From the Hearts of the B's

Weeks 1-2
From the Heart Series

"one of the best examples of 

Christian teamwork we have ever encountered"-the B's

"We are D and S from the U.S! Both 75 years of age and we went to the Philippines to give the Gospel with Evangelist Mike Redick and SMCI in the 2011 e-campaign!     

They warned us it was to be a very grueling and exhausting time and so we asked the LORD if we should indeed go. As we prayed and talked to each other about it, a fire in us was lit and we knew we just had to go! We would ask the LORD for two weeks.

Arriving early in Negros, we got settled in with the help of Pastor Mitch and Fily Joy (SMCI/Growpoint Church Pastor), then traveled with some of the team to start the e-Campaign in Leyte! 

For two weeks we were strengthened and renewed each day by the Holy Spirit! 

We entered classroom after classroom full of students who wanted to hear what we had to say! Having heard, they made decisions for Jesus--decisions to trust Him alone to save them, decisions to learn more, decisions to do Bible studies with SMCI... The school administrators gave us their students and time, the teachers willingly gave us their classroom time and the students gave their rapt attention. 


We were taught to use the outline of the Gospel from a tract we were given. We used that and our life experiences to illustrate the truth! We prayed that the Holy Spirit would enable us to preach the Gospel so that it might be an exciting and meaningful presentation. He did and it was a success!!!! PTL!!!!! 

The other real blessing we received was to meet the others on the teams from other parts of the world. We learned from them and we all helped each other in one of the best examples of Christian teamwork we have ever encountered. We believe we all made friendships that will last forever."

After being retired for more than 12 years, the B's left home for the open road last Christmas! They have been volunteering very effectively for an educational NGO in a RAN since then.  Their holiday time was given to being used of the LORD to change the eternities of thousands.

They have since returned to the RAN. 

Praise the LORD for them, "may their tribe increase." 

This was their first campaign.
