FacebookNicaragua Day 5
May 20
John Hulsey and Bill Kersh with Roger at Crusade who they led to the Lord at a fiesta.
Over 200 Adults responded to the Invitation Wednesday Night with Ronnie Hill preaching.
Another great day comes to an end. I know that many are not interested in numbers, but these numbers represent many things. First they represent a real living person who will live eternally some where. Also, great measure has been taken in being conservative with the numbers. One example where I saw that was in a school where I shared the gospel and probably over 50 boys stood to their feet saying they had just trusted Christ. Mike Hulsey recorded 26 POF based on the age and how they listened and responded during the message. So what are the numbers. . .over 2500 POF with over 2000 of those coming outside the crusade itself. The numbers also reflect the responsiveness of the people. I can see it in the willingness of the Nicaraguan people to listen to the gospel and how many respond. I have also noticed how many people really believe in a works based salvation. This great deception of the enemy misleads many into a false and empty hope trying to be good enough. This devilish doctrine robs God of His glory.
I have been very proud of our team. They have all done exceedingly well in sharing Christ. Others have noticed how well they share their testimonies. Linda Kersh got to share her testimony at a women’s conference today where 5 women prayed to receive Christ. Bill Kersh shared his testimony during the crusade tonight. One local pastor was so moved by Bill’s testimony that he wants Bill to share his testimony on the radio tomorrow and it will be played 5 times next week. John Hurley shared a great devotion this morning. John has become a flaming evangelist this week. We have had a good time and laughed a lot. The big question is whether the pastor will participate in the drama tomorrow, the last day. He has avoided serving his time as either “Sin box Sally, a dancer, a drunk or a strong man”. I am sure that those of you who know me well can’t imagine why I haven’t jumped on these acting roles. The peer pressure is mounting since I am the only one who has not been in the drama. I have managed to do street witnessing instead. We all miss our families. I especially do–I have a lot more to miss.
I need to also give a big cudo to Mike and Sherry Hulsey. They have done a great job. They have handled a logistical nightmare with exceptional skill and grace. They have recruited an awesome team of nationals to serve as translators, drivers, nursemaids, and friends to we Americans. They have a heart for this work and a love for these people. Their focus is clearly on evangelism. We are blessed greatly to have them as members of FBC Rogers. I look forward to on going partnership with them in sharing ministry in one of the great harvest fields in the world. Getting late and have a busy day tomorrow. Until Next time. . .
