Good News

Dan and the team had an exciting night witnessing in West Hollywood last night at the table. God kept them safe, and He brought many people over. They were really busy. We had new books for the table and new DVDs of testimonies to make the most of such an opportunity.

"LTW to the Smokies":

My mother did not get to set up today in outreach, though she tried. She cannot set up the table without a permit; the people at the Park Ranger's office apologized, and they said it was their fault, but they had not processed the permit for her this weekend. She is looking forward to setting up next Saturday.

"God's Heart to Central Park":

This outreach location is still without a leader. However, youth groups set up the table affiliated with First Baptist NYC. I am talking to several potential leaders this week about this need. Doug is setting up in three weeks with a table of apologetics at Columbus Circle, focused on reaching Jewish people with the Gospel. (I used to work with Doug when I led the table of apologetics in Central Park).

Thankful for 4 new songs:

I am finally done. After staying up an entire night this week working on a lyric for a verse, all of the songs are finally done as of this morning. I am thankful to be recording them this week. Here is an example. It is a song called "Still":

When a goodbye comes too soon
When devestating news
Leaves me abandoned by a dream
He hasn't changed a bit
He's still the same Savior and Friend
With a plan so beautiful for me

For He's still
The God who cannot lie
And He's still
The Giver of new life
A Savior who wept
For me to be kept
In the Father's will
And He still
Forgives me of my sin
He remains
My Advocate and Friend
A Faithful Judge
The One who my soul loves
And always will

Yes, He's still
The Ruler of my days
The Shepherd of my heart
My Comforter of grace
A Shelter of love
When I've messed up
Where I can rest and heal
The God of Israel
Who walks me through the flame
For me to live to tell
The glory of His name
The Author of my faith
Unworthily to save
Me to love Him still

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. " Romans 8:28
