Testimony I heard today
 
I went to a nail salon this am for a manicure.I keep my nails nice and short but I like to have a professional manicure now and then.Anyway there is a place that I heard about from a friend that plays gospel music in the salon.So I went over today.The lady who did my manicure and I got to talking and she told me she goes to a Vietnamese Church downtown.
She told me her story and I was amazed at what she went through in
Vietnam for her faith.She said they would allow them to have Baptist type meetings but no meetings where anyone spoke in other tongues.She was caught having such a gathering in her home.The government put her picture on the tv and broadcast it to keep everyone from her.She said it only opened more doors to witness about her faith.People would ask her about why she was on tv and voila she told them about the goodness of Jesus.I am going to spend more time with this lady.She just did not want me to leave.I want to ask some of you that you would pray for the Lord to open a door for me into this part of the community.

My manicurist is from Vietnam, too....I think this is one profession where there are many from Vietnam. The ones I know are from North Vietnam and they are some very nice people!! I will pray about this, T.

I was very blessed with new souls today.I ran into a nurse I had not seen in ten years who I worked for.She and I shopped together for about forty five minutes.She is originally from Panama.That was so nice.While I was still in the same store(Steinmart) a lady came up to me and introduced herself.She began to tell me how she has really be going through it.Before I left she got paper and pen out and stuck her phone number in my hand.People are so needy.It was nice to have a day of meeting people for Jesus.I also want to
share that if I hang around with the saints alot and I know we all need fellowship I don't meet as many people as I do if I go out in public alone.
God is so good.

I have a testimony that God has shown me Grace and loves me. He is a never failing God and He's the best friend I ever had!.....He's been my Healer and my Rock. I can count on Him when there is no one else to count on. I LOVE JESUS CHRIST!!!....Please don't forget to pray for my Dad's healing and salvation and the same for my stepmother. Thanks.

Sis. Trouvere,

No doubt you were there "for such a time as this". Could it be

that some or many of those that have come to America have been

sent by God that they might be able to learn more, and perhaps

even help those on this end. We had a missionary from Mexico last

night that was such a blessing. We have a small, but fast growing

Spanish ministry in our church, with a Spanish pastor that came to

us about five years ago. He and his wife were trinitarian and they

wrestled for a while with the oneness and baptism in Jesus Name,

but God did a work in them. They have worked very closely with

the pastor and have been so faithful. God has proved Himself over

and over to them. They had been married twelve years and had no

children. He said the enemy really provoked him that he wasn't a

real man because he couldn't even have a child. His (catholic)sister,

who really, with others of his family, criticized him for having being

baptized in Jesus Name and becoming oneness, told him she prayed

and told God, " If_____ and _____'s God is the true God, let _____

get pregnant THIS year. Before the year was out ____ was pregnant

and they had a very healthy little boy, born in 2005. She told her

brother with tears in her eyes. Your God is the true God. She has never

come to church as yet, but ______ and _____ just had another beauti-

ful little son two weeks ago.

This Spanish pastor, and others attends all of our services but has a

Spanish service one night a week just for Spanish speaking people. Many

have obeyed the gospel under his ministry and continues to grow. God is

not willing that any should perish. We must do our part in telling them or

sending someone who can tell them the truth.

The missionary from Mexico told us last night that in the last 17 months

he has been deputizing in North America, he has seen over 700 people

receive the Holy Ghost. I told my husband that maybe he is a missionary

FROM Mexico, sent by God to be a missionary TO North America. God

knows!

Blessings,

Sis. Trouvere,

You have encouraged me to go ahead and make my

appointment for my pedicure and manicure my son and

wife gave me for Mother's Day. I have never had a pro-

fessional pedicure or manicure but.... they are Vietamese,

and who knows, they just may be waiting on me to fill in

their blanks or they just may have a word for me. God is

no respector of persons. He loves all the peoples of the

world. He wants us to love them too!

Blessings,

Falla39

Amen Sister Falla,

Amen!

I love that old song:

Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me,...I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him, all the way.

Lead on, Lord Jesus, have Your Will and

Your Way!!! It's the only intelligent way to

live!!! In Jesus Name!:hanky:hanky

Blessings,

Not just yet, but a lady who lives across the street from us is coming to church with us sometime this week...she's Catholic and has told my husband that she has not found what she's looking for yet.
