I am a CFNI grad from the early 90's. My wife and I have been serving as missionaries for the last six years.  My wife and I have suffered a big attack of the enemy. Without going into detail, we came home in November 2008 to get some ministry and some much needed rest. My children have been particularly affected by this situation. They love Africa, and their whole lives are there. So to be uprooted and taken half way around the world is pretty serious. I decided earlier when I saw the ad on the back of the CFNI magazine to bring my boys. The Lord showed me to set them on fire with the Glory of God as much as I can. I desperately wanted them to be in the presence of the Lord and to experience Him like nothing else.

I didn’t have the money even for gas to come up. Our ministry is no different than others, we have been struggling a lot this past year with finances. But I told God on Friday morning when I woke up the reason I wanted to go to Dallas again. And told Him that it was pure motives. I asked Him to provide the money for the trip, and to bless me, as a confirmation of His Love for me and my boys and family. I had lunch with a pastor friend of mine later that day. As we met, his wife took out her check book and gave me 80 dollars! I was again amazed at the provision of the Lord and the blessing of the Lord. I didn’t mention a word to them to influence their giving. It was totally God. Because God provided supernaturally, I was full of faith coming and expecting Him to show up and touch my children's hearts.

So I drove up from Tyler TX, and got them there. On the way they were really struggling with deep questions of faith. I was amazed at the depth for the ages. They are only 8 and 10. But their struggle was real. I have been using the current situation to teach them about faith and trusting in God. God has really been teaching them both alot lately.

When we arrived there was no place to sit, so we stood for a while than sat on the floor in the back. The whole reason I came was so my boys could experience God. The songs were so anointed. They were exactly what I needed to hear. My boys even noticed the one about "Perfect Love casting out Fear", as I had had them memorize that scripture in the past couple of weeks. It was exciting and the power of God was present everywhere.

Towards the middle of the evening, my 8 year old, leans up to me and says "Daddy, I can feel Jesus pounding on my heart"...Tears began to stream down my face, as I realised that God had done exactly what I had asked Him to do. I told him to raise his little hands and ask the Holy Spirit to come. As he did, he experienced God. I am so excited, to see the change in my children, as I am contending for future generations in my current struggle. I so desire to leave a godly heritage that my boys can look back on and rely on.

Thank you so much for the CD's. I can not tell you how much they have blessed us over the years. We have used them repeatedly in our worship times as a family and ministry. They are a powerful tool in God's hand. Thank you for being used.

Be Blessed,
S.M.
