This morning we worshipped the Lord at a bread-breaking meeting
with some fellow Christian believers in Salt Lake City. Many volunteers
from different cities and of all ages were there, yet we met in
oneness to enjoy the Lord's table meeting. We were all supplied
by the Lord in the meeting. Our enjoyment of Christ strengthened
us for the day and overflowed from us as nearly forty of us went
out to preach the gospel and offer people Recovery Version New Testaments.
In four hours, we gave away 269 Bibles.
We
tried something new today: singing hymns while distributing literature.
Colossians 3:16 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to God." A group of us, including some junior high and
high school young people, sang to passersby while other volunteers
handed out literature and Bibles.
- One volunteer
was showing a Christian brother the unique features of the New
Testament Recovery Version when a couple of people walked up and
said, "We just came here to thank you for our Bible. We really
like it." The volunteer thanked the couple and told them
they could tell others about the Bible, to which they responded
that they already had.
- When three
police officers approached our table, we thought we were in trouble,
but actually they just wanted to see if everything was okay. One
introduced himself as a sergeant and said to let him know if anyone
bothered us.
- Today we
spoke with people from Ecuador, Africa, and the Middle East. Even
though some we contacted did not receive a Bible, we still enjoyed
sharing with people about God and the Bible.
Singing
with grace,
