Carmen

Today was a great day in Santa Ana. Mark Connell's group came out for church. The singing was beautiful. We sang in both spanish and english. Dorian preached a great sermon. At the end of the service, Dorian announced there was a lady that wanted to be baptized. Praise God.

Carmen said her life was a mess and that there were many problems in her family. She said she was ready to give everything to God. Carmen has attended church with us for months. She came to Dorian months ago asking for help for her niece. Her niece is Gabriela, the young lady that had been in a motorcycle accident and was in danger of losing her leg. God provided the financial help for Gabriela to have the surgery she needed and she did not lose her leg.

It was indeed a great day as this lovely lady decided to accept Christ and be baptized.

PRAISES TO GOD! and praises to those helping Gabriela getting the proper care and surgery. Praises, also, to Dorian, and those studying and praying for Carmen and her family. I'm sure it was a wonderful, wonderful day as each of you were rejoicing, along with the Angels in Heaven.
Love to all,
Sue

I am glad you had a wonderful Sunday service with a baptism as a bonus! Your worship to God always impresses me.

Hug Tim Hines for me when you get the chance.

Doesn't it always give you goose bumps to see how and why the Lord leads people to you! Praise the Lord for the glory of His name!

"Happy is the person whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned. Happy is the person whom the Lord does not consider guilty. In that person is nothing false." (Psalm 32:1-2 Children's NIV)
