A team member from the Monmouth team reflects on some of the events happening in the community.
Trusting in Jesus
During this past
year, a young boy, Ryan, began attending the Sunday night youth club.
He showed much interest in the Gospel, and also started to come to our
discipleship group. Through this he began to understand salvation
through grace as opposed to works. For awhile we were unsure of where
he was at in his faith – whether or not he had taken the step to
becoming a Christian. That is, until the visit by the Christian band
when he came to church for the first time.
One of my
team-mates had a chat with him and asked him what he would say if God
were to ask him why he should let him into heaven. He replied, “Because
I trust in Jesus.” He was sure of his salvation and of going to heaven
because of his faith. He now attends church regularly and is using his
talents and gifts by involving himself in the music time.
I especially praise God for this because there are not many youth attending church in Monmouth.
