Disciplemaking: Why You shouldn't Grow Weary
"Then Jesus told them this parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." -Luke 18:1
I got this note via Facebook the other day. The only explanation for something like this is God. I offer it here (by permission of the author) to encourage anyone who is investing his/her life in the next generations (including parents and grandparents).
Dear Bill,
WOW! I am completely floored at how GOD has had me come across your path!!!! You may not remember me, but boy do I remember you! I was only 12 years old when you helped lead me to the LORD at an AWANA group meeting in Streator back in April of 1987!
Over 23 years has passed and I have not yet and never will forget you. I went on to graduate from Judson University as a Youth Ministry major. I got married and now have 4 beautiful children of my own. God has blessed my family and I know the Holy Spirit is alive in my family today! My wife and I attend church in northern, IL, and love it. We are excited because GOD has us on a wild journey in our faith and we are sold out to HIM-just in AWE of His mighty power!
I just want to tell you how thankful I am to you for surrendering your life to Christ many years ago! I know GOD always has His plans for us and I am forever grateful that you listened loud and clear. Thank you brother!
Dan Estes

"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
