Hearing God's Voice

We came to South Central Los Angeles to plant churches.  At the core of this ministry is raising people up that come from the darkness and slavery of a hopeless life and teaching them to hear and believe in the one true God.  Paul said, “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17). 

Just last month we baptized Nancy.  She was invited to church by her friends (Erika and Nance) and quickly came to a saving faith making Jesus Lord of her life.  It was God who called her to Himself and to be baptized as she read her Bible and took in what was happening at our church. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).  Nancy is a perfect example of somebody that is following Jesus. God is speaking and more and more people in our church and community are listening and obeying.

Nancy was invited to church by her friend Nance, when Nance started a small group. Over the last year Nancy has accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior and this last month we were able to baptize her. It was exciting to have some of the young women in her small group pray for her after she shared her testimony and declared that she was going to live for Jesus forever.

Erika and Nance are also listening to God’s voice.  A couple months ago when the other World Impact missionaries transitioned off of our church planting team Erika and Nance, feeling lead by God, took the initiative to step-up and together take the lead of the youth ministry at our church.  Nance is also helping in many other responsibilities at the church that were previously done by missionaries causing her great personal and spiritual growth. These three ladies have been growing in leadership and not only catching the vision, but sharing the vision with others. 

Please join us in prayer this month for Nancy, Erika and Nance as they continue to walk out the call on their life in our growing church.  Pray that they would be quick to listen and obey the Word of God and effective in their ministry to others.  Pray protection for them and our family from the schemes of the enemy. 

Along with other ministry events we have planned this month, please be in prayer especially for our marriage conference and evangelistic outreach in the park. 

Thank you so much for your prayers and for partnering with us so that more people may hear and know the voice of Jesus – and more churches may be planted.
