Dear Friends,
I thank God for how He answers prayers and causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. While we were hindered by constraints placed upon our first amendment rights, the gospel still went out with power.
We saw many people come to Christ. As it happened, our zone where we were allowed to hand out literature was outside the festival and inside by the Ferris wheel. At first they said it would be somewhere else at the festival and then they changed it to the end by the Ferris wheel. This was supposed to be a worse location for us since it was further away from the main happenings.
One brother shared the Gospel with someone in line for the Ferris wheel. That person's told the bearer of good news that he was standing in line for the Ferris wheel with plans of jumping off to commit suicide when he reached the top of the wheel. God's promises in the Bible gave the man new joy and courage to face this life and more importantly saved his soul from a greater plunge into a Christless eternity in Hell. So many were excited to get a copy of the gospel in a language they could read, or to see the Jesus film in their mother tongue. Many people live their whole life wondering if and how they can be forgiven. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father but by me" He also said "Him who comes to me I will in no wise cast out" We thank God for a great salvation and join with the angels in heaven rejoicing in the souls of men and women who now trust Christ's payment on the cross for their sins. Thank you all for praying for us.
On an unexpected hold over a young Muslim lady saw me carrying the Quran and asked me questions about the Bible, the Quran and Hadith for 30 minutes. She said she wants to know the truth and follow the true God. One of the sisters gave her a copy of some of the literature we were handing out. She wants to know more and asked for more information.
God bless you,
Walt
