More from Genesis

Yesterday morning was really encouraging at church. My blogging cylinders are all firing today so I wanted to share a few words about that with you.

Generally Baptist churches in Poland don't give alter calls at the end of services. Actually I've never seen that happen before. But yesterday, Mateo ended our service by saying that if people wanted to be prayed for...or if they wanted to speak with someone about what God was doing in their lives they could come forward and talk with one of the guys on the side. I was really excited to see three folks come up: one young boy with his dad, a young woman (I think college age), and another young man (I believe he's still in high school).

In the states we see people "come forward" often, although we wish it was more frequent than it is. But it happens...and we love to see it. But here, really I'm serious, I've never seen it happen. So, to see those folks head over to speak with someone...tears flowing...is HUGE! I don't yet know if they made decisions to become disciples of Christ (remember that discussion?), asked for prayer, or whatever. But it is extremely apparent, as I said a few posts ago, that God is moving in a big way in our group.

I'm thankful to God for the times when we can see His movement in such visible ways. And I'm thankful to so many of you who have been continuously praying for that movement to occur.
