On May 22-23, I participated, along with over 100 others, in Covenant Life's (my church) Introducing God retreat in Hagerstown, Md., to experience how the Holy Spirit will work in the lives of unbelievers. During the retreat, many people who did not know Christ were born again, including Magie, who was in my group. What a marvelous testimony to the saving power and mercy of Jesus Christ!
CLC pastor Mark Mitchell preaching about the Holy Spirit.
The Godly men in my group: Bill, Tom, Daniel and Joe.
My group: Bill, Tom, Magie, Daniel, Me and Joe.
During the retreat, Maggie repented of her sins and acknowledged Jesus as her Savior, and God welcomed her into his Kingdom. Here she is with her husband, Tom, right after her conversion.
Welcome to the Kingdom, Magie. As Pastor Mark said, "The angels are having one huge party in heaven." (Luke 15:10)
Great friends in Christ: Sherri, Van and Joe. (The photo is blurry because I had my camera on the wrong setting.),
Me and Daniel, a Godly 80-year-old man and pastor from South Africa.
Joe, the best Introducing God host ever! I have had the privilege to be his IG "admin helper" for the past two years.
This lovely lady (holding the mic) is giving her testimony of how she was born again at the IG retreat. The ladies on either side of her - including Shanna on the left, with whom I used to teach ESL - are believers who were in her group and helped her see her need for a Savior.
This lady from Peru is giving her testimony of how she came to Christ during the IG retreat. She spoke only Spanish (we have a Spanish-speaking group at Introducing God), and the young man next to her is translating what she is saying into English.
