| We began today by holding a police service this morning in Danli. I got to testify here and spoke of how God can take your weariness of Spirit and give you peace and joy. We sang “Cristo Rompe las Cadenas” (Jesus Breaks Every Fetter) and the Spirit of God was present in that place. Faces began to change as they were touched by the Holy Ghost. Bro. Chris LePelley preached about not getting turned aside by detours of this life. |
God spoke through him and seven people came to the front to pray. The rest of the morning and early afternoon was spent hanging out in Danli and getting online to talk to our friends and families. We had an interesting experience with Bro. Pahlman driving…let’s just say he can hold his own in foreign countries! Autumn had some trouble trying to talk to people on her iPod, and it was pretty funny. Autumn and technology is like water and oil…doesn’t mix. Just kidding Autumn! Tonight was the last service of Youth Revival. Here, I also got to testify. A few weeks ago, God had laid the story of Hophni and Phinehas from 1 Samuel 2 on my heart. They were raised in church and acted like everyone else, but it was not in their hearts to serve God. My testimony really did not go with the others, but there was a girl there that Rachel had told me about who was in and out of church. If God gave me that testimony for just her, than thank you Lord for the opportunity! Bro. Daniel preached on Jesus calming the storm and did a great job; the Lord really helped him. Next, Bro. Brock preached about Elisha taking the mantle from Elijah. This was probably one of the best messages I have ever heard him preach. He had Bro. Jake Sumner come up and take hold of the mantle, then Bro. Scott, and then spoke of their burden and work for Honduras. Next, he asked Ariel, a young man, to come and take the mantle. As Bro. Brock continued the message about taking the mantle and answering the call, tears began to come down Ariel’s face. At the end of the message, Bro. Brock challenged the church members to come and pick up the mantle. Several of the men came, crying and praying. Ladies followed soon after. The Spirit of God swept that place. People prayed and cried, and even at the end of service when Bro. Alan tried to dismiss, people still prayed and cried. What a wonderful move of the Holy Ghost tonight! The Spirit of the Lord has moved so mightily these past five days. Even though I do not understand the language, I understand the moving of the Holy Ghost. No matter the country, time, or language, God is the same
