Fourth Day of Visitations in Nicaragua

Today was perhaps the most blessed day we have had this week. The church sent Paul and I out on four different trips for visitations throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. Many heard the gospel proclaimed to them, and we gathered decision cards with the names and contact info for 25 of the people we ministered to. Of those 25, one was a rededication of a mother to Christ. The other 24 indicated at the consulsion of our visit with them, following a prayer of confession, repentenace, and faith in Jesus, that today they accepted Christ as their Savior.

It is late and I have to be up early for the final day of visistations tomorrow, so I am going to share only a few brief highlights from today below...

We met with Juan José (32) who had a tumor. He was sick and could hardly speak or get up from the chair. He did manage to indicate that he believed he would go to hell if he were to die tonight. I shared the gospel with him using my own personal testiomony which IC has printed in Spanish on a pamphlet that includes a series of questions, bible versus, and an example prayer. After we prayed over him, the man managed to tell us that his was pain taken away when we were praying over him for God's healing. His eyes were full of tears when he told us that after the prayer. His mother was also there, and she was the one who redicated her life to Christ.

We later drove out to the business where there was a big group of workers. 11 people heard the gospel and 8 indicated that they accepted Christ as their Savior after praying together with us. At the leading of an assistant pastor who was with us, we proceeded to have what was basically a small church service there at that location. Paul gave a brief message on love, while Elena (a local church member) and I translated for him into Spanish. Prior to that we all sang songs of praise to God together with everyone there. We also stood and prayed with a man and his wife who were separated, asking God to bring reconciliation. The woman went back to her seat crying.

In the evening we went out with Duglas and his wife Maria. Duglas is a second director at a Christian Unversity. He took us first to his aunt's house seven were led to Christ. At that house, one of their three daughters was over 8 months pregnant and was going into labor by the time we left.
