Today we were late in arriving, for various reasons. A lot of the people to whom we normally minister were no longer present. This made for a more intimate presentation of the Easter message, that Jesus did not only die for our sins, but that he is alive and well, and seeks to bring healing and restoration into our lives. This week we did not have our usual spanish interpreter, but God provided for us, in the form of a bi-lingual Hispanic young man. He seemed to do an awesome job in translating, even anticipating what I was going to say. I believe God anointed him to preach, at least on this occassion - he was really getting through! One gentleman (M.) said he wanted to accept Jesus, so we led him in praying the sinner's prayer. A lady also seemed to be interested. We explained about baptism and arranged with the gentleman that we could baptize him on April 22. We pray that he will stay focussed and will take this step of expressing outwardly what has happened to him on the inside, surrendering his old life to Jesus, so he can now walk in newness of life. Please pray for these people that their faith would be strong. How awesome that God is granting Kingdom fruit to be harvested!
"The vision of the TMO is to ultimately reach every homeless, needy and addicted person in the Reno/Sparks area of Nevada, by winning their trust and helping them find resources on a physical level, and at the same time extending an invitation from Jesus to find hope, healing and recovery, and a fresh start in life."
