Praise report from last night

Hello soldiers, friends, and fellow followers of Jesus,

Just a quick update - if you live in Homer, or go to the corps, but are missing out on Wednesday night meal and bible study, you are really missing out on a great time of fellowship and time focusing on the things of God.

We are currently going through a book by Mark Cahill "one thing you can't do in heaven".

Of the praise reports and highlights we had a corps member return from hip surgery, with a walker, a little slower than usual, but didn't want to miss out on the food, fellowship, and time in the word.

We also had one corps member admit that he finally realizes that the only time we loose when sharing our faith is when we say nothing - otherwise it's a win, win, win situation (we either plant a seed, see someone saved, or are rejected for the cause of Christ - 1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.)

My 10 year old daughter realized that when we share the gospel and are mistreated we are in the company of the prophets of God!

Luke 6:22-23 Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.

Another corps member began to realize that it's not that we "got" to witness, but that we "get" to witness.

As I will be out next week we had a young man offer to lead in my absence (his first time stepping out in faith to "lead" a study) -God is really moving in his life.

All in all a great night, we ended sharing prayer for one another around the table and talking about opportunities to share our faith.

If you live in the Homer area - or are a church member missing out - make time to come by for a meal and study.

God is good all the time.

Live holy, preach Jesus!
