THank you brother, I would love to pray. As for me, health is always a struggle, yet I am not to trust in myself but God who gives grace to do his will. such greater glory await us. Praise God. Press on and may we be willing to endure all things, that some might be saved. We really can praise God in every trail, we need to just look to the cross. Blessing May God open doors and hearts for his glory. In Christ Charlene

So a few updates with those who live near by. I was outside watering the garden when my neigbour came up. he is 19 years guy, we talk for while about goverment and other things. Then it came down, Christ is the only way. No there isn't many ways, he got angery and end the talk. He is not upset at me, he just think I was not right. His older sister is who I have been going over to and doing things with. Yesterday I went over hopeing to share a little more about God with her. I am It was maybe a month before I gave her a gosple of John and she took and went to read it. I went over and for two hours I answered questiones After after it seemed we talked little here and there. I just kept praying. Just a week ago she called and said I got a job. She was so happy. she said please come and tell about God and what he thinks I should do. I didn't what to say. so I called as many friends and ask them to pray for me. My mind was useless that day. I went over that day and gave her Gods word and told what her greatest need was, and hope to piont her to seek God. After leaving I was so dispionted I had hope some good words would comed out of my mouth, yet God reminded me His word is powerful. so Just yesterday I hope to share more with her. but when I went over, she was busy, but she said she would go the food bank with me to get some things. I was kinda sad I didn't get to share, but also had to be happy we could hang out. I just prayed and knew God could work. I ask God to give me a open door today. To my suprise everything was different. she called and she started talking about God right way., her sister had did a small bible study with her on the phone the night before. When I got into her van, she had the christian radio on. God is really working in her heart, Please do pray for her.
ALso the birthday party was really neat, I wasn't ready at all. I drop the boys off at school and took my bike to the store to get the things needed. by the time I got home, it was soon time to go pick them up. I thought that the kids would be drop off or could come over when things started, I was wrong, when I got the school there was already 7 kids ready to come to my house, I said they could so we all walked home, as then another boy join on the way to my house. The girl help with the cake and boy played out side on the tree hosue my brother made, which is a grace from God it is prefect for them. God opened the door one gilr ask me Why did Jesus die on the cross? I also got to read them a stroy.
Now when we walk home from school, there are a few kids who would like to come over and play. May God open eyes of these little kids to the gosple.
Next door I went over tonight and the young lady is to come over on Monday, also the other family son, said as I was leaveing he said to me "you believe in God?" I said "yes I do". he said Jesus I said Yes He said "he is not God." I said yes he is. we were not able to talk more, please pray his eyes will be open to see that Jesus is God.
thanks charlene

Hi Charlene, I know what you've been experiencing. Sometimes when you want to minister the love of Christ and share the gospel, things don't quite work out exactly as we had hoped. Often Satan will tempt us to think that everything we've been doing is all for nothing. That's when it can be easy to get discouraged. Be encouraged sister, as you are being faithful to God's calling God honours faithfulness in his saints. Praise God that he is using you to bear testimony to others about Jesus ! That's wonderful. I'll pray about this man you were sharing the gospel with, recently. In Jesus, John Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

there is new family I met a little better yesterday they speak little if none eng. May God give me Grace with them. I am praying if God would like me to start a eng class at the apt place outside, I would need to get a big white board. I would like another person to do it with me. I guess pray for someone who would like to do that. There is 4 family it takes about 3 hours sometimes when I go over, so having all together would easlier. But it also take more time. Thanks
what are my plans, Your will be done today. Charlene

Hi Charlene,
This lady who is a JSH, she's a Jehovah's Witness, right ? I wonder if you look on the internet if you might be able to find some good stuff written by people who are former Jehovah's Witnesses...that might have some good ideas for verses that you could discuss with this lady. I will pray for widsom to know which book to start with. One topic you may want to discuss at some point is the deity of Christ. The book of Revelations shows that Jesus is the 'First and the Last', that God the father is the 'Alpha and Omega'...and since in one place in Revelations it refers to Jesus as both 'First and Last' and 'Alpha and Omega'...this tells us that Jesus and God are one.
In Jesus, John

Last week I went to go and visit mary, it was dispionting as she was watching tv and was hard to talk with her. I left her house wishing I could talk with her more. I had my little sister with me. So we went to aother family house, it was so fun seeing them. It was lots of joy.
Then to night I had a friend from church come and visit with me. We went to the frist house and they brought chairs out for us, and we all sat down and started or tried to talk with them. I tried to say her name it was funny. she was laughing at me. Her daughter came and her son and then a other lady then her son. Then family from across the way want us to go over there, we took them to the store. on coming back she you are my friend. May God use these frienship to share Christ with them.. Blessing Charlene

The lady who is Kay, she is LDS. Her bible say that Jesus is not God, where can I take her in the bible if her bible has changed the words?

You can take her right to the KJV Bible. That is the authorized LDS version, and the gospel of John says the same as ours does.
