A Life Giving God!

The next team I am working with comes in tomorrow. Well, technically two of the team members came today, but the other five come in tomorrow. Then the work begins. We will be visiting communities and schools telling people about Jesus and sending them home with rice, beans and salt. Food to satsify them for a life and food to satisty them for at least a few days, if not the whole week =). What a privilege to be able to serve God through serving his people. This is your privilege too because without your prayers and financial support I wouldn't be in El Salvador and with Convoy of Hope today! Live Blessed! Thank you for your prayers and financial support! As work begins with this team please continue prayers of safety, prayers of health, prayers that all the details will fall into place and prayers that we will be used by God!

I am currently reading through Romans. To be honest Romans is a little harder to get through. I also feel the need to read each chapter a couple of time just to grasp part of what Paul is writing. Romans is just jammed pack. I read Chapter 5 today and part of it just really stood out to me. I even put it on my facebook because I just loved the message version, so much. I have written Romans 5:17-19 below:

"If death got the upper hand through one man's wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?

Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right."

Thank you God for sending your Son - to give us life, for setting things right and for saving us!

Let it be a reminder for us to say "yes" to God and not to say "no". A reminder to follow Christ's example and not deaths!

Live in Christ!
