Happy Fourth of July!!!! and a PRAISE!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!!   We are blessed to live in this country and although there is much that is not good.... there is a lot of freedoms that we have that are not common in other countries.  Remember Youcef in Iran.  No news yet of release or execution.  May God bring many Muslims to Himself in Youcef's life or his death.  Youcef has life eternal which is freedom here on earth and in heaven.

Also wanted to tell you a great story of Freedom that happened this year.  Cathie Malcom works in the bookstore first service.  One day before she went to church she shared with us that she was going to do One to One with her personal trainer at the LR Athletic Club. She asked us to pray  for her and the young man.  She has been keeping us all updated.... and shared a few weeks ago that he had come to Christ!!!!!   Well, yesterday she brought him to church.   When she asked him to come he told her he had never been to church before... and asked what does it cost to go there.  Hmmm!!!!  they are out there, Friends... those who do not know Christ but also don't know much about church.  Well, he came with his little son.  Guess what?   No, FSK... so the cute little guy went to church with them with a little truck that Cathie had brought for him.  He sat quietly while his Daddy got to hear the message.  Think of the impact the message by Bill must have made on him as a father.    Praise God!!!!!   Freedom in Christ!!!!  That is a freedom that we all have and that NO ONE can take away from us.  Let's rejoice in that today.  He has liberated the captives to live for Him.  Continue to pray for the young man...  we met him but we have forgotten his name, but God hasn't forgotten it!!!  It is written in the book of life.
