We praise God for the first tangible fruit from our work here in the Columbus area. I've been working with a super young couple as they prepare for their upcoming marriage. This contact was passed on to me, by God's grace, from my new friend Nathan Harrison (a pastor at the Eastside, Columbus, GBC).
Last night we met for the second time. Jamie and Bobby and I were looking at what the Bible says about the role of the husband and wife compared to the example of Jesus and the Church (from Ephesians 5:21-33). I felt led of the Lord to ask some follow-up questions of Bobby from our initial conversation a few weeks ago. The long and the short of it is that the Holy Spirit has been working in Bobby's heart. He believed in Jesus as God's Son, the One who offers forgiveness for our sins, and his own need for Jesus' grace. After some good discussion around Titus 3:4-8, Bobby stated he was ready to communicate a personal commitment to Jesus. We prayed right there at Caribou Coffee.
Pray for Bobby as he lives out this new pursuit of Christ and he and Jamie as they prepare for a lifetime commitment to each other in marriage. Please praise God with us (Luke15:10) for His work! Pray also that they might accept my invitation to join us in our initial spiritual formation group as we move towards a new church.
