Gentle Ben for Jesus
Yesterday, one of our small group leaders led a 40-year-old man to the Lord named Ben. It was great! Their small group has been praying for Ben for 5 months now. Sure enough, Ben came to the LifeTeam (small group) and saw that they had his name listed for prayer. Instead of running from prayer, he asked them to keep praying for him so that he could know the Lord. Ben has also attended faithfully at church for the last 4 months. Yesterday, gentle Ben asked the LifeTeam leaders to “have that spiritual talk” with him. Last night, a few of us fellows gathered to watch some NFL. During a very boring opening quarter, the LifeTeam leader couldn’t keep it a secret and gave us the good news. Not a difficult spiritual exercise — we turned off the NFL and just prayed together with a weeping, gentle Ben and gave thanks for what God has done in his life. He wants to be baptized soon and wants to follow Jesus for the rest of his life. Many of his friends were there who are in his small group and were so excited because they all had a part. This is the second person saved in their small group in the last 4 months.

Your site is wonderful. I just got logged on to it yesterday after reading your latest newsletter sent to ICBC in Allen Pk., MI (through Pastor Pearson). The baby pictures are also wonderful. She’s a doll and those of her brother meeting her left a big smile on my face.
