Say So---

Say So—
“And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”—Acts 2.47

Yesterday, we received about eighty new friends into the family; our family—the family of Christ. The church. All these kids stood up at “Say-So” on the last day of camp and gave their name, where they are from, and proclaimed, “this week I believed and gave my heart to Jesus.”

The church increased in number yesterday. Kids who have been wandering in the desert wastelands have been called home. The hungry have eaten their fill and the thirsty have been showered with living water. Souls have been satisfied and filled with good things.

About sixty of the eighty who began their life in Christ this week were Latino kids from inner-city Dallas. Wow! Thank you Jesus for the new people you brought into the kingdom; into our family. We’ll be together one day in the kingdom of God, at the great banquet. And perhaps, we’ll see each other and think back to that summer at Windy Gap in 2009. Greeting one another, we’ll shout, “Remember! Don’t you remember! That summer we met Jesus!?”

What an unspeakable blessing it is to have front row seats to all of this!!

“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.” Psalm 107:1-3
