Two Kids and Jesus...

Two Kids and Pray-for-Three. One of the men working on the house next door to Aaron and Court-ney Rutherford's house came over to borrow a flashlight. After the man left, Aaron and Courtney's

son Tyler, who is seven years old, kept bugging his dad about finding out if the guy knew Jesus. So Aaron went and talked to both men about the Lord. I was having lunch one day with Nathan Stephenson at McGill Elementary School. When a student has a visitor, they normally eat at the tables on the plat-form. Nathan asked me if one of his friends could join us.

Two Kids and Jesus (continued from page 1)

Nathan introduced me as the pastor of his church to his friend Tyree. The conversation quickly turned to church, and Nathan, without missing a bite, began to talk to Tyree about how we are all

sinners, and that is why we need Christ. He even invited Tyree to join him in Awana so he could learn more about Jesus. To Tyler and Nathan, telling people about Christ is reduced to its

simplest terms: a natu-ral outflow of their lov-ing relationship with Je-sus, and the desire for others to have the same relationship. It is for the same rea-sons that we encourage you to Pray for Three.

Pray for Three-- three friends and family who do not know Jesus Christ. Pray for their salvation Invite them to church especially these coming two Sundays

This Sunday, we will Fo-cus on the Cross, what the crucifixion of Jesus means for us. Then we will celebrate the Lord's resurrection on Easter Sunday. Our prayer is that even while we do this together at this time of the year, that this is

the normal pattern of our life. May we be excited and useful conduits of the precious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!
