PRAISE GOD!

This evening Bella and I went for a walk in the woods to sight in my bow. Hunting season is getting close and the Lord provided a free hunting license and bow for me this year.

While we were in the woods, Bella got to see 4 deer and we watched them for a while. After a few minutes we returned to the bow and target for some more practice.

I was climbing a small hill when I saw two boys in the woods so I decided to wait on the target practice. Bella and I went out to meet the boys and we talked for a while. I invited them to shoot my bow a few times and our conversation quickly turned to spiritual things.

The boys were very interested in the scriptures so I invited them back to the house. After sharing several scriptures with them, both Nick and AJ saw they were sinners and in great danger of judgment by God.

The seventeen and eighteen year old boys bowed their heads and proclaimed Jesus Christ as Lord while calling on Him to forgive their sin. I praise the Lord for this divine appointment and I knew you would be excited about the news.
