God has been working in the lives of the believers; they are maturing and growing in the Lord. They are learning what it means to be the body of Christ, to bear one another’s burdens and have a servant’s heart. We are encouraged that several men have stepped up to help lead and teach from God’s word each week. Last Sunday we had an incredibly encouraging service. Jeff led the Lord’s Supper and did something new. He put a chair in the center of the group and said if anyone had sinned publically and wanted forgiveness could come and sit and be prayed over. Two ladies ended up confessing sins. One is a dear friend of mine who I have been praying for regularly. I was blessed that she wasn’t ashamed to confess out loud and I pray that she continues to walk in Christ. Then, one of the leaders washed everyone’s feet. What an incredible act of servant hood!
Today we had a wonderful church service followed by lunch (we do this once a month). One of the ladies of the church (who is a gifted evangelist) spontaneously told the story of Nicodemas and then gave the gospel presentation. Later she mentioned to Jeff that she did this because there were at least 3 people in the group that she knew had never accepted Christ and she didn’t want to opportunity for them to hear pass her by.
