As seen on this board, Stephen last week taught from John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8-9. Both these verses surround the important question: What must we do to enter heaven?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The day, June 5, started out beautiful, but by 4pm the clouds had moved in and the rain started to come down in sheets.\u00a0 I, Stephen, told Jonathan that we should pray and ask God to stop the rain because the Bible study was going to start at 7pm.\u00a0 Jonathan prayed and then I did too.\u00a0 Within an hour, in God\u2019s timing, the rain ceased, leaving behind muddy roads and paths. We knew this would discourage many Agutaynens and they wouldn\u2019t come to the teaching.\u00a0 However, 25 Agutaynens trekked their way to the meeting place at 7 pm.\u00a0 Together, Stephen and Manfred, proclaimed the death of Jesus Christ, and that His death is sufficient to pay for all our sins.\u00a0 Like most meetings, most the Agutaynens nod in agreement when we read the Bible and share a truth that is against their traditions.\u00a0 However, many of these Agutaynens will then go home and continue in their old ways.\u00a0 They appear to agree with the Word of God during the meeting, but then practice something else at home.\u00a0 Their \u201cyes\u201d becomes a \u201cno\u201d very quickly.\u00a0 It is hard for us to know their hearts.\u00a0 Please pray for us for boldness and for discernment.\u00a0 Please pray that their \u201cyes\u201d would be \u201cyes\u201d indeed in word and in action.\u00a0 Tomorrow, June 12, Manfred will have a good review of last week\u2019s lesson in hopes that many will come that were absent last week.\u00a0 Then Stephen will teach concerning the burial and resurrection of Jesus.\u00a0 Please pray that these Agutaynens will come, accept the Truth for themselves, and lives that proclaim YES.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
