We see souls saved weekly in and outside of church. Recently Mary was witnessing in the street to a lady named Leslie who asked for prayer as she had a cyst growing and thought it could be cancerous, but didn’t want to get it checked. Mary shared with Leslie her testimony of cancer and told her had she died, being saved, she was sure she would go to Heaven. Mary then asked her if she died, were would she go. Not knowing, Leslie allowed Mary to share the gospel and a bit later bowed her head, trusting Christ as Savior, being born again. We go soul-winning as … Read More »
