There will be many delegates here next week!
Things will be very busy around here! For this reason, I will be waiting an extra week to post to my next blog. Look for some pics of our guests and of the services on February 23.
Soulwinning
Ganando Almas
Our group went to visit Ana, who recently had surgery. Ana attends sembradoras every Friday and keeps the nursery on Sunday night. While we were there, one lady asked her how many years she had served in the nursery -- 35! This dear lady told Jenny that she had kept Jon in the nursery when he was a baby. Mount Hebron is full of faithful men and women like this. Many of them were led to the Lord and discipled by Jon's dad, Pastor Tommy Ashcraft.
After a nice time of visiting and prayer, we went soulwinning on her street. My neighbor, Jessica led a lady to the Lord who had two small children. Yobana promised to come and visit our church. I have included a request for this in my prayer corner as it isn't often we come across someone whose family is not so steeped in Catholocism that they agree to come to church so readily. Pray with me that Christ, not Satan, will prevail in the lives of this young family.
It was nice to have Jon's sister Tammy join us, also. She and her husband are missionarries to El Salvador and came early for the conference.
Fourteen of us went door-to-door this week; the seven ladies in our van won seven.
Language
El Idioma
While still progressing through Rosetta Stone, I am also memorizing the verses in the Romans Road. We have made it a mutual goal for me to win someone to the Lord in Spanish in the year 2016.
