time. This morning, one of the ladies from that church stopped by to share a story with Marge and I. She told me that my message and challenge had really encouraged her to be bold in her faith and to share her faith with a family that she new needed the Lord.......what happened next is an amazing example of what God can do when we act on the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The family she connected with was an immigrant family from the Philippines. She has gotten to know them over the past couple of years but hadn't really talked in depth about her faith. She went to their place with a Bible for each family member and started talking about Christ and what He has done for her life and what He can do for their lives as well. By the end of the evening, the entire family was led to the Lord and they all had their own Bibles to grow in their faith. They will also be coming to church as well. AMAZING!!!!!!! I don't always get to hear the outcomes of my presentations, so it was so cool to hear this story first thing this morning. Made my week!!
