God uses us in so many ways that we can't even imagine.
There is no way on this side of Heaven that we could see
what changes we make in those lives that are effected by us.

We all go through hard times and some harder than others.
As most of you know, 5 weeks ago, one of those "hard times"
came to an end for me.

The effect that you all had on my wonderful wife, Ruth (Bubbles),
could only be described as acts of God.  There is no way I could 
show you guys how much I appreciate all you have done for her.

However, it went way beyond Bubbles. I can say this with out any
reservations, I could not have done the will of God the way I did
with out your prayers and encouragement.  I had energy that I
couldn't explain other than Jesus had His hands on me.  Through
your prayers, I understood Gods word more than I ever have.  I
found patience to love the unlovable.  I was able to see these men
through the eyes of God.  My heart ached for their pains and I
so desired to see relationships healed and lives changed.

This may all seem like it would be easy to have these desires and
abilities, but I had my own concerns and fears that could have
easily consumed my mind and time.  I was miserable yet found
joy in study.  I was sad but found happiness in changed lives.  I
was weak but found strength and hope in Christ who never left my
side.  For all these things, I say "THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU
ALL SO VERY MUCH!"  Your prayers have lead me out of bondage
and you are still being prayer warriors for my case.  You guys are
AMAZING.

Still it goes even deeper.  When I shared with these men that men
and women all over the country and over seas were lifting them up
in prayer, tears were flowing.  In fact, it was one of the most powerful
prayer meetings we had in the tier.  As one of my Blogs said, they
couldn't understand why people that didn't know them would care
enough to pray for them.

Even today, there are still men that are being effected by your acts
of love in the name of Christ.  

Last week, during my exciting visit by my beautiful bride, Bubbles,
I received a letter by a man that came into the tier in Feb 08 with many
struggles but knew the Lord in the past.  We call him "Sporty"!  His
knowlage of Christ and His word impressed me.  However, he shared
his fall from Christ and replaced his life with God by going back to drugs
and worldly ways.

I want to share it with you.  I will change a few things and leave a few words
out.  He wrote "Amen" 9 times in this short letter.

How are you brother?  Fine I pray.  As of me, I am praying for you and your family.
Brother Scott, God is STILL moving.  I'll always teach the word and maintain my 
brother.  I pray you are staying focus and I thank you and your wife for lifting up 
our name around the world and churches.  

Brother, I go home XXXXXXXXX  and the word will go forward.  I will stay focus for
our lost ones.  I am thankful for you.  Brother Scott, you was a blessing to the A-2
family.  Now, know bible study is still going on and I will glorify Christ only not my-
self. 

I'm sending this letter in Jesus name and I pray to God that I preach in a Church 
again.  I miss preaching in Church.  God has bless you to have an ear my brother.
So, thank you for the blessing from having an ear, Amen.       "The Sporty"
 
This letter was a true answer to prayer.  He was the one that took over the tier
ministry when I left.  In fact, he finished the prayer call that I started when I
rolled out.  What a way to turn over the church! 

His true blessing came from the knowledge of this amazing MyChurch community
praying for him.  That was a life changing action for him. 

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!  THANK YOU FOR SERVING!!!!!
