WOW! I started witnessing door to door today, in Pine Bluff, and I have to say that by and large these are the nicest, most receptive people that I have ever witnessed to, as a group. I talked to many people who expressed interest in the Gospel, and met a lot of Christians as well.

I think I am going to enjoy my time here; the people at Immanuel Baptist church are so nice and supportive.  I am even looking forward to working with the youth, something that scared me before.

In any case, Keep praying!

Till next time…

Well, we are back in Arkansas! The Pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church offered me a 8-10 week job, evangelizing the neighborhood, and working at the Church twice a week, too. We had a bit of a harrowing trip, getting here though. Our bike rack broke on the way, and our bikes are ruined. This is a small price to pay for the chance to serve the Lord, though!

I am supposed to start evangelizing door to door starting Monday. Keep us in prayer!!

We have had an awesome week here in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and I will be sad to leave.

Although the afternoon activities with the local youths was quite productive, the mornings were a complete bust. So switched tactics, and started witnessing door to door in the mornings, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The youth group are extremely into it.

Today, the youth group that we joined here, from our home church, decided that instead of going to play at the water park on the last day, they would spend the whole day going door to door telling people about Christ, instead. Needless to say, we were all very proud of them, though at first I must admit I was quite upset. I had been telling my 5 year old little girl that I was taking her to the Water park Friday, and when she asked the youth director about it this morning, I nearly cried…I m such a baby. Oh well.

So I and my wife decided to opt out this morning, and take our two little ones at least somewhere comparable to the water park. We ended up spending half the day playing at a local park, and observing Nature at the “Mike Huckabee” nature preserve. The kids had a lot of fun.

After lunch, we rejoined the youth group going door to door. It was an very powerful experience, not only witnessing, but seeing the youth dive in. We had several people show visible signs of contrition/repentance, and it was VERY encouraging.

Till the next one….
