Last night Mihia brought these two young men, John who is 19 and Daniel 17 to hear the Gospel. They both decided to accept Christ as their Saviour. Mihia brought them over to talk in the Zone 9 apartment and after about two hours of using the extended version of "Share Jesus Without Fear" they both prayed to ask God for forgivness. At the same time also admitted that they couldn't get to heaven through good works. So pray for these two young men. I found out later that John, the guy in the middle did a lesson from the John studies last year with Pastor Jay Raines, who just happens to be coming back in two weeks with his entire family. His church, Cameron First is very missions minded as they are sending three teams to help start the work in Zone 9. They are the ones who sent Lanny the "Tennis Man" and Mr. ManSingh the guy who got us in the big Steel factory. They also have Nancy and Whitney and Landon...and..Carrie..and....and.. who have come over to help! They are a great group of believers who encourage us so much to keep on keeping on!
Anybody who has worked with the Orthodox believers knows that just praying a prayer is not a quarantee that someone got saved. This is probably the worst part about working with the American mindset. Sometimes it is very difficult to know what to do because if you do pray a prayer with them it can run them off, scare them so to speak not knowing exactly what they were doing "repeating a prayer" with a complete stranger. So over here we wait until they give clear testimony to their own "Salvation" experiance to consider them "Born Again". They must really make Jesus their Lord and take this to heart before God will bring them into His family. This becomes very clear after working here for four years that not everybody who prays a prayer gets saved. (Read my post on Bogdon...one of my converts gets saved)
So pray that these two men will begin to do lessons with us at the apartment and become apart of the Zone 9 Team.
