More Bibles...

A lady came in yesterday to purchase some Bibles, in particular in English.  She shared that she works with two other ladies (Spanish speakers) and they reach out to troubled young ladies.  Recently, they went out to a facility and were informed that the young ladies that they would be ministering to were primarily English speakers.  They were therefore a little anxious, but prayed that God would help them.

When they met in the designated room, two young ladies approached them  and informed them that they were going to be their translators!  The ladies were full of joy and did their ministry.  During a time of prayer, the young ladies are usually prayed over.  On this occasion, the lady who bought the Bibles, expressed that the Holy Spirit directed her whom to pray for, in what order, and the words to pray; additionally, she also gave some words of knowledge to some of them.  The young ladies broke into tears as they were prayed over and also requested English Bibles at the closing of the meeting time.  The lady expressed that she had heard of such things, but never experienced them for herself before; she got "chills" from it, but acknowledged that it was the work of the Holy Spirit.  Praise God for His mighty work in this city through people who are open to work through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Go to BRIDGE...

We had a young woman in today who purchased materials for several members of her family who are facing various challenges in their lives.  She said she was directed in a dream to go to BRIDGE Ministries.  She did and was able to find the books that she needed to bless her family.  Wow...

Testimony

Here is a testimony from "Julie" of how God has used BRIDGE Ministries to impact her life:

For several years I had a deep desire to be discipled in God’s word, but I always felt inferior because I thought I needed to have a theological degree to study God’s Word.  Although I attended a Christian church, I wanted to learn how to study the Bible for myself.  When I found out about BRIDGE Ministries, I purchased some Bible study books and also received some free books.  Since I live outside of Rio Bravo, I do not come into Laredo often.  However, I now have a reason to make the trip because I want to continue my growth and transformation in Christ. 

I cannot contain my excitement about all that I am learning, and how God has transformed my heart.  My prayer now is to share with other women from the area and have a small group to teach them how they can grow in God through studying His Word.  Thank you for serving the Lord and impacting the community.

Pastor Pepe...

from Agape was in yesterday purchasing another 75 books on discipleship for his church in Nuevo Laredo.  Pastor Pepe is such an unassuming, dedicated servant of God, it's humbling just to be with him.  He used to own a "cantina" (bar) in Nuevo Laredo until he found true life in Jesus Christ.  Now his heart is to encourage and disciple his flock in the Lord so that they can go and encourage others.  Please pray that the Lord would continue to guide and provide for hermano Pepe.
