Brothers Receiving Christ
Jude and I showed up that night to meet up with Jessie and Josue. I had just given Jesse a Bible the night before and he had read 16 chapters from the book of John overnight.

Josue – I am never home
“I am never at home, so it is surprising that you talked to me today.” It was rare to catch him at home and outside, but this is right where God wanted him to be.
Salvador – Pray for a better year next year.
December 2022 Conversation. Salvador is the Spanish word for Savior. Jakin and I were knocking on doors last evening and we met a young man named Salvador. We first asked if we could pray for him and he said, “yes, please pray for a better year next year.” This man spoke English so God allowed me to share more than I normally share with Spanish conversations. I started asking…

David – I was living under a rock
I was living under a rock… Bekah and I (Jude) knock on a door, and a teenage girl answers the door, we pray for her. By the end of the conversation, there is another person there, a guy named David. He is the same age as I am (16 years old), and we had a great conversation. He is a Christian, and he is the only Christian in his family. His parents do not like it when he shares his faith, and he was very happy to…
Just Show Up – Simple Obedience
Just show up… Many times, in the past I have battled my sinful flesh when it comes to simple obedience. I remember times where I was just off and my body was telling me, “You need to take a break, you need to rest, you have had a long day, take time for yourself, you don’t need to go to that Bible study tonight.” Am I alone in this? Sometimes I…
Rafael – I’m Not Following God….
I (Ryan) met a young man named Rafael. He admitted he was a backslider. The term means that you used to go to church and you use to pursue God and a life of faith. But now you are not. I encouraged him and implored him to…
You Just Don’t Wake Up and Decide to Do This…
Jakin and I (Ryan) were paired up this night. Typically, I am solo, with the rest of the family in pairs. Seven family members don’t divide evenly by two! Laura was out of town and two of our kids were at a church youth group. I have had a reputation for getting in to LONG conversations. Jakin jokingly said it would be neat to…
Hazel – Bad Dreams
Grace and I (Jakin) met a Catholic man named Hazel. He told us he isn’t very involved in his faith. I was able to encourage him to spend time with God by reading the Bible. I told him that most people would rather spend time watching something on TV or doing…
Rita – Can you pray a blessing for my car?
As we drove onto a street to park, a woman named Rita was in her drive way with her husband. She was looking at us as we parked, so I (Ryan) waved. My family usually assigns me the task of speaking to anyone outside. I tend to do really well at just walking up and starting…
