Vickie Apple submitted a story this week that is worth celebrating! Here is her story:

"A few weeks ago in Wed. night Bible Zone, Cayden - age 7 - asked Jesus to save him and forgive his sins and be the boss of his life! When he excitedly told me about it I was thrilled for him - and amazed at his child-like understanding & faith. But he's sooo young, I told myself! Does he really understand?? 

Then this last Sunday, when the little girl sitting in front of us went up to put her light bulb in the Name Wall representing her own salvation decision, I listened to Cayden explain to his little brother, Braddock - age 5 - what it all means: the white bulb, the blue bulb, how we all sin and that sin means we do bad things; that Jesus forgives all our bad things; that Jesus is now the boss of his life; that Jesus loves us so much he died for us so we can live in heaven with him. I sat quietly and just listened to this 7 year old simply and succinctly explain to his 5 year old brother all about salvation. I'm not questioning whether the 7 year old understands enough anymore. If anything - I question if my old "mature" faith is as pure and simple and tender as his!"

God worked this week through Cayden! He was saved, he has become bold in his faith, and he is encouraging the young and the old by his story!

Steve Harris and the Hell Fighters went back into the prisons this week to share the gospel. God worked in a mighty way and they were able to find Cody Starr. Last week, Danielle Lay shared about her brother, Cody Starr, and how he needed Jesus. She asked for prayer and people prayed.

This week, God answered your prayers! When these men asked Cody if he was a Christian he responded, "I think so". They asked how he knew and Cody mentioned works that he'd done like going to church and doing good things from time to time. They asked a pointed question by saying, "The bible says if you have the Spirit of God in you then you are a child of God and if you don't then you're not. Do you have the Spirit of God in you?" Cody wasn't sure. So he was asked, "Do you want to be sure?" In that moment God worked and Cody said an assured "YES, I would!". Cody surrendered his life to Jesus Christ! ​
