Another Soul Won

Today is Jan. 31st. 2010.  We had 82 today at my little country church.  I preached a message entitled Satan's Deception.  The preaching service had ended and the communion time had ended.  My brother was up making announcements and going over the financial report for Jan.  I was standing in the back of the church to shake hands with the attendees when they leave.  This is something I do every Sunday.   As I stood there, there came a young woman to the back of the church with her small son.  She said I'd like to talk to you about baptism.  I said ok, do you understand baptism.  As we talked, I realized that this lady had not ever accepted Christ, didn't know much about salvation so, I ask her if she had ever been saved.  She said "no"  I asked if she wanted to be, she said yes.  I took my Bible, explained to her about how Jesus died for her, how He paid her sin debt and I ask her if she wanted to pray with me and ask Jesus to save her.  She said "yes " and the tears began to flow.  She prayed with me, tears flowing, and gave her heart and life to Jesus.   As soon as my brother had finished the financial report, I took her by the hand and led her to the altar area and told the congregation what had just happened.  Everyone applauded and she and I again walked to the back of the church so she could be congratulated by the congregation as they left.  My brother, who is a very dry joker said, "Maybe I should read this report again, I had no idea of it's affect". This is soul number 2 won for the Lord in 2010.  Praise the Lord.
