The lost will be found.

Mucoma Yeba Zibaway, Praise the Lord for His goodness and never ending kindness toward His children, From generation to generation His mercies never fail us.

The young man Bruce that I wrote about in one of my blogs has now given his life to the Lord. Coming from an Islamic family and an abusive stepmother; God has once again faithfully rescued His elect out of the hands of the enemy. Bruce is eighteen years old and now that he is of legal age he has made the personal commitment to become a follower of Jesus Christ.

Over Easter weekend Bruce went home to his village to visit his family; to find that his cruel stepmother was dying from a horrible disease. Bruce although being saved for only a few days, had taken the Bible we had given him and been faithfully reading through the gospel of John. Seeing how God worked many unusual miracles through the hand of the disciples; Bruce began to preach to his family about becoming born again and giving their lives to Jesus Christ. He also spoke to his stepmother about the power of God being demonstrated through healing. His mother wouldn’t allow him to pray and his family didn’t convert their lives to Christ; but God has done a mighty work in Bruce and that is the greatest miracle of all. Bruce is a very persistent man with a great desire to learn and grow in the things of the Lord. Brent and I meet with Bruce a few times a week now and are teaching him many things of the gospel. He always comes with many questions and is ready to learn and change.

I believe that there are many people just like Bruce who are ripe and ready for harvest everywhere in the world. If we will take the time to slow down from our routine of life and look for the divine opportunities in the everyday.

Lord burn eternity on our eyes, let us never grow cold to the lost around us, May our eyes stay focused on the things that matter. The kingdom we can build for ourselves will never compare to the Kingdom that the Lord Jesus is allowing us to be a part of, if we only take our eyes off ourselves. Naked I came into this world and naked I will return, The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
