Rachel left a week ago, Monday night. Although we knew it was coming, and she already planned on going, the actual day came like a surprise! When The Holy Spirit decided it was time, He took her ever so swiftly to Canada to work with teens! She's excited to share what God has done and how He changed her life!
James ended up back here on the night Rachel left saying God wanted everything and God would provide! His wife. His kids. His home. All to God, with only the clothes on his back for now!
When James gave his life back to God, Matthew saw what he and Rachel had and gave his life back to God! Then Matthew's wife, Jessica accepted the Lord!
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls." - 1 Peter 1:3-9
