Week 3

This is the 3rd week of FAITH and our team is back together. The devil is still hard at work though. There is still sickness in some of our families, but luckily one of the daddy’s stepped in and everyone was able to show up. We started the class, as usual with “Team Time”. Since all my whole team has gone through the class before, we just usually recite the gospel presentation. It taken a few weeks for us to recommit the verses back to memory, but each of use did a great job this week.

During class we learned about the 5 types of visits: evangelistic, follow-up, baptism, ministry, and Opinion Poll. Brother Robert explained each type, what they are used for, and how they are to be conducted. Out of the 5, I believe our team really likes the evangelistic and Opinion Poll visits. My wife’s team, on the other hand, likes to do the ministry visits. See that’s what makes the body of Christ work.

Our Visit

We visited the same couple from week 1. It was a follow-up, one of the 5 types of visits. They have attended the church services each week since we visited. They even brought some guests with them last week. I didn’t have a chance to talk with them last Sunday. They slipped out before I could catch them.

When we arrived at their apartment, they we just setting down for dinner. We didn’t want to interrupt, so we tried to excuse ourselves, but ended up standing at the door talking. We probably stayed longer then we needed too, but they are really interesting people and easy to talk with.

We found that we had a lot of connecting points. Mike worked the power point type program at their last Church and we are in the process of raising money for a projector system. Leslie expressed her need of some help in Algebra and our Pastor’s Assistant has a Masters in math.

We invited them to Sunday school and to a bowling fellowship that is coming up in a couple weeks. We prayed with them and left before their food got any colder.

Prayer Request

Pray for the sickness that is going around in my team’s families, at Church, and at school. Pray that our visit tonight will have an impact for the kingdom of God. Pray for a person that I met on a past visit, that is going through some troubling times. Pray that they will get the help needed; and that God will help our team cross her path so we can show God’s love and protection to her. Pray that I will seek out people to witness to at times other than FAITH.
