Hello everyone.
Brit, mom, and I went to see dad this past weekend. The visit was good (well, as good as it can be). Dad shared with us some wonderful news. Dad became friends with a new guy when he (the friend) arrived a few months ago. His friend moved into dads room last week. Well, he and his friend got to talking (along with his friend and christian brother Esteban) about the Lord. After a while of talking, Esteban and dad lead their new friend to Christ!!! He said the sinners prayer and asked God to be his savior!! All of heaven rejoiced for this lost soul that now is saved! This is such wonderful news! Anyone who can find Hope in such a dark place is truly blessed! So in our prayers for dad today, lets try to remember our new brother in our prayers as well!! I'm sure the devil will be knocking on his door and trying to attack him now that his soul is no longer in danger of hell. We all know the devil will fight to bring him down and he will need prayers of encouragement and strength. Also, lets be sure to send dad a few extra prayers in that he will be able to lead many more lost souls in God's direction.
As far as everything else goes, all is the same. Dad has been gone now for 18 months with 40 months to go. It seems like time is passing so slowly for us and even more slowly for dad. However, time is passing. We just have to keep our faith and remember that God is in control.
Thank you all again for all the prayers you send. I cannot thank you enough.
If anyone needs any prayers, please let me know so that I can send up a message for you. There is power in numbers and power in prayer!
Keep Jeff Pierson in your prayers!!
Always,
Shekinah
That's wonderful! Prayers coming your way :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shekinah, I know this post was put up a few months ago by you, and maybe you think no one is paying attention and I'm not even sure if you're going to be writing here any more, but I do hope you will.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that this was a really nice story, and it is a reminder that Jesus was and often still is more often found in some of the darkest places rather than where it is most cheerful.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Thank you so much for your prayers!! They are very much needed. :)
ReplyDeletei remember you when i see this:
