eNewsLetter--June 6, 2011

Good afternoon,

Since the last time I wrote you, not much has changed. Oh, don’t worry. I am rejoicing in the not much change. The Lord has permitted me to continue to still go out during the week and share the Gospel with total strangers at their front doors, through the means of house-doorknocking. Brother Ken has been so faithful in going with me each week for many months now, and we litterally have seen incredible miracles right before our eyes at the front door steps of strangers. For example, we met a young man named Devon. We knocked on his door, I introduced ourselves and felt real impressed by the Holy Spirit to just quickly ask him, “Devon, if you were to die soon, would you go to Heaven or Hell?” He stared at us, and responded, “No way! I was just talking to someone about that a few minutes ago.  I don’t know but I want to know.” Let’s just say that God gave us an incredible time with him. We have followed up with a few times. He is eager to learn more Bible, but the devil sure has a stronghold in his life. Please pray for him that Devon. He’s an awsome 18 year old but just has some choices to make.

I have many other examples as the such, but I sure can imagine the wonderful stories you could tell me too of the times when you have decided to believe and act upon what God was telling you through His soft voice. I only wish we, or I, would just obey Christ whispers. He sure has the best for others and for ourselves too. We just need to continue to look and focus on Jesus Christ each second of our lives. He is the One who died and rose from the grave for us sins. Hallelujah!

Ooops! I just get excited many times talking about the Lord Jesus. He is so wonderful.

God is still permitting me to go into the MCC and Donovan prisons here each week. So many wonderful things happen in the prison each week. It is a highlight of my week when I get to go into the prisons and talk to men. Please pray for these men. Many are finally realizing important practical Biblical truths that they need to apply to their lives. Unfortunately, the strong influence of the gang life loudly screams at them. Many people do not realize this, but many national problems, such as drugs, across the midwest USA steam from the gang roots here in southern California.

On another completely different note, I just wanted to share something unique happening in my life. A few people in the past have seen my art and designs that I make out of colored pencils and linen card-stock paper—or else, greeting cards. People have purchased them in the past. A little over a month ago it occurred to me why not use my God given ability for the Lord’s honor and to encourage others in a wider degree? So, I designed a simple website, www.LifeGreetingCards.org , where people or merchants can view all of my designs and even purchase artisticly designed greeting cards. The cards are blank inside unless a customer requests something written inside. On the back is my logo and a very short words of encouragement.

If you ever need a greeting card for any occasion, I welcome you to check out my many designs and purchase cards from me. I have designed a simple website, www.LifeGreetingCards.org .

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a wonderful day.
