Sunday, December 13th, I got to church at 8am. I was surprised to see that so many helpers had gotten to the church at 6 and 7am, ready to serve. I worked security in the kid’s church. I was very amused watching 2 kids dance and compete for the bike give-a-way. One kid was doing a worm dance and the other was spinning on his head. There were hundreds of children packed out in the place and dozens of Hispanic children for the day of our advertised Spanish toy outreach. The day really ministered to me that what we were doing and all of our work was so real to the children. When the children were coming into the door to children’s church, they were solemn, shy and emotionless. After the service and the packed out altar call, I noticed that the children were lit up and on fire. They were showing so much more love to one another and had so much more energy. They were high-fiving me on the way out the door and there were special glows in their faces, as they were lit with enthusiasm and peace. I was also able to help in moving tables over at the Food Ministry and also using the forklift to move the remaining toys inside. I even got to dance to Latino music outside of the bus ministry and maintain the energy and excitement of all of our kids and parents. The love of God and the goodness of God is so real. And the power of God overcomes and breaks all strongholds. I am a living testimony of that. And I see it every Sunday at the River. The church preaches the Word of the Living God and demonstrates the love and the goodness of God week after week. I am privileged to be a part of this ministry and to see the power of God fall in every service and do miracles. December 20th is surely going to be another great harvest for the River family. I look forward to all the Lord is going to do.

Went out with Sue to Harbor Lights–god had given me (#8) & God used me to say the prayer of salvation to 9 people! My son led two people to the Lord & later thanked me for making him do this–he realized how fulfilling it was. It was awesome! He was encouraged & even invited one to play basketball @ church on Sunday–they were in the elevator.

I went out soul-winning today. At first I was really discouraged because a lot of people rejected the Gospel. Outside of a gas staion, there was a girl about 20 years old. I read the script to her and she accepted Jesus into her heart. She was sitting in her car while I ministered to her. After I was done, she got out of her car and hugged me. It was awesome. I really felt like she meant it. It really touched my heart. My soul-goal was seven; I brought nine to the Lord. This was my first time soul-winning and I am 15 years old.
Rodney Howard Browne explains that even in human relations, you can fail if you do not work on the relationship and if you leave everything up to the other person.

Within 1 hr. & 15mins. 67 souls were saved. We did the “Bus Stop jump on”, and preached the gospel. The power of God searched out this crtin man. I preach the Gospel, and he began repeating the Salvation prayer with great joy. We got to the part that said “I’m fogiven”. He said: “I don’t know if God would forgive me. (I kille so many people. Iwas in the army.) I re-assured him that he was forgiven. He had tears streaming down him face . While preaching the Gospel on the bus there he was Smiling. One man reached in his pocket and gave me some money. He said “Just keep preaching the Gospel.

I love to see the Holy Spirit work; at His leading He allowed me to minister the Baptism of his power with evidence in speaking in tounges to two homeless Spanish guys which are now my brothers in Christ. Overwhelming thanks was given for being on fire #5 plus some more for God. A mother and her four kids wraped up my day when they gave me a Big Big smile with thanks and a promise to double my heavenly account with her heavenly account for the lost!!! P.S. Also two young teens or young adults heard the script but did not accept esus as their saviour from an prior worker. I was willing and obedient to the call of God and lead them in the prayer of salvation, their excitement increased my joy in the Lord and his works!! Thanks
