Third Day of Visitations in Nicaragua

Today, my teammate Paul and I collected the names and contact information from 25 people who responded in faith to the gospel by asking God in the name of Jesus to forgive their sins and to take control of their life.

Just as yesterday, we went out during the morning, afternoon, and evening to visit people in their homes and places of business.

In the morning, we went to the neighborhood of a church member named Margarita where Paul and I went out together again with a few members of the church.

For our second visit, we went across the street to a cantina...at the mother's request we witnessed to a young man there in his twenties. The first question I asked him was whether or not he thought he would go to heaven if he were to die tonight. He responded by saying that he thought so because he had not committed any sins that were too dark ("black"). I explained the biblical view of sin and redemption to him by means of the Evangecube. Having tears in his eyes at one point, he came to put his trust in Christ. I then shared my testimony with a young woman there who might have been his sister, also at the mother's request. She also responded in faith to the gospel.

Paul and I were split up in the afternoon. We each went with two or three church members to separate parts of Margarita's neighborhood. They told us it was a rough part of town.

We counted a total of 14 decisions of faith in Christ that afternoon.

In the eveing, Paul and I regrouped and went to two houses instead of going to the church service. The evening time is the only opportunity for us to reach some of the people that are on the visitation list at our church.

The first house was a family of 5 strong catholics. They had a lot of symbolism in the home, including a flashing decoration with a picture of Mary (who is often referred to simply as "la virgen"). Each of the 5 made a decison to trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Praise God! He has done many mighty things for His glory and His kingdom this week in Nicaragua whike drawing so many unto Himself through this project.
