A Harvest

[Sister Alvear]

I just have a few minutes...tonight I am going to go teach a lesson on baptism in Jesus Name to a new convert. Today I wanted to post on how important it is to follow your call.
In 40 years of mission work many times I could have turned back, went home, got a good job here or whatever but the call of God is a strong force.

For me it has been a lifetime!
This couple was one of the first couples that I helped win to the Lord. They are in their late 60`s still going strong.

37 years ago I walked into a bar and invited at that time a young boy to our services under a tree in his village...today he is an evangelist.

so dear ones do not become weary in well doing...you will reap in due season...had it not been for some of these old soldiers there would be no new ones today..

you can go to the picture thread I plan on putting some new pictures late tonight...however just wanted to put a few here to encourage you young workers...sometimes it seems so easy to give up even the best thing to do... but we must follow the example of our leader who prayer for strength when all human strength was gone...
