Mission Trip (33)

Mission trip was an unforgettable experience, a very big faith builder. There are to many stories to share here so I’m going to share just one. It was my day to preach and we were going to be gone on an outing to the open market. So I did as much as I could for my sermon. I edited it on paper the day before and as soon as we got in the car after Andrew’s sermon I started working on it on the computer. I still didn’t have the appeal quite done when we got back to the hotel after the outing. However we got back so late that I only had enough time to shower, get ready and get in the car. I worked on the rest of my appeal in the car. Before the sermon Andrew, Mrs. Jaeger, and I went outside and prayed. I asked God to use me and to take my mouth and make it work. I was scared, this was our first decision card night, and I didn’t know how they were going to respond. I started in on the appeal, I don’t quite remember what was said, but God worked! I had not time to practice the sermon and God just took what I had been able to do. Eight people came up to the front and gave their lives to Jesus for the first time! It was an amazing feeling to have been used by God. I can only describe it as a God thing, because I had nothing to do with it.
