God is Moving in Saxton and Broad Top Cities
A Harvest report from Pastor Steve Oberman .... Yesterday, I was with a friend (Sam) and his family whose uncle was passing away... Sam is a friend and brother from the Broad Top City COG...... Sam had three prayer requests To see his uncle receive Jesus.... To be with him when he went home to be with the Lord and to see his sister come to know Christ.
A month ago Sam's uncle prayed to receive Christ..... Request #1 answered.... Yesterday Sam was with his uncle a saw him peacefully go home to be with Jesus.... Request #2 answered... Sam has been planting seeds and loving his sister.... gave her a bible continualy encouraged her.... and he LOVED.... LOVED.... LOVED her by being the best brother he could be for Jesus...... Yesterday I prayed with the family and simply let Jesus show me the best way to love them..... and Sam and I left the house..... We were standing in the front yard and his sister came out..... She looked at Sam and kind of shyly said, "Sam did you talk to him about what I want to do?" Sam looked at me and I looked at his sister and said DO you want to get saved? She said "Yes I do" I tolf her "you can get saved right now would you like that" and she said yes.
With Sam and the presence of the Holy Spirit.... Sam's sister prayed and asked Jesus to be her Lord........ Sam's prayer request #3 answered......
As a pastor there is no greater joy then to watch a friend and a brother see the harvest of prayer and love.... In the midst of pain and grief God brought genuine joy.... From Heaven's relm a Saint was welcomed home and the angels were celebrating a daughter who was lost coming home as well.... To Sam I say well done.....
From a pastor's "heart".... Father.... You are awesome.... Thank you for letting me see this and experience this great adventure......
You know with the Indiana Jones movie coming out.... Indiana was always searching for a great lost treasure..... part of his misfortune was having some "bad" guy take it from him..... WE too are searching for lost treasure... the great beauty is this.....what is found can never be taken.....
The adventures of God's Evangelists rides on.... not into a sunset.... but onward to glorious eternity..... Come on church it's time to saddle up....and ride.......
Pastor Steve
