New brother: Edgar!

Last night, i went with Ignacio to the small town of Llano Grande, where he had a contact of this guy named Edgar. We found his house and talked to him for maybe an hour and a half. Ignacio presented a clear message of the Gospel. He kept making excuses why he couldn't be saved. Most dealt with his past sins being too many to deserve forgiveness. We went through John 3:16, Romans 3:32, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, and finally Romans 10:9. I told him that he would make a decision tonight to accept or reject the salvation of Jesus. I explained, "You know in your heart that Jesus is real and He can be your Savior. [He agreed] Also, you are listening to Satan giving you reasons to not accept Jesus. How long will you listen to Satan?" He decided to stop listening to the Devil. He prayed for Jesus to save him and forgive him of his sins. He asked Jesus to make him a new man. He told us he meant it in his heart. That gave way to me jumping around the table and hugging him big time, telling him he is my brother. Rejoice with me, Church!

We will visit him again next Tuesday.
