Exciting Sunday!Posted by: Jeffrey Andrews on Jul 13, 2010 |

What a day it was on Sunday. As most of you know, Spain won the World Cup. It was indeed a historical moment as they did what they had never done before. Spain had never gotten past the quarter finals in the World Cup...ever. Everyone was excited, the players, the coaches, the fans, and the country.
As exciting as that was, I am not referring to that when I say, "What a day it was on Sunday." For the first time in our ministry, we had someone come to Christ as a direct result of our ministry. We are still in the very beginning stages of our Church Planting ministry, but God has blessed us with Estefan, a man who has been coming for the last 7 or 8 weeks. If you remember, he is the man who I have asked everyone to pray for. He passed by the building one Sunday morning and saw the "escaparate" (window with information). Isabel, one of the ladies who faithfully comes to our bible studies walked up and said, "Do you like what you see?" They began talking, she invited him to stay, and sure enough, he did. He came to every service since that time except for one. Before and after each service, my father-in-law and I would talk to him extensively together and separately about the Lord, sin, salvation, repentance, the Bible, etc. Every service he heard sound biblical preaching and teaching on salvation. We took him out for coffee and went over to his house. We have prayed for him ever since the first day we meet him.
This past Sunday, he came into the church and said he had a surprise. He said he was reading his Bible and he read a verse where Jesus said, "Come to me." He told us that that day he accepted Christ as his Savior. We were excited. Today, he came out with us for the first time to deliver the Gospel on DVD into people's homes.
It is always exciting when someone comes to Christ, but this one is special, being our first. Lording willing we will be baptizing him soon. Continue to pray for him as he grows in the Lord.
