are asking you, our friends and relatives, to write out your testimony. How you were
saved. How the Lord called you to do something
particular. Acts 20:24 "… to
testify the gospel of the grace of God." We want to place these on our Web Site, because everyone leaving our soul winning booth gets several pieces of literature with our Web Site address presented. Some saved and unsaved go to the Site and we want them to see how the Lord saved others and is working in their lives. Since most of these people will not immediately get into a church, we feel this is an excellent opportunity to show them how the Lord operates with other Christians. For guidelines on how to compose a testimony see: www.AndresUSA.com/framefiles/testimoniesframe.html or go to www.AndresUSA.com, click on "How we were saved" in Left Menu, then in the Center Column, scroll down to "Send us your testimony" and pick through some ideas. Look at what others have written to get an idea of what we need. We will edit for spelling, grammar and composition. We have no idea how much good this will do this side of the Celestial City, but we are certain of several things: 1. It will not be a hindrance to anyone; 2. It will not hurt the saints to write out their testimony; 3. It may inspire others to search their memories to do the same; 4. It may encourage a recent convert to take great strides for Christ; 5. Having your testimony on paper, will give you a powerful tool to put in the hands of your friends and relatives. Promises for the Pilgrim "For
as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom 8:14
Hello from the Highways Thank you for receiving our prayer letter. We appreciate your thoughts towards this vital ministry and the prayers sent to heaven for us. Got some needed repairs done to our trailer. The electric brakes have 3 or more fuses. We finally found the one that was not working. Nothing more confusing than working on automotive electrical problems. Praise the Lord, He led us to the problem. We were able to get some signs made for the 3 Door boards, which can stay on the boards all the time. This is not huge, but little things, which can be eliminated, help a lot. We also made us some new ramps for the trailer tires to help level. This took a while but we got them made and waterproofed. Now we just have to remember not to leave them when departing. Words for Soul Winners and Warners “I remember you” While at a Flea Market, Steven walked up and told Pat, "I remember you, you showed me how to get to heaven at Fiesta." Pat said are you sure it was me?" Steven said, "Sure, I remember your name, it's Pat". They went on to talk for a while. Steven was very excited about being saved. Pat kidded with him, "Do you have any regrets?" He laughingly said, "Oh no." The Lord sends things like this to us to reinforce our faith. So many quit soul winning or try to get us to quit, because they are looking for results instead of just being obedient. While at a festival in Freer, Pat tried to give a man a tract and he said he got one in San Antonio, read it and was saved. The Lord is still in the saving business and he is still using tracts, soul winners and testimonies. God is staying faithful, we think we will, too. Victories in the Vineyard Highlight – Tom-Tom Festival, Yoakum, TX Dennis and Roberta Wallace worked this festival. Denny had a man sit down and hear the Gospel, prayed to be saved and was completing the Decision Card. Denny said that he used to have a boy in his scout troop by the same name. The man said, "Yeah, you were my Scout Master." He had recognized Denny right away. Both of them were miles from where they lived as well as where the troop had been. The Lord is capable to bring everything together. At just the right time and right place. Terrific Testimonies The following gleanings came from the back of Decision Cards of those making a profession of faith or receiving assurance. Jake 46 I asked the Lord to save me. Manuel 47 Just know I feel good. I am saved and I love it. Rebecca 22 I’ve been saved. Matthew 14 I got a change of heart. Mike 37 I was educated on being saved and learned God and His plan for each of us is not by what we say but by being saved by him and by what we believe in our hearts. By becoming a Born Again Christian. I have accepted Him as Saviour and my heart will let him help me live the way to honor him and help others understand through me. Lorimir 13 I have committed my life to the Lord. I also was born again. Points for Prayer and Praise Pray for the Mission "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest." More workers are needed. Work within an hour or two of your home or in India or Africa. We need people everywhere while the doors are open. Every Christian would want to be a witness, if they knew someone really wanted to hear. Everywhere we go, many people come to hear the Gospel. One person said, "We were not fishing for souls, they were jumping in the boat." Isa 55:6 "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:" Please Pray 100,000 tracts distributed Booth Fees Highway Safety Preaching Meetings Truck & Trailer Church Help Open Doors to Fairs 50 Events this year Repairs to trailer New Workers Health Support Praise the Lord Praise the Lord for our health.
