Temple, Texas

On Monday, March 18, 2024, the Gospel Sharing Ministries team, made up of Diane Walls, Jeremy Tuck, and Zak Ryznar, knocked on the door of Chestine. We introduced ourselves, and she requested prayers for her family. After prayer, we asked her the “question”. She thought she was all right but wasn’t sure. She invited us to sit down outside on the porch. We obtained her salvation story. After sharing the Gospel presentation with her, she responded by saying she did not understand what the Gospel was before, and now she needed to be baptized to obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She was taken to the church building for her to obey the Gospel.

On March 21, 2024, Trevis Bonnett from Cypress, Texas, Rodney Carter from Killeen, Texas, and Massea Rex from Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock, Texas, were approaching neighbors on a street less than one mile from the church doors. They knocked on the door of a young man named Jorge. Jorge said that he was 6 out of 10 or 60% sure that if the Lord came today that he would go to heaven. Trevis asked if he would like to be 10 out of 10 or 100% sure. Jorge said yes, and Trevis and Rodney worked together to share the Gospel of Christ with him. Jorge was a man of integrity with his response to the Bible and decided at that moment to come to the church building and obey the Gospel right away. Trevis took Jorge’s confession and baptized him into Christ for the remission of his sins. Glory to God!

On Tuesday, March 19, 2024, the Gospel Sharing Ministries team made up of Diane Walls, Walker Perry and Luke Witt knocked on the door of JoAda Williams. She had just gotten off work. We introduced ourselves, and she requested prayers for her family. After prayer, we asked her the “question” and she wasn’t sure that she would go to heaven. She allowed us to come into her home, but after a little while she said she was tired, and she agreed that we could return on Thursday. On Thursday Diane returned with Larry Lovett and Cole Tuck and obtained her salvation story. Her religious background was low church, but she had been involved with other religions. After sharing the Gospel presentation with her, she asked many questions, and said that she did not understand what the Gospel was before, and now she needed to be baptized to obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She wanted to wait until she got off work the next day, Friday. She felt she would be alright until then, and decided to wait. She did come to the church after work on Friday, and was baptized.
