A New Creation

We are excited to share some news with all of you! We were blessed to have a group of singers called the Continentals here last night. We had a community BBQ and then they performed a musical entitled "Beautiful Dreamer-The Epic Story of Joseph". We had a wonderful time enjoying the food and music, but what has us really hopping is that Corban asked Jesus into his heart last night!!!!!!! We are so overcome with joy that we can hardly contain it! Corban has been asking questions about becoming a Christian for a while now. During the invitation last night, he raised his hand and told me "I want Jesus in my heart". So, after the service, Corban, Merrill, myself, and Pastor Charles sat down and prayed and talked. Corban said that he knew that Jesus died on the cross to forgive his sins and that He rose again and is alive. After that, we all got down on our knees and Corban asked God to forgive him of his sins and said that he believed that Jesus is God's Son and then asked Him to come into his heart and be his Savior. I am so amazed and happy and thrilled!!!! Afterward, Corban couldn't contain himself. He told everyone he saw "I asked Jesus into my heart and I feel so good!" Please continue to keep him in your prayers as we begin to disciple him and teach him about his new life in Christ. We love you all and are so glad that we can share this moment with you.
