Praise the Lord!

The most amazing thing happened Sunday night! I wish you could know how excited I am! I have a friend named Alejandra, who speaks English as well as Spanish. She and her friend Diego, and his brother and two other friends and I went out Sunday night so that I could see some of Bogota. Little did we know that we would be used by God to help further His kingdom!!! The extent of our trip was going to restaurant. We decided to only get coffee and lemonade because of the expensive price of the food. It was the perfect atmosphere, because we were in this little room to ourselves with two girls, whom we did not know. It was a restaurant that is very typical of Colombia, and we sat on the floor on cushions and mats. As we were drinking our coffee and lemonade, Diego asked me to share Jesus with the girls. I knew I could not pass up this opportunity. First, I started by introducing myself, telling them where I am from, and that I was here as a missionary. I told them that I didn’t know if they knew Jesus, but I felt like God wanted me to tell them about Jesus, and about the relationship they can have with Him. I told them what He has done for me given me peace, hope, eternal life, purpose, and meaning in life. I told them that I will tell them what I told my friend from my school. I started in Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” then on to Romans 5:8 “God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life,” next Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead You will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation.” After this Diego’s brother, Ariel, shared his heart about Jesus, then we all took turns responding to their questions and comments. It was so awesome! The whole time Alejandra translated for me. Finally, we told the girls that we would conclude, and I asked the girls if they would like me to pray with them. I asked them if they would like to ask Jesus to be their Savior and Lord. They said yes, because they believed that God was in this situation and that He probably wanted them to give their lives to Him! It was beautiful! I led them in a simple prayer asking Jesus to be their Lord and Savior! I thought about all the angels in heaven rejoicing as they were born again! I would have to say this one of the most amazing things I have ever been a part of!!!!! All the glory goes to Jesus! Thank you so much for being a supporter of the Kingdom of God! You will have such a great reward in Heaven! Alejandra and I are going to start English classes/ Bible studies in order to reach more people for Christ! So please pray for us! Please pray for the two girls who received Christ last night! Thank you so much!
