One Stormy Night!
Tonight was an awesome night in Monte Rodondo. My friends Pablo, Freddie, and myself headed out to Monte Rodondo to lead the church service tonight. While on our way we had severe storms and high winds. When we got to the church we realized that the power was out and the total community was covered in darkness. We opened the church and sat there discussing if we could possibly have service since we had no electricity. As we looked around the church we found a rechargeable florescent light in the corner and Gladys showed up with some candles. So we made the decision to continue with the service. The next concern was anybody going to come during the outage. To our amazement people started walking through the door. We had around 50 people show up and the service started. We did praise and worship, but when it came time to give the message the florescent light died on us. As Pablo (translator) and myself stood up to deliver the message the power came back on. As a result of a church being faithful God provided everything we needed and two people came to know the Lord as their personal Savior. God truly is faithful no matter the circumstances and we want to give Him all the Glory in what he accomplished tonight. Please be in prayer for our new brother and sister in Christ and please pray for Lori as she is sick with the flu.

Hi guys! Richie, you don't know me but I've spoke to Lori on the phone. (She may not remember.) I am a Hickory Grove Baptist Church member and have been on several teams out there. I have been keeping you guys in my prayers. It was awesome reading your recent post about how 2 people accepted Jesus as their savior in the midst of uncertain circumstances. Please tell Lori I hope she feels better soon!
Will do! Thanks for your prayers.
