Knock, and it will be open

They were about wash their dishes after dinner. It was already dark out and they were preparing to have a devotional time before bed when they heard a knock on their door. They opened the door and there stood several, young Filipinos. They started saying "BP...BP," which means they wanted their blood pressure taken. They proceeded to take their blood pressure, but they quickly learned the Filipinos weren't there for blood pressure. No, God had orchestrated a perfect plan to bring Filipinos straight to their door for the gospel.
Through Vonn's translation and understanding, the young Filipinos had practiced their English before approaching the house, because they wanted to be ready before they spoke to Americans for the first time. So they sat and listened to the team as they shared their testimonies and spoke the gospel to them, and before the night was over, 6 of the Filipinos accepted Christ. Can you believe it? The team didn't even leave the confines of their small house. God brought the broken and thirsty to their doorstep, and tested the team to see if they were faithful. Well, they were and Christ received all the glory. From an interest in Americans, to sharing testimonies, to saving grace—people are changed for eternity. The team is going to continue bible studies with the group, so the relationship doesn't end.


Please pray for these new believers as they learn to walk with God and share their few found faith with their friends and family.
