Grace Hansen stated, “Don’t be afraid your life will end, be afraid it will never begin.”  Jesus said that when we lose our life for the Gospel’s sake, it is then that we truly find life.  When our focus moves from inward to outward, from self to others, from  the temporal to the eternal, life becomes invigorating and exciting!

WOW!  What an exciting month!  As always, the Lord is so faithful.  Once again, He has done supernatural and marvelous things (Psalm 118:23).

April 10, we again went to Southside Baptist Church in Ft. Pierce, Florida. We trained their group of summer missionaries who are going to Jamaica.  Several other believers from the church also joined in the training.  There were 18 who went out on the final day to practice what they had learned.  When they returned from sharing the Gospel, there were 11  people who prayed to receive Jesus.

We also had the joy of conducting a training at Kingsway Baptist Church in Orlando, and the Lord truly moved.  There were 29 of us that went out to share Jesus and practice the plan in a real life setting.  The group spoke to 91 people, shared the plan 61 times, and 46 people prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior.  There were eight people who had the joy of leading someone to Christ for the first time in their life. They were very encouraged.  It was awesome!

When not busy with the training sessions, we are preaching or teaching at the jail.  The jail opportunities are precious times.  The inmates look forward to our visits.  From training these men to be witnesses to hearing messages of repentance and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ, these men are very open.  We have been blessed by this opportunity.

Upcoming events:
          *  Training June 2-4 at Hope Baptist Church in Deltona
          *  Preparing radio programs we hope to air sometime this summer...waiting on God’s timing

          *  Financial needs met regarding the childrens' education
         
Because of your prayers, labors, and faithful giving this month, there were 93 who prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior (1 Corinthians 1:31).  Once again, we are grateful to all our partners for your love and support.  The Lord has encouraged us by knowing our friends and family stand with us.  Thank you and God's blessings as we persevere to reach the lost.
