Her name is Danielle Blevins, and She made my Night.

As I continue on this Adventure of Following Jesus, Striving to be more like him, I realize how much I have changed, and Then I realize some things that Jesus probably does not want me to change.

AND that this is why He calls you and I when and how he does.....Amen?

There are things I was believing I had to rid myself of, and really put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself, you can probably even say stress....YA, Stress is a fair word.
I am that same guy, except now I am full of that Holy Spirit.  As I embark on the other end My Missionary Journey, which involves in Sharing with different Churches, whatever Small Growth Groups, or Bible Studies I can, I am learning A LOT.

 I am learning that I get nervous and draw blanks real quick when I am speaking on anything other than JESUS.  
And I am glad that He has wired me that way.  I have never been a HUGE speaker, then again I didn't have a whole lot to speak on.  
If it wasn't about Deaf Ears being open or Blind eyes now seeing, or People we laid hands on Falling straight over on their heads, only to wake up HEALED on fire w/ the Holy Spirit....

Then it is probably NOT worth speaking about.

Long Story short, God stays on the Move and It tickles me to try to stay with Him. 

For example, Tonight, a friend of mine I have been reaching out to, was going to a Bible Study w/ me in Gettysburg at a Mens Discipleship Home.( The Freedom House).

I called the Family to Prayer, and prepared myself to be Spirit lead and/or however I could be used BEST before this Friend of mine came to pick me up.

We ended up letting the GPS lead us the wrong Direction.  The whole time I am just giving Testimony and talking of Gods Love, not thinking of anything specific, When the questions came.

I still did not see opportunity.  I was still trying to see past my frustration of all that Preparation and then not reaching the Bible Meeting.

Finally, by the time we pulled back into the driveway, Her mind was made up, and her heart was set.!!!! YES!! THIS WAs GREAT!!

We bowed our heads, and we Prayed.  She Received Salvation right there, and The Lord Used me!

MAN it was the greatest.

We spent the next hour or so, with me showing her how to use Bible Gateway.  She Loved the NLT version, and was excited about her new life.  SHE WAS FORGIVEN! 

She was worried about her 3 year old Daughter, and She decided to Dedicate her to the LORD.

And then She ask me , If I would be the One to Baptize her In Water.

I cannot explain the Feeling that you get from Leading someone to Jesus Christ.  

For me, It is what I was made for.  

Thank You Jesus for Using me.



The Plan is to try to depart in December for the Dominican Republic.  Just waiting on some last minute Supporters.  Supporters are the important people on the Team, they allow some "Wiggle Room" in Ministry.  And they are prob the Hugest reason that a lot of Precious Souls are able to be Reached.  Without my Prayer Warriors and Supporters I am not sure where in the Field Jesus would have me placed. Thanks.

Please, If you wanna help reach some people, I encourage you to Join us, email me dbarnard13@gmail.com
