What a day! This is what we came here for! There were four professions of faith on the streets of Tupelo today. Three of those were students leading adults to Jesus. STUDENTS leading adults to Jesus.
Mariah Brown was poured out today. She was burdened by a lady she met Tuesday. She returned today to visit. After a 10 or 15 minute visit the lady asked Mariah what she meant when she said there is a difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus. By the power of the Holy Spirit she poured out the heart of the Gospel to this lady. The lady couldn’t do anything but accept Jesus and begin a relationship with him. This is why we came!
Casey Guess was with a group that was able to lead a couple of men at a trailer park to Christ. Our team was able to lead a 14 year-old foster child to Jesus. This is why we came!
Tonight was the “concert of prayer” service. In short, we stop everything and pray as teams and then as youth groups. The mood is very somber and the prayer becomes very genuine. Katie Chenowith re-committed her life to Christ tonight. A couple other students mended a hurting relationship. Another student is on the brink of salvation. When we stop and just pray, God works.
Tomorrow is our last opportunity. Please pray again for the people we will encounter. Also pray for the student here who is close. Her heart is as good as gold…she just needs God to draw her (Again, John 6:44).
Thank you for all the prayer support. Thank you for all the financial support to send so many kids here. Thank you for allowing God to shape us into a church to GOES, not sits.
