At Clinton, OK
Declan was my only student on Friday. He was there to be one of my helpers but God had other plans. It is true that He will let us know what to do if we are faithful. God had me to train Declan to be a missionary using the wordless book. Declan had received Jesus as his savior sometime before but he needed assurance. That is much of what is to be done because Satan lies to us and tells us that it's not real. Declan was so happy when he realized that his name was written in the book of life. We talk about that in the wordless book on the gold page.
I presented the story of Meduga. It is a favorite story that has the wordless book in it. As we talked about the colors and what they mean, Declan admitted his sin and that he felt so guilty. He is 10 years old. He said he had already asked Jesus to forgive him and to come into his heart. Hearing that, I assured him that his sin was forgiven and his name was written I'm the book of life. So we began talking about witnessing (green). He was very interested in witnessing to his friends. I showed him how to use the wordless book and the First Step tracts. I gave him some wordless books, bracelets and other tools for his ministry. I also gave him the wordless book visualized so that he could prepare to use it in his ministry some day. He also got an embroidered "Wordless Book Bag" to carry his materials in as well as a "Jesus Loves Me bag" for his witnessing tools. His grandmother said he was already studying the wordless book lessons that afternoon. It was wonderful to see a 10 year old so excited to become a witness and to start his new life with the Lord Jesus. This one event made the trip worth it all for me. Of course, other great things happened as well which I'll get around to telling you about.
