I was reminded of God's faithfulness to answered prayer this past Sunday. Our church had the opportunity to celebrate 8 people going public with their faith in Jesus! This was only possible because of God answering prayer. Let me explain.
- I can remember visiting Kendallville for the first time and eating at Burger King ten years ago. While eating a meal I can remember praying to God that I'd have the opportunity see Him work in a powerful way in this town! Throughout years of youth ministry and in the birth of Legacy Church God has answered this prayer.
- I can remember praying with Shawn for his dad's salvation for many years. Not only did his father get baptized on Sunday, BUT he wanted to be the first one! What a change of heart from someone who was hard hearted towards God a few years ago.
- I can remember praying for Abby a middle school girl who was attending some youth outreaches. Our family lost contact with her, but our youth pastor moved into a home right across the street before we launched Legacy Church. She started attending church and got baptized this past Sunday. God used seeds planted years ago.
- I can remember praying for many who went public through baptism over the course of years. God heard that prayer!
- I can remember praying regularly for boldness and courage in Jesus and that those who go to Legacy Church will have that same boldness. Many who got baptized overcame BIG fears. God can and will give you boldness if you ask Him!
Never give up hope. Your prayers echo throughout eternity! Praise God that He listens to the heart and cry of His people throughout all generations!
Here are just a few pictures of celebrating changed lives in Jesus and to much answered prayer!
