We are one week into the journey, eight plays behind us and nine more to go. God has been moving, and touching lives, from young to old. We have been desiring to see God do more in the lives of the congregations that we minister to and have been praying even more for God to use us in a mighty way.
Tonight seemed to be an answer to prayer. The Lord dealt with me last night in prayer to add a few things to the play. We were very nervous. As we got started tonight, however, we knew that the Lord was going to do something great. So we simply let Him have His way and the results were grand.
The main focus of every play, of course, is the altar call. Tonight as it began, we knew it was going to be different. As we were obedient to the Lord, He took over. An expectant mother, a teenage girl and an older woman stepped from the darkness and came forward to pray. What excitement came over me as I stood there praying with these ladies. This is what I longed to see, as tears flowed down each of their faces, and prayers were offered to the Lord for help and restoration.
After the service, person after person would step up and shake our hand and tell us how much the play meant to them. One lady in particular came to me then to Bro. Chris, with tears, telling how she felt the Lord so strong even before we really got started. She declared how touched she was by the burden we had in performing this play.
God is so good, we so many times want to see the altars flooded with people and get discouraged when it doesn’t happen. Yet so far on this trip I have seen a drunk homeless man pray and say that my character told his life story, a husband and wife pray for marriage restoration, children weeping at an altar, teenagers broken before the Lord, hearts in a variety of stages in Christianity, all come before the Lord and call on Him.
I know that God has a purpose for each service and each character and situation that we talk about.
I am looking forward to more lives being changed even if it is one at a time. One person told us that we would never know the impact this play has truly made on people. That may be true, I am so thankful that it is.
One thing about the ministry is that it doesn’t only change others; it changes you, too. An elderly saint of God told me tonight that she has lost most of her eyesight and cannot do much for the Lord, but one thing she did get from tonight and that was how she could pray for more people that needed God. How true! You definitely see people in a new light as you pray to feel like your character. There is still so much work left to do. Please pray for us as we continue on.
