God blessed us with the opportunity to share with these people at the mall. Please help us pray for them.
Steven and David - 2 Marine recruiters who admitted that the thought of life after death have been on their minds. Steven grew up Catholic and David didn't have much of a religious background. They said that "being a good person" and "doing good stuff" will hopefully get them into heaven. After presenting the law, they realized that they were "not good" and headed for hell. Steven became really convicted and was concerned. We shared the gospel and told them that there is nothing we can do to save ourselves. Christ did it all. We then talked some more about repentance and faith alone in Christ. They appreciated us talking with them. We encouraged them to read their bibles starting with the book of John. We prayed together and they left with gospel tracts.
Anthony and Irma - Irma(mom) walked off but Anthony stayed. Anthony had been released from prison the day before on theft charges. He admitted to being really familiar with the court scene and with the sentencing from a judge. He wanted to know more! He didn't know how to keep out of hell. He wanted to know the good news. We shared with him how he can be transformed and become a child of God. He wants a new life and admitted that our meeting was no coincidence. We gave him a bible and asked him to read the book of John. He said he would and also said that there is nothing keeping him from surrendering to Christ. We encouraged him and prayed together, for him and for his mom.
Juan and Juan - 2 friends that were hanging out at the mall. Raised catholic, they said that "being a good person" will get them into heaven. We went through some commandments since they agreed that the 10 commandments is the standard of goodness. After failing terribly they realized that they were in trouble. We shared the true gospel of Jesus. They became humbled and said that they want to follow Christ. We gave them some bibles and gospel tracts. They had never read from the bible but were going to start with the book of John. They asked us for prayer - for their families and for their salvation. They were so thankful, they also admitted that our meeting was not random. They were on their way to a store but for some reason they walked the other way and there we were.
We tried talking to 2 women who were really bold in their affection for each other. They didn't want to talk to us but thought the million dollar bills were cool and accepted them. Hope they read them.
Thank you for your prayers,
--Annette, Mary, and Adella.
