Thought I would share with all of you an exciting moment in ministry...
Last week I had the funeral for a 42 year old who died from a brain aneurism. Her brother has been absent from church since confermation (age 30) He has had a real difficult life, and many events lately had become a burden he didn't think he could deal with. But over the last 2 years we have built up a relationship, and he sat down to talk with me on two occasions.
After addressing many issues we turned to matters of faith, hope, and Jesus Christ. He said he wanted to begin a personal relationship. We talked for a long time about thise, I offered up a prayer with him, and gave him a Bible.
This is not something new to me, but it has been a while, and it feels like way to long. Pray for me as I meet with his wife today. I believe God is at work, and I rejoice in being able to be a part of it.
As I have really made an outward focus on ministry over the past 5 months, (Prayer walking and greater community presence) I feel like God is opening more and more of these evangelical moments to me; times to share faith and Jesus Christ.
Praying for each of you, CF

Craig,
That is awesome! May God provide opportunities for all of us to remember that is why we do all we do...to share Christ with others.
Craig,
God is truly blessing your work there. Maybe its all the prayer you're doing. Either way, keep going and keep sharing...we need to hear these stories of God's good work in our midst.
Craig,
Keep sharing Jesus - this is what ministry is all about! May Jesus walk with you!
