Prayer Works!

Are you willing to pour out your life for the Lord and allow Him to use you to bless others? The Union Baptist Association in Charlotte, North Carolina, has done just that for many years. Team leader, Henry Funderburk, from UBA, brought with him representatives from three churches to join national Baptists and field personnel to evangelize an area near Cuatitlan Izcalli, Mexico. They have worked with a church there since the 1990's.

The IMB field missionary shares:

"The project was a blessing for everyone to get together and allow the Lord to use them so successfully. Not only did they distribute over 2600 Gospels, but also the teams intentionally sought out opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and look for men and women of peace.

Henry covered all the bases and did an incredible job using his Spanish as well. He encouraged his team and the national volunteers to use the Evangi-Cube. This was the first time I had seen this used with a group and I witnessed some incredible receptivity to the Gospel with the use of this cube. The group was wonderful and did an outstanding job of using the power of prayer. As one team member witnessed, another prayed and 'held the sword.'

Personally, this would have to be a 'top three' in what we have experienced. It was truly beautiful to see these churches working together sharing the Good news of Jesus Christ. Each team member took his or her job seriously. It was a beautiful week.

Funderburk's team met with a family who had experienced the loss of a son that same week. The team was able to minister to this family by repeatedly taking the time to visit and pray.

In another occasion, Aldo, from the national Baptist church, met with a friend (Mauricio) who he had not seen in a while. We prayed as a team for Mauricio and his family because Aldo had set up an appointment to meet with him. As it turned out, Mauricio and his family received Christ that evening! On one opportunity, a whole family came to know the Lord, which was a blessing for all. The Lord brought these teams together at the right time to minister and share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I realize that only God knows those who are truly His, but from what I saw this week, I am truly encouraged and blessed from what I witnessed. Prayer works!"

Thank you for praying for those who have never heard the Truth, and for considering giving of your time to come to the American Peoples Affinity to work with our field personnel.
